Way over.
I know my number and some of my family members; I figured I had a feel for where she fit in that range - 145-155 by the S-B we were tested with in the 80s. This was supported by all the baby milestones, toy age ranges, etc. We have a close-knit group of friends that provide peers for us, and their kids are good peers for mine.
She was individually tested at school at the end of third grade - a truly awful year. By all accounts she loved the testing and had a great time. And scored a solid, even, remarkably well-rounded 130. Respectable, but not what I thought.
I'm still scratching my head. At activities for gifted kids, she consistently wows the group leaders with the depth and complexity of her ideas. I would not expect this reaction from the adults if she barely made the cutoff for the group! But are my expectations just those of a mama who likes her smart kid, or was the test (DAS-II) off? And does it matter, really? I guess I just hoped the number would tell me something true and useful, and I'm not sure this one did.
