bell curve for children's iq - 10 to 12?

that wasn't really a question . . . \n\nBut I'll take a stab at it. IQ is normalized periodically around a mean between 100 and 110 and a standard deviation of about 15 (in the USA) and 24 (in Europe).

Leaving philosophy out of this and just looking at the practical:\nThe very concept of the bell curve depends upon a very large number of measurements.  No class, no school, has enough students to fit the model.\nIn addition, the bell curve is based upon an unsorted group of measurements.  Students and grades are not unsorted.  For example, a college class only contain the members of the top say, 60 percent of the high school students.  Graduate students perhaps come from the top half of all college students.  In graduate school a C is as good (or bad) as failing.\nGrading is always subjective.  Statistical analysis of the grades in any one class compared to other classes of students can help the instructor make a more meaningful grading assignment, but should never be used as a “Cut into Stone” means for grading.

I dunno, apparently like 120 and up is pretty cool. Just remember that IQ tests examine a very special set of skills. They have no bearing on your rhthym, your style, your potential as a human being, or whether you're nice person.

Umm, you mean more then 100 points?  The IQ test is ranked by points, up to 200.

I don't think there is one answer for all those age groups.  The ratio would be different for 3 year olds than for 12 year olds.  I say that from my background as classroom teacher (all grades from K to 10 over 32 years) and special education teacher.\n\nIn my teaching career I found that if class numbers were 20 or less, the learning situation was much better than in bigger classes.  When I taught high school, classes of 25 were not as difficult as classes of 25 younger students.  With numbers less than 20 after about third grade I sometimes found there was not enough interaction and variety in the class.     \n\nAs a special education teacher I found that 1 on 1 was rarely if ever the best scenario - too intense and too much pressure on the child.  None of us could cope with being taught 1 - 1 all day.  For teaching of specific skills in special education I preferred groups of about 6 or 8.\n\nI did not ever teach children as young as 3 (other than my own children), but I would guess a ratio of no more than 10 or 12 to 1 would be workable.  For kindergarten I would recommend no more than 15 - 1.\n\nThose are my thoughts on it.  I hope this helps.

There is no "highest" number.  It is defined by the average, which is scored at 100.  It is measured by standard deviation and presented as a bell curve.\n\nP.S. Looks like llizzzie cut and pasted her entire essay here. Got an axe to grind instead of answering the question?

Dang mom your daughter is smart!! Yes, that is an excellent IQ for an adult!! Einstein was considered to "only" have an IQ of about 160. So your daughter can be the next Einstein. To know more about IQ's check out this website!

hard to say, there are a variety of IQ tests out there.  What were the ranges for that test?  you should be able to find out that info.

i used to work in neuropsychology and IQ was one of the domains that we tested.  i would imagine that many universities would have a department that does that as well... maybe career counseling or student advisor.  last i heard, WAIS-III (Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale) was the standard and most accurate.  unless you are under 18, then it is the WISC-III (Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children).

Enter the statistics using this website. See for yourself. It's in about.com--look under pediatrics. Good luck!\n\nhttp://pediatrics.about.com/cs/usefultools/l/bl_kids_centils.htm

order the data: 7,9,9,11,12,13,13,13,15,19\n\nfind the Median (middle point, as there are 10 data points it's the average of the 5th and 6th): 12.5\nLower Quartile: 9 (25th percentile, median of lower half, i.e. here 3rd observation)\nUpper Quartile: 13 (75th percentile, median of upper half, i.e. here 8th observation)\nmin. observation: 7\nmax observation: 19\n\nso it's:\n\n    12.5\n9          13\n7          19

I am a developmental psychologist- which means I evaluate children for a living.  \n\nYou have options regarding evaluators for your child.  If he/she is having academic problems, the school psychologist at the school he/she attends can assess his/her cognitive functioning.  Otherwise, look for a licensed psychologist who has experience evaluating children.  At your child's age, the evaluator should use either the Wechsler Preschool and Primary Scale of Intelligence-Third Edition (my preference) or the Stanford-Binet Scale of Intelligence-Fourth Edition.  There are other measures, but these are the two best, most empirically-sound ones.\n\nPlease remember that testing a child is invasive, and should not be undertaken unless there is a significant need to do so.\n\nGood luck!
