Quest's pediatrician noticed she could already speak with advanced syntax and have dialogue in complete sentences at 18 months old, so, they recommended that she be tested by a psychologist who administered the Mensa test, in which she scored 146, certifying her as a genius.[4] She can correctly identify every American state, every continent, every branch of government, and every element on the periodic table, in addition to learning Spanish and American Sign Language.[5]
