There is also: high enough that when the test was added up, the scoring computer blew a fuse and cried for mercy!
Which is a little colorful, but once you enter the world of extended scoring - that's what I viusalize as happening.
lol, I like that one. I do feel like saying something like that when DS gets mad at himself and says "I am studid." Or when he happens to lose a game and considers himself stupid. I feel like explaining to him just how smart he is, but it isn't the time or place. Instead I do my counseling stuff with and talk about his feelings. : )
And Dottie, I have heard similar stories of children "off the charts." I often wonder what charts they are referring to. I have a family member (that shall remain unnamed) that insists that his son is just as bright as my DS6 and that they did testing with him and he was told that he can do whatever job he wants to do in the future. I have never told him any details about my son, because he is one of those who loves to compare. Plus he likes to put down acceleration and all that and tell me his son is just fine in regular classes and how harmful it is to grade skip (he is also one of those who has lots of opinions and no real knowledge to back it up). I won't go into details but I would be shocked if his son fell anywhere near the gifted range. Although even ND people (such as myself) can do lots of things in life if they are dedicated and hard workers, but to tell me that he is the same is my son is ridiculous. So I do hesitate to say "off the charts" when referring to my son and when I hear others say it I am a little apprehensive at first.
