Something came to me last night. It's been a long time since I was in the gifted program in school. I have been IQ tested several times because my family moved frequently . I wa snot given group tests, I was tested by a psychologist. And also, if you want a laugh, it was suspected as a child (89) that I had OCD and this was at a time when the primary thought was that only males had OCD and, only those with high IQs. So, since I presented as a female (ha) they administered an IQ test to me before confirming my OCD diagnoses.
. But back to my own tests. I recall on group administered state testing I also did poorly on the nonverbal section, but frequently had the highest scores in the school aside from this marker. I remember the last school I went into the gifted program at, the teachers at the conference told my parents they suspected I had an undiagnosed learning disability, but since I compensated so well, they were ignoring it. I was given a range the last time I was formally tested, it was 135 to 150. Perhaps they gave my mother the exact number, they did not give it to me.
