Gifted toddler joins Mensa at two
Published: Thursday, 30 April 2009, 2:06PM
A two-year-old girl who can name 35 capital cities has become the youngest
member of Mensa.

Elise Tan Roberts, who can recite the phonetic alphabet and count to ten in
Spanish, has an IQ of 156, making her smarter than ex-Countdown maths whiz
Carol Vorderman.

The toddler, from Edmonton in north London, can already spell her name aloud,
read the words mummy and daddy, name all three types of triangle and reciting
the alphabet.

Mensa, which welcomes the top 2 per cent of the population based on IQ,
normally tests children aged ten or above, but accepted Elise after a child
psychologist found she was in the top 0.2 per cent of her age in the country
on the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale.

Mensa chief executive John Stevenage said: "Mensa are always delighted to
welcome a new member.

"Elise's parents correctly identified that she is an exceptional child. They
now realise they have an interesting challenge on their hands as she grows up.
We wish them well and look forward to seeing Elise develop in the coming
years."

Elise's mother Louise, 28, said: "I don't set out to teach her loads of stuff,
she just enjoys learning and picks things up. She's always on the go, she
never stops."

If There Were Any Right Wing Bigots Who Were Not Mentally Stunted They
Might Have Noticed The Implication That Her Group (156@0.2%) Was Not As
Smart As The General Population (150@2%)

Yes, they are dreadfully short of members because no-one with a high IQ
would subscribe to such a silly concept.
