[quote=Anonymous]NP here. I don't have DCs old enough to take any IQ tests, but I have some experience in gifted education. I also was curious as the OP here when I read the referenced post about HG/PG DCs. IQs above 145 are very rare, and I suspect true even for FCPS. One PP said probably the parents spending $500 for the IQ test are those whose DCs scored in the 120s (and PP didn't say, but presumably so they can appeal to get into AAP). That is certainly true, but from my experience, another set of parents spending $500 for the IQ test are those whose DCs scored very high on achievement/ability tests or otherwise have demonstrated some exceptional giftedness. My assumption is that many DCs who have exceptional IQs are indeed tested. So I'm in agreement with OP's hypothesis that while DCUM seems to be full of kids with high results, the truly rare (IQs over 145 or so) are still truly rare, even in FCPS.[/quote]
