Has a broad interest, no observed social issues. He is good at math. Got 660 in SAT math, but I don't see him a future mathematician. He is more interested in music(want to be a composer) or geography, history(want to be a professor in a good college) than in math. Can anyone suggest a suitable IQ test? and where to take these tests?

Here's a good candidate: http://www.pearsonassessments.com/h...unity/Education/Products/NNAT2/nnat2.htm
