Just the scores

Anonymous
OP here. Thanks for answering and please don't hesitate to answer if your child scored lower than what has been previously answered. There is no judgments with the scoring as this is all anonymous. I think that the score is more important than the % because once you are up at a certain range they all become 99. Just giving the % would flatten out the discussion at the top end, so I think that the number score is more informative. Thanks and keep posting!

Full scale was 149 at 3.11; I believe it was 145 at 2.11. 3.11 score was 99.9% and 2.11 was 99.8 %.

Full scale of 110 at age 5. Funny, I never noticed that "full scale" score before on the sheet. Guess we're the low score here by far, at least to admit it. DC is a lower schooler at a big 3 and happy as can be, as are we.

Reason to rejoice -- for all of us.

i do think the scores are interesting, but i'm also curious about who did the testing and whether there are any trends there.

I'm guessing you could look up the list of recommended testers given out by the schools. I'd bet a lot of these scores come out of those half-dozen offices.

I don't think you're going to find out more than the demographics will bear out: most of these are the children of highly educated, wealthy parents who can afford $30K/year for tuition. These scores may seem high, but the IQ percentiles probably correlate statistically to the top 5% of the country in terms of income and education level. I'm sure that people will provide anecdotal evidence otherwise, but if you aggregate enough numbers, the stats will likely confirm this trend.

Unfortunately, this is a self-selecting sample. Parents of kids who scored highly are far more likely to post their scores - even if anonymously - than parents whose kids didn't. Therefore, these results will tend to skew higher than a real average, rendering them essentially meaningless. Just sayin'. . .
