[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow...what are the chances that there are...what 4 or 5 kids who are profoundly gifted in this area which is rare...and their parents are all on this site responding to this thread?  Um...zilch.  These kids aren't profoundly gifted....not saying there weren't told that.[/quote]

We're having some definitional problems. Some people use the terms this way:

120 - 140 = gifted
140 - 160 = highly gifted
160+  = profoundly gifted

Some people add additional levels "moderately gifted," "exceptionally gifted," and "profoundly gifted" with PG being reserved for IQ scores over 180.

If you use the 160 definition, you'll have a PG kid in every 10,000 students on average. Given the SES of DCUM, it's probably higher for this sample. You also draw parents from outside the area to this board.

What is your source for these ranges/definitions?  You look like you're using old number ranges, as 160+ is rarely scores on current tests.  Older tests would put today's 145 kids at about 165.[/quote]
