Meet Elise, the girl of two with an IQ higher than Carol Vorderman!

By Paul Harris

The front door has barely opened before she comes running towards me beaming.

'What's this?' she asks, forming fingers and thumbs into a pointy shape and peering through the gap.

Before I can answer she declares: 'Equilateral triangle. Three sides the same.'

A lot of learning in a little package: Elise Tan-Roberts who has just become the youngest member of Mensa, with an estimated IQ of 156

Happy family: Elise with dad Edward and mum Louise

Of course it is. I should have known. But then I'm not a child genius with a startlingly high IQ.

And Elise Tan-Roberts  -  aged two years, four months and two weeks  -  is.

She has just become the youngest member of Mensa, with an estimated IQ of 156.

That puts her two points higher on the scoreboard than Carol Vorderman, and comfortably in the top 0.2 per cent of children her age.

Here's the best bit, though. She seems to be a sweet little girl with charming parents who simply want her to be happy. 

Elise was little more than five months when she looked her father Edward in the eyes and called him Dada.

She was walking three months later and running two months after that.

Before her first birthday she could recognise her written name and by 16 months she could count to ten. Yesterday she did it again  -  in Spanish.
'What's the capital of Russia?' asks her mother Louise, 28. 'Moscow!' comes the instant reply.

Indonesia? 'Jakarta!' It is tempting for outsiders to speculate whether this is a well-rehearsed performance instilled by pushy parents to show off their daughter's extraordinary talent.

But it seems to have taken Louise and Edward, from North London, as much by surprise as anyone else. Until she started to communicate, all they noticed was a tendency for her to stare at things and at people, as if soaking up information.

Later, at her playgroup, a mother gave her a toy animal and told her it was a rhinoceros.

'That's not a rhinoceros,' said Elise. It's a triceratops.'

Other parents convinced Louise and Edward they should have Elise's intelligence assessed.

Inspired by the story of Georgia Brown, who also joined Mensa when she was two, they took her last month to see Professor Joan Freeman, a specialist education psychologist.

After subjecting her to a complex, 45-minute IQ test, she concluded in a written report that Elise was 'more than very bright and capable  -  she is gifted'.

Bubbly: Elise and mum Louise. 'Our main aim is to make sure she keeps learning at an advanced pace,' says her father, Edward

Bright spark: Carol Vorderman who is also a member of Mensa predicts an exiting future for Elise

She was recommended for Mensa and accepted. Only those with an IQ of 148 and above  -  the top two percent  -  qualify. The average IQ is 100.

Professor Freeman concluded that Elise's 'superb memory' was the source for her 'excellent learning and progress'.

Reassuringly for mum and dad, she added that they were doing everything right.

Yesterday as Elise danced happily in the sunshine at her local park, Edward, a 34-year-old motor consultant and car-buyer, told me: 'Our main aim is to make sure she keeps learning at an advanced 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.'

So what's next  -  quantum physics maybe? 'Give her another couple of weeks.'

Elise was born in London in December 2006 and can boast influences from England, Malaysia, China, Nigeria and Sierra Leone in her background.

There are doctors and lawyers in the couple's extended family but none was a child genius, as far as anyone knows.

Louise works part time as an account manager for Pickfords removals.

Elise's love of music and dance has encouraged the couple to put her name down for education in that area.

They have added her to the long waiting list for the Young Actors' Theatre, formerly the Anna Scher school, which produced a string of celebrated actors; and for Chickenshed, which specialises in music, ballet, mime and dance.

Their major disappointment has been that none of the local state schools they contacted wanted anything to do with Elise until she reaches four and a half.

So what might the future hold? Carol Vorderman told me: 'If she's lucky enough to go to a school where she's encouraged and stretched, she'll continue to enjoy learning and she'll have a fantastic time.

Mookie Jones - leading the fight against the Food World Order!

[katman]

yeh mookie is about 5 foot 11 inches tall. yeh he probably tips the scales at about that much now, i would think. since he is a workaholic, he is letting his health slide, working too much, eating late at night, etc. he will live to regret it. i met mookie in the summer of 2005. he claims he is a experienced street fighter. ha ha

[Z.O.G.]

The only thing Mookie is experienced in is BULLSHIT.

katman, have you ever heard the story of the infamous "parking lot incident"?

Oh my God, another Mookie Jew advertizer. This is unbelievable. Just how many Jew sponsors does this guy have?

[Peter Schaenk]

It should be called "Chew World Order".

ZOG-- your're cointelpro link does not work.

[Z.O.G.]

The link does work, roscoe. I just copied and pasted it in my browser.

Well, what do you know, another Mookie Jew sponsor, some Jew named Dr. Joel Wallach:

Whatever happened to Lisa Giuliani?

[katman]

lisa giuliani was living with that cab driver that calls himself victor thorn. apparently she just booked out of town and left her husband and her 3 children and moved in with this other guy. now she left him and went back home to her children, i guess. that happened about 3 years ago, i think. i haven't heard a word about them anymore.

as far as the parking lot incident at the austin community access cable channel , yeh i heard about it and read about it. i also heard mookie many times in 2005, when i was listening to him, discuss this situation and then after reading about it on the internet, i found out he was not being truthful about what actually happened. he has said on his show repeatedly that he was jumped by 4 government agents and that he fought them all off and matter of fact, he said he beat them up. now i used to find this strange to say the least. then when i read about it online, it seems our hero got his ass kicked when he started jacking with some guy who he had some kind of rivalry with at the cable channel. he told him let's go outside, so the guy did and then commenced to open up a can of whoop ass on mookie....ha ha ha , this after mookie pretended he had a gun in his pants or something, moron, he could have been shot doing that crap.....ha ha ha

[katman]

hey zog, i can't believe some jew is selling freeze dried foods to the tards. i bet that stuff goes bad in a year. ha ha ha

Huffy has in the past accused Lisa and Vic of working for Zionist interests. Standard M.O. for him.

Personally I think that WingTV pretty much got it right when it came to 9/11, Jewish involvement and Mookie... Fake, Real and Fake, respectively.

[Peter Schaenk]

Lisa went off the deep end and joined "sign of the times", another "tard" enterprise with a bunch of guys that wear masks alla "V for Vendetta".

She got her ass chewed out on the site when she had a few complimentary statements re my old broadcast and quickly recanted when she realized she would be forever banned as a "racist" for supporting Peter Schaenk.

This is standard fare with the TARDS.

Stadtmiller, Jones, Blood and DBS have been very successful promoting this line with the "young, hip, college Tards."

They hate the broadcast because they think I am a racist and the WN "young, hip college Tards" hate the broadcast because I am not racist enough.

You gotta love the kids today.

[Z.O.G.]

Peter, speaking of that douchebag Jack Blood(Jack Clayton), I went on his stupid forum back in February to ask his idiot followers if they knew where I could find proof that Mookie's wife was Jewish. Here's what happened:

[Peter Schaenk]

Zog,

I am familiar with all those guys on Blood's forum.

I can't believe they are still hanging around after all these years.

When I had the Wing TV hosts on my show, that's when all hell broke loose at RBN.

Jones started calling me on my private line, threatening me with retribution because I had guests on my show that questioned his integrity, etc.

Stadtmiller told me to cool it, because he didn't want a war with Jones, much like VoR, by the way.

Working through Jack Blood and Rob Revere, Jones started a smear campaign against me because of my "connection" to George Bush.

I never made any secret of knowing George Bush and just about every other politician in Austin, (Dem and Rep). But they wanted to make it look like I was a "neocon" who supported the New World Order.

Oh, and I almost forgot. They went around saying I was a racist because I wanted to close the border and keep "Illegals" out.

I bet they forgot that one.

The point is:

As much as I discuss the evil intentions of the Jew World Order and the "anti-Christ" teachings of the Talmud and Zohar; The people that have tried to hinder my broadcast the most, are my own people.

White people, fellow broadcasters and White-run-networks...These are the guys that have tried to smear my reputation, bear false witness and assassinate my character.

With friends like these, why do I bother talking about Jews?

"...the negative behavior [traditionally] attributed to Jews had now become that of the majority of ‘Aryans.’” (Julius Evola)

[Z.O.G.]

Jones started calling me on my private line, threatening me with retribution because I had guests on my show that questioned his integrity, etc.

So Mookie has called you on the telephone and threatened you before the incident in 2008?

[Z.O.G.]

Stadtmiller told me to cool it, because he didn't want a war with Jones, much like VoR, by the way.

Whoah, wait a minute. Are you saying that the "leadership" at VOR told/asked you to back off exposing Mookie because they didn't want any trouble from him?

[Z.O.G.]

Peter, I have to say that, without a doubt, those assholes over on Jack Blood's forum are the most degenerate white trash patriotards I've ever encountered. They're MUCH worse than Mookie's followers.

Peter, I don't know if it's fair to refer to GCN as a "White-run" network. Around 70% of the advertizers on there are Jewish owned companies, and the biggest broadcaster on the network(Mookie) has a Jewish wife and Jewish kids. And also, did you take a look at the last names of the people who run the network? :-(
