Great Links CFK! I had forgot about Report #7 after a quick check showed me that DS didn't qualify for extended scoring - (needed 2 18s or 19s, had one 19 and 3 17s) - opps.
Still on farther down on the page of the Hoagie's link one finds:
Given the much lower scores resulting from the newest generation of tests (WISC-IV, SB-5 and WJ-III cognitive), professionals who work with the gifted are suggesting a new set of scores and descriptive levels of giftedness, beginning at 120 to 125 for "moderately" gifted, and progressing to 142 to 145+ for "profoundly" gifted. But these levels are still under investigation.
I guess the answer is that there is no answer. There isn't even any agreement about what 'profoundly gifted' kids look like in real life. Many of the YSP kids are spending lots of their free time playing XBox360, while other folks wouldn't call a teen 'profoundly gifted' unless you could see some prodigious talent - in a 'non-computer game' area of life!
Love and More Love,
Grinity
