Modern Family Star Nolan Gould, 14, on Mensa & Starting College Early

[@maxbowen3234]

Why do I find it so funny that nolan started college at fourteen but in one of the first episodes of modern family he was jumping on a trampoline with no pants and a box on his head

Clever kid. Very nice, polite, smart. He WAS raised well.

[@Breazyy1]

Fun fact, Nolan has a high IQ and is gifted.

[@pepsi.wepsiowo]

Did u also know home ed kids can also start collage at 14 wow

His father was in the military so it makes sense that he comes from a disciplined household

0:48 admitting that he doesn't know everything and that he lacks on other areas makes him already a genius

[@overknight7460]

For all the people who doesn't know this already, Nolan Gould has an IQ of around 155 and he is a member of Mensa. No wonder he is so smart for his age. He is on the line between a Genius and a Super Genius.

[@idontmakevideossubscribe1503]

“Fame is really fickle” Nolan quoted Emily Dickinson. I love him even more

[@hdog24]

i feel like people don’t understand that being in MENSA doesn’t mean you know everything, it means you can learn and absorb information at a much higher capacity than the average person

[@kaidestinyz]

It's not exactly that either. What it means, is having innate logic superior than 98% of the population. I'm a Mensa member and qualified at the top 1%.

Good for him. A lot of people considered "genius level" end up with awful depression or chemical dependencies if their mind isn't kept busy. Personal experience proves this theory.

Not only is he book smart, more importantly, he is incredibly WISE! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@bbrady74]

That is something we need to learn from Nolan He is going to school because he doesn’t know if he will always be an actor or if acting will always be successful And people should do that too Bc u dont know what the future holds and having and education is a great thing to have bc it opens so many more opportunities when you r struggling

[@TheMscandy123]

Honestly I don’t think that’s what he actually thought.. I think he went to college because he genuinely wants to learn. At that age, your opinion is shaped by people around you a lot

I could have easily skipped to college but nobody gave me the option. I had the highest IQ in my high-school and I won multiple national prizes in writing, science and art and nobody cared.

Santiago Arce No, If have a high IQ to the point when you are alot better then anyone in your class and show alot more succsses on much harder subjects then all the people in your grade they will move you up grades, and you do need a very high IQ for that.

[@LSSYLondon]

His IQ is over 50 points higher than your average person. That means that when he says math is hard he means taking college level statistics at age 14 is hard. Keep in mind it tends to be hard for 20 year olds too.

Not necessarily, but Nolan passed all the exams required to graduate from high school and got his GED, which is why he was qualified to start taking college courses (ie. 4 years ahead)
