[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My DD knows, she was tested and a teen, so no way not to know.  The only reason parents won't tell their kids is if they think their IQ is not as high as they hoped.[/quote]

No.  That's not the only reason. My TJ kid's IQ is fine. I just think that once you get above a certain threshold, the number is meaningless. He is smart enough to do anything he wants. Whether he succeeds is not a matter of a 140 vs a 150 IQ.  It's a matter of him applying himself and doing the work.  The actual number was interesting, because the PS vs GAI spread is a clear signal that he is ADHD.  And we have discussed this discrepancy with him, without giving specific numbers, in the context of why he has 504 accommodations why he needs to use them. Besides that, we know he's smart. He knows he's smart. So but "smart" and successful cannot be boiled down to a number. [/quote]

So, in other words, exactly what I said.  His IQ wasn't as high and you didn't want to tell him. One score may have pulled down the overall score, and you just proved my point.[/quote]
