[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have no idea why you are surprised a kid who formerly got two 99% now gets a perfect score. Where is the news other than what may be a slight surprise on your part?  [/quote]

Well it was years ago, so I really haven't given much thought to her scores in quite a while.  And even though she scored 99 percentile, she could have still scored quite a few points below the max.  Seeing her get the max score was really quite a bit more than a slight surprise, I was actually rather astounded by it  [/quote]

I have no idea why this would astound you. My kid scored very high on the cogat and Wisc. [b]You had no idea with 2- 99% scores, admission into the gifted program, and presumably years of success in that program and you are astounded that the kid got a perfect score on an abilities test?[/b]  [/quote]

Yeah.  To me a 160 seems like it's Einsteinian level smart, and while it's pretty obvious to me that DD is very smart, she spends most of her free time texting friends, making tik toks, and watching James Charles makeup tutorials.  She doesn't seem to be on the path for curing cancer. [/quote]

Well, that makes sense because the NNAT doesn't measure anything having to do with advanced math, physics, or biomedical research. Your daughter is good at visual puzzles. That's great. There's probably one or two subtests on the WISC (a proper IQ test) that correlate highly with it. You could have her take one of those from a psychologist if you fear you are overlooking something in terms of her potential. But before you spend the money you might want to google it so you can see examples of what the NNAT questions actually look like.[/quote]
