I don't like knocking other professionals but it might be the choice of tester. If you scroll back through these forums and look at the scores linked with this doctors name they seem interesting.

Most psychologists see a rough equivalent of the bell curve regarding test scores. In this area you do see more 115-125 FSIQ scores but not the 135-150 I see posted on this board. Certainly not enough to represent the amount of children in the differentiated services in the various public and private schools.

As a tester you have a small amount of lee way when recording and interpreting answers. You certainly can frame things in your clinical interpretation. If FCPS sees a large amount of children coming with inflated scores from one tester over the years...well it will make them pause.

GMU put out two interesting studies (you can use Google scholar to look them up) about children brought in by their parents for WISC testing for the AAP program the average IQ was in the 120s for both studies.[/quote]

+ 1 (assuming score put out by posters were real)[/quote]
