Child genius Kingston Lawrence has joined the exclusive Mensa group. The 7-year-old genius with an IQ between 145 and 150 is in the 99th percentile on an IQ test.
This rare achievement has made Lawrence’s parents extremely elated. According to parents Deidra and Kala, Lawrence is interested in STEM , specifically in mathematics and robotics, and he aspires to pursue a career in architecture.
Reacting to this exclusive accomplishment in an interview with KLFY-10 in Lafayette, LA, Deidra said, “He’s always interested in learning new things and trying things. And so it’s just, it’s wonderful to see.”
Kala also said, “My initial reaction was very nervous. I was just like, ‘Oh my god, what is this? What do you do with that?’ I didn’t know it was that big of a deal. That his intellectual capabilities were that high, you know.”
Lawrence shares his excitement about being a member of the illustrious group, saying he feels “really good” and happy about joining the organization.
“I thought it was pretty nice because this is probably the first or second club I’ve ever got into,” explained Kingston.
