• Kashe Quest, 2, of Los Angeles has been accepted into Mensa, the high-IQ society.
FOX11-TV reported on May 26 that she is the youngest member in the group's history.
"At about 17, 18 months, she had recognized all the alphabet, numbers, colors and shapes," said her mother, Sukhjit Athwal.
Quest can identify all 50 states by shape and location on a map, is learning Spanish and sign language, and can identify elements on the periodic table.
Quest's IQ is measured at 146; the average American's is 100.
Athwal admits that Quest "is still a normal 2-year-old where we have negotiations, we have tantrums ... We're kind of going at her pace and we want to just make sure that she is youthful for as long as she can be." [Fox11, 5/26/2021]
