Not sure that these articles are anything more than what most of us already know, but you can look at them at: scholastic
At least there is some recognition there about giftedness.

Of course, it offers that 170 score, as if tests given regularly today don't ceiling out before that...

*sigh*

It is nice that the series stresses that smart kids are people, too, and that they are not exclusively the stereotypical friendless nerds.

Yes, those numbers are just not right, and it's the same problem of "well, it's not a 180, so clearly he's not that smart." Never mind that the test doesn't go anywhere near 180.

It's pretty disappointing.
