Date: January 21st, 2026 10:31 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, My kid took the gifted test in school - he apparently didn't qualify for the next round. We asked the teachers how he did (because he usually scores 98-99% in testing) - and they said he scored 119 - so he was borderline for being retested. The teacher asked if we wanted to proceed anyway. We explained that he didn't really prepare for the test and the teachers are like "it's not something you can study for!"
We proceed with the testing and we get him some practice tests online. I do maybe 20 minutes of work with him 3 times (because there's only like 40 practice problems available) - and I explain to him the "correct" patterns the test is looking for on the couple that he gets wrong.
We get his results back this time and his IQ now is allegedly 145. He apparently jumped from above average to "near genius" in an hour of prep work.
Am I wrong, or is it just truly stupid people who think you can tell if someone is a genius or not based on if they can recognize these 4 types of arbitrary patterns?
And then you have all these losers on Reddit complaining that they have a 135 IQ and only make $60,000 - just irate at the world that their ability to realize the pattern is "reversing AND turning left" hasn't translated to real world application. |

Date: January 21st, 2026 10:45 PM Author: cowgod For some reason, dumbs/teachers think you can’t study for these things. They’ve always said that. If you’re smart but your intuition sucks and you get a little coaching you can increase your score by a lot imo. But when dumbs take tests like the SAT the usually get the Same Score over and over again no matter what ime. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5824860&forum_id=2Elisa#49607804) |

Date: January 21st, 2026 10:47 PM Author: sensitive young 39 year old Gamer i mean what your kid took wasn't an "IQ test." it was a test to get into the gifted program at his school
it might seem like i'm being pedantic but i'm not. that test is not designed with the same goal as an "IQ test" |

Date: January 21st, 2026 10:55 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,...,:::,.....,:,...:.:.,:.::,. when I took it years ago it was literally the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, the one with all the blocks and geometric shapes. that's what most 'gifted' programs used.
but who knows what they are doing now, in the age of DEI. |

Date: January 21st, 2026 10:57 PM Author: sensitive young 39 year old Gamer yeah what you took as a kid was probably a legit iq test
the stuff that kids take these days is specifically designed to avoid actually measuring objective intelligence. everything about the education system is now designed to avoid objectively measuring children's intelligence. even "entry to gifted programs." it's libs' #1 mission in childhood education, which they completely control |

Date: January 21st, 2026 10:58 PM Author: .,.,...,..,.,.,:,,:,...,:::,.....,:,...:.:.,:.::,. yeah, I would not be at all surprised if this is true (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5824860&forum_id=2Elisa#49607825) |

That's not unreasonable IMO |
