Dd12 can't recall but I expect that her more recent experiences with taking the SAT and ACT through talent search as well as the EXPLORE at school this year are fresher in her mind. As she told me, they couldn't give out those types of surveys during the SAT/ACT talent search testing b/c most of the kids in on those testings aren't talent search kids and it would be offensive and weird to ask only the talent search kids about intelligence while ignoring the high school students who are there as well.

I've probed dd10 a bit more as to what the survey entailed and she recalls four types of questions:

* her opinion about whether you can change your intelligence
* her opinion about which subjects she is better in (math vs. reading, for instance)
* what subjects she thinks her parents or teachers think she is best in
* what her class placement looks like for various subjects (pull-out, subject acceleration, etc.)

Of course, I'm not sure that her recall is perfect. She does think that the same type of survey was given last year when she took the EXPLORE, though.
