[quote=Anonymous]While it is true that NNAT has big discrepancies of scores being either too high or too low, achieving 160 is an accomplishment.
To be fair, it is generally know that Einstein did not have high IQ.  And OP's DD is in 9th grade so AAP does not apply.
if there are any reason for OP to test the DD at GMU or private psychologist, it will be to gain more knowledge as a parent to better support their child.
or OP can wait until DD turns 16 to take Stanford-Binet instead of WISC incase she scores high enough to join Triple Nine society.
I have read many posts stating their kids scores over 145 on NNAT but haven't seen scores such as 160 before (didn't look every forum post)
this ability tests are well, doesn't really have consistency,  for instance, my DD received 151 in Cogat last month as 5th grade (private school)
but DAS II she took month prior she only obtained 136, and 134 in WISC 6 month prior.  In another hand I've read someone with 120 CogAT receiving 145 on WISC.
because this ability tests have different sub-tests, some kids have extreme talent in some areas to boost their scores.

In general, while people with high IQ does have little advantage in quick learning, it also is their weakness as they tend to become too confident in their abilities over time.
most cases, those who tries their best will always win over those with high IQ.[/quote]
