I recognize that the correlation between IQ and achievement test scores is imperfect. One reason I am asking is to see if it's likely that an individual IQ test would likely produce a score high enough (145-150) to qualify for the Davidson program.

He was 6.5 years old when he took the test. "To see what is in front of one's nose needs a constant struggle." - George Orwell
