<p>I wouldn’t try to connect them. We know brilliant kids who did great. We know “regular smart” kids who did great. My eldest has been IQ tested and landed in the top percentile, skipped grades, all that. She did “well enough” on her SAT but nothing to jump up and down about and plenty of kids in her class outscored her by a lot! She’s not even going to retake because the ACT was a better test for her and shows her in the best light. Frankly though, I’d be happy if she could just pass a driver’s test.</p>
<p>Reality is, you don’t need to know your IQ. It can be helpful when you are advocating for a child’s education but you are an adult. You are done with schooling. Any success or failure you have will be based on the skills you’ve obtained and the effort and attitude you put in. I will say that I wouldn’t put too much stock in any test you can take online or in a book at Barnes and Noble. This doesn’t mean you aren’t gifted… just that true IQ’s come from psychologists and not cheap!</p>
