[quote=Anonymous]Have two kids, one has an IQ of 150. The other I don't know, only had the older one tested to titrate out LD. Older one rocked HGC test, younger one bombed. Both kids straight A, both top reading/math groups. Younger one smart and normal, older one brilliant, quirky and often a pain in the ass. Younger one has a natural drive to exceed, older one not so much, everything is too easy. Between the two, I think the younger one will be more successful on her own, the older one needs constant monitoring and pushing. 95% of her HGC peers were the same way. What I am trying to say to you OP, is that the test measures IQ which in my opinion is important but not as important as motivation and the ability to pick up social cues. High IQ can be a hinderance. [/quote]
