بعد هاري تشابل

التحاق طفلة في الثانية بمنظمة «منسا»


الطفلة بياتريكس تاونساند انضمت إلى منظمة منسا بحاصل ذكاء 136

لندن - ي ب ا

    فاجأت طفلة في العامين من عمرها كل من يحيطون بها عندما أخذت تستخدم الكمبيوتر وتجري بحثاً على الإنترنت ما دفع أهلها إلى إخضاعها ل"امتحان نسبة الذكاء" (IQ) ما أهلها للدخول إلى مجموعة "منسا" للعباقرة المتفوقين البالغة نسبتهم 1% من مجمل الناس. وذكرت صحيفة "ديلسي ميل" البريطانية ان بياتريكس تاونساند ليست كغيرها من الأطفال في عمرها، إذ انها تستخدم فأرة الكمبيوتر كالمراهقة وتحركها بمهارة من برنامج تثقيفي إلى آخر حتى انها تجري بحثاً عبر موقع "غوغل" الإلكتروني بسرعة فائقة. وأشارت إلى ان الطفلة أصبحت واحدة من بين عباقرة مجموعة "منسا" بعدما تبين ان معدل ذكائها 136. وأوضحت ان الطفلة استحقت الدخول في المجموعة عن عمر سنتين و6 أشهر بعد الخضوع لاختبار مع عالم نفس لأنها في سن لا يخولها الخضوع لاختبار مكتوب. وقالت والدة الفتاة زوي تاونساند، 38 سنة، انه كان من الواضح منذ كانت في السنة الأولى من العمر انها متفوقة على من هم في عمرها، فقد بدأت تتكلم بطريقة واضحة في سن لا يفترض بها ذلك. وأوضحت انه إذا سألتها إن كانت ترغب بشرب شيء ما يكون جوابها "بالتأكيد" بدلاً من "نعم".

وذكرت الوالدة ان ابنتها تمكنت من قراءة كل حروف الأبجدية قبل بلوغ السنة الثانية من العمر، لكن مهارتها على الكمبيوتر هي المذهلة. ومازحت الأم قائلة "يحتمل أن تقرصن موقع البنتاغون يوماً". يذكر ان أصغر فرد دخل "منسا" ببريطانيا هي إيليز تان روبرتس، التي أدخلت عندما كان عمرها سنتان و4 أشهر.

يذكر ان المنظمة كانت قد ضمت الى عضويتها طفلا في الرابعة يدعى هاري تشابل، بلغ حاصل ذكائه 144.

Two-year-old 'Matilda' becomes youngest ever girl in Mensa

By DUNCAN ROBERTSON

 

 

 


Her parents knew Georgia Brown was bright. After all, she could count to ten, recognised her colours and was even starting to dabble with French.

But it was only when their bubbly little two-year-old took an IQ test that her towering intellect was confirmed.

Georgia has become the youngest female member of Mensa after scoring a genius-rated IQ of 152.

Georgia Brown has an official genius-rated IQ - Intelligence Quotient - of 152

This puts her in the same intellectual league, proportionate to her age, as physicist Stephen Hawking.

According to an expert in gifted children, Georgia is the brightest two-year-old she has ever met.

Parents Martin and Lucy Brown have always regarded their youngest child as a remarkably quick learner.

She was crawling at five months and walking at nine months.

By 14 months, she was getting herself dressed.

"She spoke really early - by 18 months she was having proper conversations," Mrs Brown said.

"She would say, 'Hello I'm Georgia, I'm one'. She was also putting her shoes on and putting them on the right feet."

Georgia was so perceptive that after one outing to the theatre to see Beauty and the Beast she solemnly informed her parents: "I didn't like Gaston (the villain). He was mean and arrogant."

Struck by the similarities between her daughter and Matilda, the title character in the Roald Dahl story about a gifted child, Mrs Brown began to worry about Georgia's future education.

She contacted Professor Joan Freeman, a specialist educational psychologist, for advice.

Professor Freeman applied the standard Stamford-Binet Intelligence Scale test to Georgia and was amazed to find this was too limited to map her creative abilities.

She said: "Even at two she was very thoughtful.

"What Georgia did on some questions was of a higher quality than that which was necessary to gain a mark.

"She swept right through it like a hot knife through butter.

"I would ask her things like 'give me two blocks or give me ten blocks' and she would manage it as easily as you would expect a five-year-old.

"In one test I asked her to draw a circle and she did it so perfectly.

"Most adults would struggle to do that. Her circle was near to being perfect.

"It shows she can physically hold a pen well but also that she understands the concept of a circle."

Georgia, who is at nursery school, was also able to tell the difference between pink and purple - a skill which most children learn at primary school age.

Professor Freeman said: "I said to her, 'What a pretty pink skirt, and you have tights and shoes to match'.

"She said, 'They're not pink, they're purple'. Most children go to school aged five and start to learn colours, let alone knowing the difference between pink and purple.

"I have to keep reminding myself that she is only two."

To the amazement of the family, who live in Aldershot, Hampshire, Georgia scored 152 points on the IQ test, putting her in the top 0.2 per cent of the population. Those with an average IQ would score around 100 points in the same test.

Georgia was then invited to join Mensa, the High IQ society whose members have IQs in the top 2 per cent of the population. Georgia is one of only 30 Mensa members under the age of ten.

Mrs Brown, chief executive of a charity, believes Georgia has benefited by growing up as the youngest of five children.

She has been absorbing information from her older brothers and sisters and father, a self-employed carpenter, while not receiving any special treatment.

"There is always someone around to offer her something," her mother said.

"But she still has temper tantrums, like you wouldn't believe, throwing herself on the floor.

"She doesn't think she's better and cleverer than everyone else. She is a very kind and loving child."

Georgia, who has a "wicked sense of humour" is as busy as any toddler, enjoying a schedule of ballet classes, listening to stories, dancing, singing, sport and even watching the TV.

Joining Mensa? It's child's play for two-year-old Beatrix who is one of the clever club's youngest ever members

At the age of only two, Beatrix Townsend might be expected to do little more than randomly bash the keyboard and stare blankly at the screen when in front of her mother's computer.

Instead, she can operate the mouse like a teenager while skilfully moving from one educational game to another, and carrying out a Google search is a doddle.

Now she has become one of the youngest ever members of Mensa, with an IQ of 136, putting her in the top 1 per cent of the population.

Spelling it out: Beatrix Townsend is one of the youngest ever members of Mensa

She was admitted after being tested by an educational psychologist in December when she was two years and six months old (too young to take the written IQ test).

Her love of reading, spelling and electronic games has put her well ahead at nursery school in Grimsby.

Her mother Zoe Townsend, 38, said it was clear when she was one that she was advanced for her age. She started stringing sentences together before most children can talk and her language was relatively advanced.

'If I asked her if she wanted a drink she would say "certainly" rather than "yes". She is inquisitve and constantly asks questions.'

Before her second birthday she could read all the letters of the alphabet. But it is her ability on the computer that stands out.

Her favourite game involves looking at pictures of objects and spelling them, but she is adept at following instructions and performing basic computer functions.

'We joke she will hack into the Pentagon one day,' said her mother, a trainee teacher whose husband Wesley is an accountant.

Despite her high IQ, Beatrix in other ways is a normal little girl. Her favourite book is The Gruffalo, her favourite character Angelina Ballerina and she loves nothing more than a cuddle from mum.

The youngest ever member of Mensa in the UK is Elise Tan-Roberts from London, admitted last year at two years and four months.
