[quote=Anonymous]DCUM has this weird obsession with claiming that EVERYONE in the DMV is gifted. It's patently false. If you take the cutoff for being moderately gifted as an IQ of 130 (up for debate, but it is an often-cited number), that means just over 3% of the general population is moderately gifted. Even if you assume the DMV has a higher than average prevalence of gifted children (say even 5x the average, which is probably overstating it), that would mean 15% of children here would be gifted. To get to the point where 99th percentile (135 IQ) would be considered "average" (as one PP alleged) would mean the DMV would have a prevalence rate of that IQ that is 50x the general population, which is ludicrous. The IQ rarity chart, for reference: https://www.iqcomparisonsite.com/iqtable.aspx [/quote]
