    Cool Really Bad News for the Experts on IQ; and we all know who they are.

    4-year-old Anala Beevers Accepted into MENSA with IQ of 145



    This Black History Month, we'd thought it would be great to highlight some young people who represent an impressive Black future.

    Sabrina and Landon Beevers attest that their daughter, Anala, learned the alphabet at only 4 months old, and it's hard to doubt them because Anala has an IQ over 145. The New Orleans toddler was invited to join Mensa, the high-IQ society for people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on the standardized intelligence test last June. Anala is in the 99th percentile.

    That was more than half a year ago. Surely, Anala is successfully multiplying fractions by now.

    Video at the Link.

    Anala Beevers from New Orleans learned the alphabet when she was four months old and by 18 months had mastered numbers in Spanish.

    That's totally awesome. Good for that kid.

    High IQ and race have nothing to do with each other, the average scores that vary from race to race are easily explained by many variables that have no foundation in race. I truly believe that and stand by that assertion.

    Yay, let's pretend rare outliers are the norm! That'll defeat years of statistical research that shows the exact opposite conclusion!

There are more than 57,000 members of the prestigious organization in the U.S. alone, and their diverse backgrounds include teachers, athletes, CEOs and homemakers—362 of those members are African-American. Here’s a look at nine of the group’s most distinguished Black members.—Britt Middleton

    Because a black person with a high IQ is similar to being 9 ft tall.

    Someone the size of Yao Ming is any anomaly for any race, not just Asians. And frankly, a 145 IQ is rare for any race, as well.

    Lol this. How many people ever in the NBA have been 7'6 aside from Yao? He's a ridiculous anomaly.

    I'd say the average Asian guy is far, far shorter than Yao Ming, but because of Yao Ming's existence, I should believe that genetic traits like height are completely random in every group of people.

    That's basically what this thread is doing.
