So, which test did you take that gave a range, and resulted in you having a score three standard deviations above the mean?
To say I'm extremely skeptical of this claim is an understatement.
I didn't take a single test that gave a range, I took multiple tests and the scores were in that range.
I don't know which tests. The first had a written test, then had follow-up by an interview. This was back in junior high when my school district was instituting a gifted program, which required IQ of 130+. I believe there were two main tests at the time (Wechsler and...?), both with means of 100, one with SD of 15 and the other 16.
I was also a national merit semifinalist. IIRC that was upper half of a percentile on the PSAT. Interestingly I was high as a kite when the principal came to tell me about it.
Believe or not as you like.
