my son scored high average on his wppsi iii test. He seems much brighter than that to me. The psychologist was wonderful and very familiar with gifted children. I didn't think he was going to score extremely high, but I didn't expect him to test not even in the gifted category. I have not worked with him specifically in ways to take a test. We just read a lot of books. I'm not familiar with gifted children and their needs, but he really seems eager to question his environment, when they learn anything at his little church preschool, he likes to come home and explore it and ask good questions about things. Would it be prudent for me to have him tested next year after he has learned that tests are important or more familiar with taking a tests? I have no idea about any of this, but I need some help. The basic requirment for the school we want into is just an iq score of 125. Can you build up your child's iq by working with him or is it just innate whether you work with them or not?
