Interesting article! It seems a pity, though, that it (perhaps because of the way Gross likes to use the SB-LM) quotes "old" IQ numbers in its table - seems to me that the more people in schools etc. have those shown to them, the more likely they'll misinterpret "modern" IQ numbers they see coming from mainstream tests now. I sort of get the point of wanting to use a test with plenty of headroom, but I wish there were some sort of convention like quoting the numbers as 180LM instead of just 180.

Yes, I cringed when I saw that.
