My impression of the term "HG+" as used on this forum (it might even be exclusive to this forum) was to say it's 145+, by whatever other names it goes by. I am unaware of anyone using the term to indicate that it refers to those with a score less than 145. Indigo, can you find a post that suggests this?
The real question may be, George C, can you find a post which states that HG+ means 145? Stated another way, what informs your impression that HG+ means 145, and/or is synonymous with PG (as you stated in your
previous post)?
Hoagies webpage summarizes the approximate equivalent test scores. These are overall test scores, Full Scale IQs, not individual subtests nor GAIs. Various tests have different scores corresponding to 3SD+ from the norm, 99.9th percentile.
One ought not to conflate scores from different tests, as the levels of gifted (LOG) are distinct and represent progressively higher scores.
On Hoagies the
gifted ranges are described as:
1) Gifted (G) or Moderately Gifted (MG)
2) Highly Gifted (HG)
3) Exceptionally Gifted (EG)
4) Profoundly Gifted (PG)
<== defined by DITD: 3SD+, 99.9th percentile, minimum 145.HG is not synonymous with PG.
HG+ is not synonymous with PG.
HG+ would include those who are Highly Gifted, Exceptionally Gifted, and Profoundly Gifted.
