Some people don’t seem to understand the measurement of IQ. Your IQ is relative to your age group. When they put a two-year-old in Mensa, it doesn’t mean that the two-year-old is smarter than you. What it means is that that two year old is smarter than 98% of other two-year-olds.
Given that, I’m not sure what kind of standardized IQ tests are available for two—year-olds. However if a two year old is reading books, doing math, speaking multiple languages etc. you can assume they’re in the top 2% of two-year-olds.
I’m not gonna disagree with you about the wisdom of labeling a two-year-old as a genius. Obviously the child is not asking for that label, it’s the parents. That type of label can put a lot of pressure on a kid.
When I was a kid, schools wouldn’t tell children if they achieved or or didn’t achieve a high IQ score on a standardized test.
Of course, in high school you kind of start figuring it out once you start taking tests like the SAT.
