Heidi Hankins sat an IQ test after nursery teachers said they were struggling to find activities to keep her challenged.
The average IQ score for an adult is 100 but the exceptional youngster achieved a staggering 159 points - just one mark shy of scientist Albert Einstein.
She beat number cruncher Carol Vorderman (154 points) and is only slightly behind Big Bang physicist Stephen Hawking (160 points).
Heidi's father Matthew, from Winchester, Hants, is hoping she can skip a year when she starts school to ensure she does not become bored.
The Southampton University lecturer, 47, said: "We always thought Heidi was bright because she was reading early. I was curious about her IQ and the results were off the scale.
"I got her the complete set of the Oxford Reading Tree books when she was two and she read through the whole set of 30 in about an hour. It's what you would expect a seven-year-old to do."
He said Heidi is a head taller than her classmates, and at 115cm (3ft 10in) more physically resembles an average six-year-old.
Dr Hankins added: "We don't push Heidi at all. She has taken up everything herself and teaches herself.Click to see more

Small children only pick a specific watch that caters to their attraction
at that specific stage of time. Shell cameos employ a thin concave
spine, together with the exception of abalone and mother of pearl
that are typically flat for the back again and somewhat thicker.
The diamonds were usually little in terms of carat, however
were set during a means that created them sharp and simple to use
to scribble on the glass.
