IQ is pseudoscientific quackery invented by conservative psychologists in the early 1900's to justify arbitrary discrimination, and most "geniuses" on this board conclude so from shoddy online tests, after taking them reiteratedly to memorize the patterns.

This child is doing something seemingly much more impressive than what is expected of a child with an IQ of 145. By definition, a bit more than 1 in 1000 people have an IQ of 145 or higher. You could never predict this from his IQ alone.

IQ scores are directly related to how old you are. If an adult did the same score as the child on the test, then the adult would have a lower iq than the child. These tests don't really show anything besides how ahead the child is in test taking abilities.

I'm genuinely curious how the discrepancy in knowledge was handled though. You must know the year 1 courses to pass the year 2 courses, so he couldn't have done everything at the same time. I'm a bit skeptic at the conduct of TU/E I think he very likely got some kind of special treatment.

Nah there's something fishy going on. Also I wonder one thing you used to always see articles about child genius's who complete their masters at 12-14 and so on. Yet I can't think of a single prominent researcher in my field who wasn't in his late 20's (or older than that) when attaining his or her phd.

Well of course. It takes time to really get the experience to come up with significant original research and successfully execute on that. Unless you're Galois you're unlikely to do really amazing shit at 20.

You have very warped views. If he's genuinely good at art and is smart enough to understand the significance of this, he has every reason to do this.
