As a non-expert, I would probably say that a high IQ does indicate giftedness, but a lower IQ (i.e. below the gifted range) does not exclude giftedness.
I also question what is meant by "IQ". Is IQ based on FSIQ, GAI or one index score? I could argue that each of these indicates "IQ".
And what about the fact that some people do better on some IQ tests than other? This means (to me) that IQ tests are open to interpretation. Perhaps there is a better IQ test around the corner.
So, I would keep an open mind when looking at IQ scores.
Totally agree.
