I have a fondness for precision in language) If you asked if they thought their child was in the top 3% you'd get a lower than appropriate response, because 3% seems far above the acceptable normal range of smart.
I love this! I would still answer no even though the tests say otherwise LOL There are a lot of gifties and smarties at DD's school, 25% test in to gifted (IQ 130+), many more I assume are very close, and there are about 5-6 I would guess to be 145+ or at least extremely motivated. DD merely looks to be in the top 10% of her peers, not 3%, a fact which keeps our pride to humble ratio in balance. I still secretly think that her IQ score was somehow inflated. smile

Now DS on the other hand...well...sigh....I'm not sure anything can balance his pride
