A California toddler is the youngest American to join Mensa -- the oldest IQ society in the world.

加州的一名幼童成为加入门萨俱乐部年纪最小的美国人。门萨俱乐部是世界上最古老的高智商协会。

 

Kashe Quest, now 3, joined the American branch of the organization on March 29, 2021, at age 2 with an IQ of 146, making her the youngest American member, Mensa confirmed to "Good Morning America."

门萨俱乐部向《早安美国》证实，现年3岁的卡什·奎斯特于2021年3月29日加入门萨俱乐部美国分会，当时年仅两岁的她智商高达146，这使她成为门萨俱乐部最年轻的美国会员。

 

"By 18 months, she had mastered pretty much the alphabet, numbers, colors, shapes ... and then that's when we started noticing this is pretty advanced for her age," Sukhjit Athwal, Kashe's mom, told "GMA." "So we spoke¹ with the pediatrician and she was like, 'Just continue documenting.'"

卡什的母亲苏克吉特·阿斯瓦尔告诉《早安美国》说：“卡什1岁半就已经掌握了字母表、数字、颜色、形状等知识，从那时起我们开始注意到她的智力发育很超前。我们和儿科医生交流了这一情况，医生的意见是：继续密切关注。”

 

With a background in child education, Athwal has learning resources readily available around her family's home, but never pushed Kashe in any particular direction.

拥有幼儿教育背景的阿斯瓦尔在家中有很多现成的学习资源，但是她从未给卡什设定特别的学习方向。

 

"The way we've implemented² her learning is we've never really forced her to sit down and do anything -- it was out of her natural curiosity," she said.

她说：“我们从未强迫她坐下来做任何事情，她学习都是出自天然的好奇心。”

 

According to her parents, Kashe memorized the 50 states by shape and location and could name all of the elements on the periodic table by the time she was 2 years old.

据卡什的父母称，卡什在两岁时就能记住美国50个州的形状和地理位置，还能背出元素周期表上的所有元素。

 

"That's when we were encouraged to explore our options in terms of getting her tested," Athwal said. "It's pretty amazing what she's doing at this point in time and how fast she's grasping concepts."

阿斯瓦尔说：“这时候有人鼓励我们带她去做个测试。她在这个年龄段所做的事以及掌握概念的速度太令人惊讶了。”

 

To qualify for Mensa membership, applicants³ must take an approved intelligence test and score at or above the 98th percentile. "It was working on receptive memory, cognitive⁴ skills and logical reasoning," Athwal said.

想要进入门萨俱乐部，申请者必须接受正规的智力测试并答对至少98%的题目。阿斯瓦尔说：“门萨俱乐部测试了她的接受性记忆力、认知技能和逻辑推理能力。”
