To be honest, I'm starting to think there's a lot more gestalt to IQ and potential than the tests can ever give us. I see a really vast range even in DD's magnet where the kids are all 130+. (Of course, I don't know anybody's individual score or their 2e issues--there seem to be quite a lot of 2e kids.)
It's worth pointing out at this point that the differences between all of the groups below are pretty much the same:
- MG (IQ 130) and PG (160)
- MG and normal (100)
- Normal and mild retardation (70)
Sprinkle in personality and environment differences along with cognitive differences, and you'd expect to see a wide range.
