Has there been IQ inflation or something? Even the most airheaded people I know claim their IQ is at least 120 .
IMO, anything below I40 is just bright and the child should not get differentiated instruction. Children of non-English speakers need to be the ones removed from the mainstream classes so that they can get better instruction and so that they don't pull down native speakers and make them appear gifted.
Oh my! Yes, IQ tests have changed and Dr. Ruf's estimates are based on WISC-IV and SB5. A 140 IQ is in the 99.9 percentile.
I have never asked my friends what their IQ scores are and not sure I would believe anyone who volunteers that info about themselves.
You should know that learning a language has nothing to do with intelligence.
