2-year-old Genius has IQ of 156

Elise Tan-Roberts of Edmonton in North London is a most unusual 2-year-old with an IQ of 156, rated in the top 0.2 per cent of her age group.

And she's the youngest member of Mensa, the society for genuises.

Elise can name 35 capital cities, identify the three types of triangle, spell her name aloud, read the words "Mummy" and "Daddy" and recite the alphabet.

She was five months old when she spoke her first word, calling her father "Dada." She was walking three months later and running two months after that.

Before her first birthday Elise could recognize her written name and by 16 months she could count to 10. She is now able to do the same in Spanish.
