[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I do not know ours, but we know it was high enough to be in gifted and talented education in the 70s and 80s. Neither of our parents told us ours, and we did not tell our kids theirs.

One kid was tested in preschool for private school admissions, but I don't consider that valid due to the young age. It was very high, but I think it would be for any precocious kid.

Our other kid was only tested as a teen because of suspected LDs, and the psychologist said the number is not reliable because of the LDs. Really bright kid, very low number.

It's kind of fascinating. Huge difference in their tested IQs (more than 30 pts), but they have similar GPA and SAT scores (both above 98th percentile). [/quote]

As a kid I got into a GT program in Maryland in the 80s. It was somewhere in the 130s. I don’t feel particularly smart because my neighbor didn’t get in but ended up becoming a heart surgeon! I did read a lot and play many instruments. I hate math though.

One of my kids was tested for LD as well. She was diagnosed with ADHD and then a couple years later with ASD. Her global IQ averaged lots of different scores, some of which were high and some were low. I think she’s creative and strangers tell me all the time how smart she is. So I don’t really care about the number.
