Park Life 71 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Elise Tan-Roberts was five months 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 should could recognise her written name and by 16 months she could count to 10. She is now able to do the same in Spanish. Inspired by the story of Georgia Brown, who also joined Mensa when she was two, her parents Louise and Edward, from North London, took her last month to see Professor Joan Freeman, a specialist education psychologist. After Elise completed a 45-minute IQ test, Prof Freeman concluded in a written report that Elise was "more than very bright and capable - she is gifted." Only those with an IQ of 148 and above, the top two per cent, qualify for Mensa. The average IQ is 100. For a child her age, Elise is in the top 0.2 per cent. Her father, a 34-year-old motor consultant, said: "Our main aim is to make sure she keeps learning at an advance pace. "We don't want to make her have to dumb down and stop learning just to fit in. But she's still my baby. I just want her to be happy and enjoy herself." Carol Vorderman has an IQ of 154. They are going to fuck up her life these parents.

Kid Dynamite 7328 Posted April 30, 2009 Share Posted April 30, 2009 Is been proven that kids say baba,mama,dada etc. as their first words. Not because they know who their dad is but because thats how they learn to speak. I also read that babies have the potential to be genius' but society blunts their creativity and intelligence by placing all these norms and rules on people and that education is more of a hindrance than a help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, by speaking to the media about it they've clearly got her best interests at heart. Edited April 30, 2009 by alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
