[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DCUM has this weird obsession with claiming that [b]EVERYONE in the DMV is gifted[/b]. 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] no. it's more like a lot of parents on DCUM have children who are technically gifted.[/quote]
