The latest Mensa member is a five-year old boy from the Gregory Heights neighborhood of Burien.

Wikipedia notes, “Mensa is the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standardized, supervised IQ or other approved intelligence test.”

Alex Schwieger is a first grader at Gregory Heights Elementary. He entered elementary school at age 4 last September.

According to his father, Bob Schwieger, Alex has been excelling at his educational requirements there.

“This prompted his Mom and I to have him tested and found out that his 135 IQ places him in the 99th percentile,” the proud father reports.
