[quote=Anonymous]My IQ was 145. I know IQs are not supposed to change, but mine has declined somewhat is adulthood. It is my understanding that this IQ is highly gifted, but not profoundly gifted. I was tested several time about age 7. I was bored in both private and public school, but fully challenged when I went to Reed College at age 16. I am very familiar with Sidwell US and I know I would have fully challenged there, because the classes are open ended, and there is a lot of room for the top students to widen their inquiries. If your child's IQ is above 150 then you will truly need to look beyond local public and private schools, to special programs that cater to that very specific population. Your main challenge will be encouraging social development to remain on age level, while providing opportunities for academic stimulation. Based on my own experince, I would say 16 is the minimum age for college. Prior to that, it is best to keep a child at home and augment. [/quote]
