[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone find it surprising how many 3+ standard deviation IQs there are on this thread? I mean it's not a random sample, I expect it to be pretty skewed, but come on. Something is up with the testing or the dcum audience is much different than I thought.[/quote]

No, it is not surprising at all.   Title is about an issue.   People with that issue or close to that issue are attracted to the title.

I’m a pp with a lot of friends and family who fall in this range.   This is not coincidental at all.  Intelligence is genetic and intelligent people tend to flock together.

It is also not shocking that there is so much testing in this range.   Any time there is a large difference between the norm and a person’s experience, more testing is likely.   I was actually first tested because of a speech disorder that made me seem slow.  Once my IQ was discovered (only 130-135 but still), there were lots of opportunities for enrichment that included more testing.  My child was tested to apply for private schools (which we ended up deciding against).  My husband’s children were tested because they have severe problems in school - they have extremely high IQ (150+) but slow processing speeds, which causes a lot of problems.  These are just a few examples of why one would be tested.
