  • Kashe Quest, an American girl, gained international attention in 2021 at age two for her exceptional intelligence.
  • She achieved an IQ score of 146, comparable to Albert Einstein, and became Mensa's youngest member.
  • Now six, Kashe attends a personalized learning school founded by her mother, balancing her prodigious talent with a normal childhood.

Kashe Quest, an American child prodigy, captured global attention in 2021 when, at just two years old, she demonstrated an IQ score of 146, a level comparable to that of Albert Einstein. This remarkable achievement led to her induction into Mensa, the international high-IQ society, making her its youngest member in history.

Her mother, Sukhjit Athwal, an early childhood development specialist, first noticed Kashe's advanced abilities when the toddler had mastered the alphabet, numbers, colors, and shapes by 17 months old. Following her pediatrician's recommendation, Athwal documented Kashe's progress, observing not just a strong memory but an innate drive to learn, retain, and apply new information.

Formal cognitive assessments confirmed Kashe's exceptional intellect, revealing advanced skills in receptive memory, logical reasoning, problem-solving, and cognitive processing, far exceeding the average U.S. IQ of 98. Despite her extraordinary gifts, her parents, Devon Quest and Sukhjit Athwal, have strived to provide her with a balanced childhood.

Now six years old, Kashe continues to impress with her learning capacity. She attends The Modern Schoolhouse, an educational institution co-founded by her mother in 2020, which offers personalized instruction. Beyond academics, Kashe enjoys reading, cooking, and playing tennis, activities her parents frequently share on social media, showcasing a life that balances genius with the joys of childhood.

If there is something she does not know, she wants to know what it is and how it works. As soon as she learns it, she starts applying it.
