[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] As a trained statistician, it's too high. On the other hand, this area has a strong selection bias towards the very bright.[/quote] As another trained statistician, I think [i]at best[/i] an area as diverse and with as high of a FARMs population as NoVa would have twice as many gifted kids as in the general population. So, there would be maybe 5% in the national top 2.5% A rate of 20%+ is ridiculous. This area does have a high rate of college graduates, but that is more suggestive that we have a large population of bright, motivated, high-achievers. Most college graduates, lawyers, etc. would fall in the bright, but not gifted category, and it's likely that their children would as well. [/quote]
