Girl becomes youngest ever Mensa genius
Two-year-old Elise Tan-Roberts has become the youngest ever member of brainy society Mensa.
The little brain-box from London first spoke at just five months, was walking by eight months and could recognise her written name by the age of one.
Now at 2 years and four months old her IQ has been tested by child psychologists who say they were blown away by her brightness.
Elise has an estimated IQ of 156, that puts her in the top two percent in the country and is even better than TV clever-clogs Carol Vorderman.
Her proud parents just hope that when she is six she won't need help with her homework ... they are not up to speed on their astro physics.
A spokesperson for Mensa said: "Elise was assessed by Child Psychologist Professor Joan Freeman who has worked with gifted children since the mid-1970s.
"As Mensa can only test people over the age of ten and a half Elise was accepted via a prior evidence application which confirmed that her IQ score is within the top two percent of the population."
Previously Georgia Brown had been the youngest girl joining in 2007 at the age of 1041 days. As Elise was aged 845 days when joining she became British Mensa's youngest ever member.
