Val - I think you are saying what a lot us feel and IMHO you are NOT being rude at all. Frankly the difference between an IQ measure on one test as 138 or 139 (for instance) cannot really be distinguished from 140 or 141. Even the magic 130 mark is a rather arbitrary number. This board has always been good about understanding that different kids may need differentiation under various circumstances regardless of a certain score.
