[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous[b]]I thought the point of the Naglieri was to detect giftedness in young children who may not speak English as a first language[/b]. I have no idea how it could be interpreted for a 9th grader who has likely encountered similar types of problems. The issue isn't whether a 160 is a remarkable score. It's whether a test that measures one tiny facet of intelligence means anything when looking at intelligence as a whole. Your DD is a "genius" in the very narrow range of problems asked in the Naglieri, I guess, but would not necessarily test as gifted in any other intelligence tests. [/quote] The Naglieri is meant to be free of bias, and useful as something that can pick up intelligence for people who have language barriers. The test is not only used for young children, and the test is age normed, so receiving a score in the 99th percentile means that someone did better than 99 percent of other test takers of the same age.
