[quote=Anonymous]To those who have said that IQ/WISPI scores do not tend to fall for highly gifted kids, can you explain more? Are you talking about kids in the 130 range? Same questions for the poster who said that "backslide is more likely to happen if kids aren't challenged appropriately in the early years." And for the poster who said "Rare is the child who is highly gifted in every single subject area." I'm just learning that my 5 y.o. looks to be in the 130 range, and I haven't had time to get through the IQ chapter of Nurtureshock (if that even addresses these points). So I'm struggling to understand what this means for the next few years of school. (I don't know my own IQ, so I don't even know if his brain works much differently from mine.) But I can tell that he's several grades ahead in some areas, is also board in social studies, is a perfectionist who doesn't like to do things unless he can do them perfectly, but also struggles in a few areas.[/quote]
