[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're right they aren't IQ tests, they are "ability" tests that are highly correlated with IQ. They are also widely used by school districts to identify intellectual giftedness. I.e., the PP point is still valid even if she was incorrectly referring to the NNAT and Cogat as IQ tests.[/quote] She said scoring that well on the two tests was the definition of giftedness. That's only true if they were IQ tests. She is bashing the teacher for not recognizing giftedness because of the scores on those tests. Because they aren't true IQ tests, there are usually other things that are factored into the selection process, e.g. teacher input. [/quote]
