Six-year-old Chandler Hughes of Texas has recently made history as one of the youngest ever members to be admitted into Mensa, a society for people with exceptionally high IQs. His family, speaking to KPRC, said that this is a “fraternity of people who are essentially geniuses”.
Chandler’s parents noted that it all started when he began reading and doing math at a second grade level at just one year, nine months old. His academic abilities were so advanced that he was enrolled in pre-kindergarten, even though he was only two years old.
Now, Chandler is attending first grade at The Imani School, despite being six years old. He has expressed an interest in medicine and healing, and wants to become a medical doctor when he grows up. His family is supportive of his aspirations and is also helping him to work on his social skills.
Mensa was founded in 1946 England by Roland Berrill and Dr. Lance Ware. Its name is derived from the Latin word “table”, which symbolizes its non-biased, round-table membership. The only requirement for admission is a score in the top 2% of standardized intelligence tests. With over 150,000 members across 90 countries, Mensa’s mission is to promote intelligence, research, and to create a community of bright minds.
Chandler Hughes is a prime example of how much potential young minds have. With the right environment and support from his family, this 6-year-old’s future looks bright.
