[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 9th grade daughter took the Naglieri in school this year, we just received her scores and she received a 160 which is the highest score one can get.  This is NOT meant to be a humble brag or boastful post, but I have to say I am floored.  I've always known she is very smart, but I don't see her as being a genius.  Yet, a 160 does seem rather extraordinary to me.  What exactly does it say about a person who receives a score like this?  I'm wondering if I should be doing something to develop her abilities in STEM topics.  Her extracurriculars are all arts related, she has never done anything like programming, robotics, etc.  I guess I'm wondering where do we go from here?  Or is there any reason to go anywhere at all?

Congrats to your daughter. Mine also got 160 on Naglieri last year, when she was in 2nd grade and being tested for AAP. But we knew she is really smart, her WISC indicates IQ above 150. I liked WISC, it is expensive but very helpful in understanding what your child needs, what they may struggle with, etc.

My DD is also more of a reading / theater / humanities kid, but she also enjoy math and coding and is doing those things as extracurriculars (kid-driven, we don't push at all, if anything we want her to do less, haha).

My interpretation of such high scores is not to worry about school and intellectual aspects, because she will probably be more than fine. Instead we are now focusing on social one, being happy and healthy. [/quote]
