The toddler, Muhammad Haryz Nadzim, was invited last week to join Mensa, a British society whose membership rules require an IQ in the top 2% of the population.

Haryz, as his family calls him, received an invitation to the society after meeting with a consultant psychologist who assigned him a score of 142 using the Stanford-Binet intelligence test. Scoring above 145 is considered “genius or near genius,” according to the test’s website.

The 3-year-old is now Mensa’s youngest current member, the society said in an email Wednesday. The youngest-ever member was age 2 years 4 months at the time of joining.

Haryz’s mother, Nur Anira Asyikin, said on Instagram, “My mini brainbox just got invited at his little age to be part of Mensa” and congratulated her “very very clever” son.

Mensa was formed in Oxford, England, in 1946 by Roland Berrill, an Australian lawyer, and Lance Ware, a scientist and lawyer. It has more than 110,000 members across the world.
