Meet Kashe Quest a 2-Year-Old Girl With One of the Highest IQ’s in the World

 A Los Angeles toddler identified as Kashe Quest has become a member of  Mensa, a society comprising of the world’s most intelligent people.

Kashe Quest who is just two years old, going on three has an IQ of 146, while the average IQ of an Adult is 100, making her the youngest member of the Mensa.

According to Quest’s mum Sukhjit Athwal, she took interest in sorting different shapes as an infant, and by the time she was 16 months old, she could recognize words.

“We started to notice her memory was really great. She just picked up things really fast and she was really interested in learning. At about 17, 18 months, she had recognized all the alphabet, numbers, colors, and shapes,” she said

Kashe can also identify all 50 states by shape and location on a map. She is learning Spanish, knows over 50 signs in sign language, can count to 100, can identify elements on the periodic table by their symbols, and is even learning to read.

“At the end of the day, she’s in that toddler stage. So she very much is still a normal two-year-old where we have negotiations, we have tantrums, we have everything and it’s different because the way we communicate with her, has to be different because she’s able to understand just a little bit more,” said Athwal.

Sukhjit says it is important to let Kashe lead the way.

“I think one of the biggest things with me and her daughter and making sure she has a childhood and we don’t force anything on her too. We’re kind of going at her pace and we want to just make sure that she is youthful for as long as she can be,” she said.

The executive director of American Mensa, Trevor Mitchell, described Quest as remarkable, adding that it is good her abilities have been recognized early in life.

He told TODAY: “Her parents will be able to help her with some of the unique challenges gifted youth encounter. Being the smartest person in the room isn’t always easy, and Mensa understands the importance of being challenged by others, of having our potential recognized, and of celebrating achievements.”
