Gotta mention the level of subjectiveness to the scoring of the #VCI subtests. #Psychologists and other testers who are not adequately trained in the needs and profiles of #ProfoundlyGifted kids may under or overscore those subtests.

In the end, #IQ is just a number that gives some interesting info about a person, but it should never form the basis of your entire identity. Trying to raise the bar that exceeds what a test can actually measure does nothing for a program, except pump up egos. /3

I've been part of the #DYS community for ~20yrs. It's entrance requirements exceed #Mensa. It never ceases to appall me how certain parents think the #IQ bar should be even higher. Yes, just like the opposite end of the spectrum of #intelligence, #ProfoundlyGifted kids have unique #education and #SEL needs, but there comes a point where we have to acknowledge the limitations of standardized testing. A higher number doesn't necessarily tell us what we think it does./1
