Anala Beevers is 4 and smarter than you.

Anala — who learned the alphabet when she was only 4 months old, her parents say — has an IQ over 145. The New Orleans toddler recently was invited to join Mensa, the high-IQ society for people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on the standardized intelligence test. Anala is in the 99th percentile.

Anala loves geography, knows the location of every U.S. state and the names of their capitals. She even carries a map of America everywhere she goes.

"She needs a reality show," her father, Landon Beevers, told People magazine. "She keeps us on our toes."

She also knows she's smart.

"Really smart," Anala says.

Her mother, Sabrina Beevers, says Anala is constantly correcting the family's grammar.

"She's a handful," Landon Beevers said. "I'll tell you, she's a handful."

Anala is not the youngest Mensa member. In June, Adam Kirby, a 2-year-old from London, became the youngest boy ever to join Mensa, according to the Digital Journal. Emmelyn Roettger, a 2-year-old from Washington, D.C., joined last year, becoming the youngest U.S. member.

One of the chief characteristics of Mensa members is that most of them don't stay members very long. Getting in is proof of high IQ .... and IQ stays high even if you don't keep paying the annual dues. Most members realize that they remain intelligent even after they decide that it's stupid to keep paying $70 a year for an organization that mostly schedules cocktail parties on a weekly basis. Average duration of membership is slightly more than two years.

As for child members, unless a parent is also a member and enjoys Mensa activities, the parents often make a firm decision to pull the kid out, sometimes even before the end of the first year. Having a high IQ is not a guarantee that an adult is a fit companion for a child.

Having a high IQ is also not a guarantee that one is honest, reliable, or even well-balanced; Mensa has plenty of examples to prove that.

If they can't realize that before they join, then they obviously aren't that smart.

Cough it up, Shoon.

You and I both know IQ tests are not a reliable gauge of genius unless administered to a child who can read very well - ie minimum grade 3.

Anyone unable (due to age) to take an IQ test, but can memorize some things, is given a guesstimate label of "genius". Her being invited to join Mensa - seriously? - well no surprise there considering Obamanation.

No doubt this little girl seems quite bright but at this age to call her a genius is a stretch. Give her a proper IQ test at age 8 or 9 and then we'll talk labels.

We are experiencing one of those rare moments of total accord.

Henry Kissinger is, by all acounts, a brilliant man - on the order of Hannibal Lectre.
