One of our Nursery girls has become Wales’ youngest member of MENSA, the high IQ society. Georgia G is one of just six pre-school MENSA members across the UK and Ireland.
After assessments last month, which lasted a total of five hours, and tested Georgia's aptitude for English and Mathematics, the results confirmed that Georgia's IQ meant that she was eligible for MENSA membership—putting her in the top 2% in the country.
Mrs Ashill, Deputy Principal and Head of Junior School at Howell's said:
"We are delighted for Georgia and feel very proud of her incredible achievement. In the Nursery at Howell's we give all our girls opportunities for thought, exploration and discovery."
MENSA was founded in England in 1946 by Roland Berrill, a barrister, and Dr Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. They had the idea of forming a society for bright people, the only qualification for membership of which was a high IQ.
The society welcomes people from every walk of life whose IQ is in the top two per cent of the population, with the objective of enjoying each other's company and participating in a wide range of social and cultural activities.
