Joseph Harris-Birtill, a British toddler, has become Mensa's youngest-ever member at 2 years and 182 days. To join Mensa, one must have an IQ of at least 132. Joseph demonstrated exceptional intelligence, speaking his first word at seven months and reading fluently by two years. His parents, both academics, recognized his advanced learning abilities and sought support from Mensa. Despite his high IQ, they emphasize his kind nature and love for challenges, showcasing a balance of intellect and emotional intelligence.
Joseph's mother explained that it became clear he was exceptional early on, as he first rolled over at five weeks and spoke his first word at seven months.
His mother elaborated on Joseph's skills stating, 'By two-and-a-quarter years old he was reading out loud fluently for 10 minutes, could count to 10 in five languages.'
