WISC-V is not there...

Yes, the Hoagies' IQ test score equivalency chart pre-dates the WISC-V.

At the bottom of the Hoagies' webpage, there is a feedback form. The feedback form also provides a contact e-mail address for the Hoagies' webmaster.

Using the communication method most convenient for you, feel free to contact Hoagies' to inquire whether information is available to possibly update that webpage to include the WISC-V in the equivalency chart.

Seems like a lot of confusion could be straightened out if they'd just use percentages among peers. Perhaps not all tests show a percentage?

Is this chart outdated in terms of the cut off values? I thought that the newer tests/revised tests gave lower scores compared to the older ones? I am thinking of this in context of/referring to Dr. Deb Ruf’s work on the 5 levels of gifted ness. Your thoughts?

Different tests have different ceilings.

While it is helpful to understand that there are different levels of gifted, and to know the names of the levels and how they relate to eachother, it may be counterproductive to overly focus on an IQ score (which is a snapshot at a particular point in time) or on a label... as being overly focused on either of these may come across as being elitist.

Focusing on a child's needs, and on meeting those needs, may be more productive.
