With intelligence far beyond her years, Elise Tan Roberts can name 35 capital cities and identify the three types of triangle. Her IQ is 156 – higher than Carol Vorderman’s, the maths expert and former Countdown host. The average IQ in the population at large is 100.

The toddler, from Edmonton in North London, can already spell her name aloud, read the words “mummy” and “daddy” and recite the alphabet.

Mensa accepts the top two per cent of the population based on IQ and normally only tests children over 10 years old, but the society made an exception and welcomed Elise based on a standard intelligence measure.

They correctly identified that their daughter was a genius early when they noticed that she just seemed to know things without any explation how she gained the knowledge. Other parents encouraged the Roberts to have Elise’s intelligence assessed. Little Elise was evaluated by a Psychologist who determined that she was more than just bright… she is gifted. At just two years old, she was recommended and accepted to Mensa.

The child is in the top 0.2 per cent for her age, according to Professor Joan Freeman, the child psychologist who used the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale to test Elise.
