[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine is 138.  I was tested because I didn't speak at all before 4 years old.  Then I fell out of the moving car in the parking lot on the way to get the test.  But, it turns out that was unrelated.  I have since made of for my early lack of speech in spades.

My older brother who spoke for me has an IQ of 118.  I know because I found all his files in a box at my house.  I had great fun making fun of all of the comments in his report cards.  What a fun day![/quote]

How do they test a child who doesn’t speak?   [/quote]

They don’t.  The PP is lying.  The test for 4 year olds is the WPPSI and it is totally unreliable at its best.  More than half of it is “What is this?” or questions that require a verbal response.  The other half is puzzles or “point to ___” [/quote]

I was not lying.  But I have no idea how they did the testing.  I do remember the parking lot incident but not the rest of the testing experience.  (This was around 1980)  I don’t believe I was fully mute, but mostly.  I started reading extremely early.  Maybe I could do one word answers.  I do not know of taking another IQ test after that, but I was always in G&T classes.  Then in 7th grade, I got a perfect score on the SAT, which qualified me for CTY.  Then I spent all of college teaching standardized tests.  Patterns and games are my favorite; SAT math, LSAT and whatever they call the dental school exam (I forgot; it has been over 20 years) were my specialities.  I wasn’t particularly good on the ACT nor would I be for anything medical; recall isn’t a strength.  [/quote]
