<p>That’s the main reason why parents didn’t like it, and kids picked on us. We were the smartest of everyone, they held us to higher standards (one time these two boys were arguing and the principal came down and gave us a long speech about being an example for everyone). </p>
<p>It puts you through the ringer. I used to make Bs and Cs in the program an elementary school (that was so hardcore) but when the program continued in middle school it was so easy I made almost straight As (one stupid 89)</p>
<p>Now in HS I make straight As because I’m conditioned to do the work.</p>
<p>I took an IQ test in elementary school to get in to the 2nd level gifted program (to get in the first one you only needed all As for a year lulz). It was fun, I preferred it to regular class, because I like word puzzles and critical thinking games but I don’t see why it’s such a big deal. </p>
<p>And is it so bad to be “average”? Besides, I wouldn’t put too much stock in an online IQ test. If you want to feel “special” take a Mensa test, those things have almost 0 geometry.</p>
<p>I read on the first page that someone’s science teacher said that the average IQ was 120, which is dead wrong. The average is 100, and 120 is the beginning of the gifted range.</p>
<p>EDIT: According to SB tests, anyway, which is what most people think of when they think of an IQ test.</p>
<p>Francais- I said that. Well let me rephrase. </p>
<p>100= average
120= gifted
150= exceptionally gifted (the program minnesotaguy and I are talking about)
Close to 200= Einstein.</p>
<p>Less than 1% of the population has an IQ above 145. Just saying.</p>
<p>Where did you hear that from?^</p>
<p>Just curious.</p>
<p>^It’s a common curve, if I’m not mistaken. Some googling will show you what you’re looking for.</p>
<p>Chaosdog- I love using that</p>
