Nope. Despite repeated requests, OP refused and just wanted us to believe her kid is “profoundly gifted.”

Depending on whose scale you’re using, profoundly gifted means different ranges. According to DYS, it’s an IQ above 145. According to Hoagie’s, it’s 180+. To the extent there is consensus, most experts agree that an IQ above 160 is the range where the gifted child’s needs cannot be met well by standard educational curricula.

OP said her child was several grades ahead. That’s a good clue that the child is probably 160 or above. Anyone who has worked with gifted children or has a child above the moderately gifted range would be able to deduce this from the information she gave.

If you are the same poster who was whining about OP not naming a number previously, your desperate need to know makes you come across as sadly insecure. Let it go.

My child is two to three grades above level. Definitely does not have an IQ above 160.

It’s insecure to want information critical for answering OP’s question?

Ok ...

It wasn’t critical. Only a dumbass couldn’t figure it out.

Interesting. You can deduce a kid’s IQ from a bunch of posts? Better get you in front of some scientists because you’re a medical marvel!

The “figure it out” was referring to the fact that the IQ number is not critical to answering the OP. You just confirmed your nomination for the Darwin Award.

Actually, considering that OP's question was about how to accommodate her supposedly profoundly gifted child, IQ is definitely critical for answering her question.

Nothing is better than TJ, right guys?

I am not a TJ booster.

OP here. Thanks for the suggestions regarding TJ, but DS is a rising 4th grader and despite being advanced, I think it would be a rather bad idea to skip him to 9th. I've received many helpful sighestions on this thread, and am appreciative of those who genuinely tried to be helpful.

23:23, I think I can live without your pearls of wisdom. You seem obsessed with needing to know my DS' IQ. Perhaps you don't realize that you come across as weird, creepy, and pathetic?

Who’s saying skip to 9th? They’re saying to get into the pyramid. You have an awfully high opinion of your kid’s intellect ...

Also, I don’t actually give a crap what your kid’s IQ is. My problem is you refuse to provide it and expect us to just believe your kid is the next Einstein. That’s my issue.

Why would a number be any more believable? Also, IQ tests aren’t that amazing and perfect at predicting academic need. Especially up in that right-hand tail. Your 145 kid may only need to work one grade level above, and the 130 kid is working 6 grade levels above. Which one is PG? This is a weird thing to nitpick op about.
