If people haven't done IQ testing, I think a good proxy is meeting the cutoff to be a national merit scholar semifinalist. I think it's also the top 2 percent or less. So parents who feel bright and are wondering if they are gifted, were you?

Neither are currently considered gifted by MCPS.


Because they are not.

+1 that's just above average, and I'm not sure even that's really "advanced".


np wondering what prompted you to be so nasty


The comment made regarding the scores of the level of IQ is correct.

NP-No one was nasty apart from your comment. The statement is true and to the point. Just because you don’t like something, doesn’t deem it “nasty.”

For what reason would your kids need to have a FSIQ done?
