Two-year-old toddler becomes youngest member of Mensa

A two-year-old girl with an IQ just below that of Albert Einstein, pictured, has become the youngest-ever member of Mensa in Britain, the high-intelligence society said yesterday. Elise Tan Roberts started talking at five months, walking at eight months and can now name 35 capital cities, recite the alphabet and name different types of triangles, according to the Daily Mirror. "She just says things and you have no idea where she got it from," said her mother, 28. "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." Mensa confirmed that at the age of 845 days -- two years and four months -- Elise was the youngest member, beating Ben Woods, who joined Mensa aged 1,035 days in the 1990s. Elise's IQ of 156 puts her in the top 0.2% of her age group. Einstein had an IQ of 160.
