[quote=Anonymous]I’m from NY and graduated high school in the mid 80s. I also was put in the inaugural G&T program in my school. I do not remember ever taking an IQ test where we had to talk to someone. I later saw my IQ score in my school records, so they did something. We did take a bunch of what I call “bubble tests”. I remember at various point seeing the names “Otis-Lennon”, “California Achievement Test “ and I think Stanford-Binet. Never heard of WISC until I had my own kids.  I remember liking the test we took every so often that had us doing patterns and sequences.

My IQ is usually scored in the high 130s. I have always been what I call “practically bright”. I am the standardized test queen - I have the kind of intelligence where I understand the logic of how to take those kinds of tests and how they’re structured.  I don’t feel smarter than other people, but I do realize over time that I don’t understand why people just don’t “get” certain things that to me seem practical and obvious. [/quote]
