Yes, double jointed or hypermobility is when the joint is very flexible or lax. This can occurs in many joints but is most common in fingers and limbs. For example, if one is double jointed in their elbow, when they extend their arm the elbow will appear to be bent the opposite way or curving inward.
No, being double jointed is not a requirement to do a scorpion stretch. It primarily involves flexibility in the back, shoulders, and hips. With proper warm-up and practice, most people can gradually improve their flexibility to perform the stretch effectively.

I did it with my middle fingers, but it took a while. I just kept my finger as straight as I could and bent down the tip of my finger. If the middle joint pops up, then hold it down. Keep doing this until you can bend the first part of your finger. It doesn't really make you completely double-jointed, you just gain a new skill.

Being double jointed means that you can bend your joints more than the average person. There are many misunderstandings when it comes to the meaning of being double jointed. In one case, the term itself implies that double jointed people have twice the number of joints than normal human beings. Some even assume that double joints allow for twice the usual amount of motion. However, these meanings are myths. All human beings have the same number of bones and joints, all of which have similar capacities for movement.
It is not possible for one to be double jointed. If one can bend their back, leg, elbow, thumb, etc. in strange ways, then they might think that they are double jointed, but they aren't. It is just easier for them to bend their joints than other people. As the previous answerer stated, it is not possible to be double jointed (unless of course you had a strange birth defect in which an extra vestigial joint was made during your conception). The actual scientific term for "double-jointedness" is hyper-flexibility, the ability for a body part to flex, or bend, more freely than normal body parts.
