[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How high is her IQ? [b]Big difference between 130 and 145[/b]+. Is her verbal IQ lower than her perceptual reasoning? Or are they both high?[/quote]

Eh, not really: http://www.hoagiesgifted.org/highly_profoundly.htm

"There is the numerical answer: a child of IQ 160 is as different from a moderately gifted child of 130, as that child is from an average child of 100.  But IQ scores are no longer derived from a ratio, with the numerical difference between scores indicating the variation.  Today's IQ tests score on a curve, so that the difference between 100 and 115 is far less than the difference between 130 and 145, and the difference between 130 and 145 is far less than the difference between 145 and 160, though the ranges appear similar numerically.

And there are lots of different levels of development to consider in each child.  There is intellectual development, the development measured by an IQ test.  There is also physical development - gross and fine motor skills, social and emotional development, and spiritual development.  And all of these development levels characterize the gifted child."[/quote]
