My son has some amazing drawings and writings... I like the idea of a test to screen kids who might not be seen as gifted, and I like the NNAT for that. I was a Visual spatial kid and kind of languished in school for awhile (middle school?).

But I also think that individual IQ tests should be done by the school. My goodness, the kids will be there forever, why not invest a bit in our kids and find out about them?

And portfolios... as a third option/ piece of the pie.

I think I can appeal if he didn't do well on the test. I'd like to not have to do that, but I will. I wonder how long it takes to hear back from them?

Thanks for all the replies! It helps to hear that other kids didn't do well on this test. smile
