In many ways, Heidi Hankins is like many other 4-year-old girls: She likes her Barbies and Legos and snuggling up with her favorite book.
But she's a little different in other ways, such as her I.Q. The little girl's score is a whopping 159, just below acknowledged eggheads like Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking, and way above the 100 score that is considered average.
With that remarkable score, she's just been admitted into Mensa, an organization that only allows people whose I.Q.s rank in the top two percent of the population. Now the preschooler from Winchester, UK, has the opportunity to participate in parties and cultural events with fellow brainiacs including Oscar-winning actress Geena Davis and former porn star Asia Carrera.
There are also younger members such as Oscar Rigley, who joined in 2009 when he was under 2-and-a-half years old, and Elise Tan Roberts, who joined that same year at 3.
But it wasn't Heidi's bright idea to join Mensa. Her father, Matthew Hankins, 46, a lecturer at the University of Southampton, came up with that one.
