I wasn't suggesting more testing in my post - I was just using my kids' repeated test experience to illustrate that in some kids, the scores hold up (actually from what I've read they hold up for most kids), and in other kids the early scores might not represent their true IQ.

As bright as your dd is, chances are the schools she goes into are eventually going to test her again anyway (for selection for gifted programs). IQ tests can help you learn about areas of strength and weakness, but you'll also learn about those from just watching your dd navigate her way through learning and academics. Unless she ultimately struggles in some area you don't really need to worry about IQ tests for those reasons.

For now, just enjoy your sweet dd! Give her opportunities to learn, listen to her questions, help her follow her interests and passions, and let her have lots of fun!
