Britain's youngest Mensa member is four-year-old Theodore "Teddy" Hobbs of Portishead, Somerset. Teddy, who prefers to be called "Teddy," learned to read at the age of two and is able to count to 100 in six non-native languages, including Welsh, Mandarin, Spanish, and German.
Beth and Will Hobbs, Teddy's parents, were shocked to learn that their son had been accepted into the Mensa group after scoring 139 out of 160 on the Stanford Binet test. Teddy's remarkable intelligence can be seen in his ability to read and count in seven languages at the age of four.
Mensa is the largest and oldest high-IQ society in the world. It is a non-profit organization that is open to individuals who have scored in the top 2% on an approved IQ test. Mensa was founded in the United Kingdom in 1946 and has since expanded to over 130 countries. Mensa members come from all walks of life and range in age from 2 to 102.
Membership is open to people of all races, religions, and nationalities. The organization's goals include promoting intelligence and research into the nature, characteristics, and uses of intelligence. Mensa offers a variety of programs and activities for its members, including local and national events, discussion groups, and publications. Mensa also hosts an annual International Gathering, where members from around the world can meet and participate in a wide range of activities and lectures.
The organization has a philanthropic arm, the Mensa Foundation, which supports research and education in the field of intelligence.
Mensa has a strong online presence, with an active website, social media accounts, and online forums for members to connect and interact.
