[QUOTE="EB67, post: 44147, member: 3750"] Also - high IQ tends to gallop in families. Siblings rarely vary more than 10 IQ points from each other. I have read this fact. Oddly Miles, Seb's 3 year old brother was given full psychiatric testing and a WISC-C and scored in the low-average range. But I think his low score may have been because the test was language based. My husband almost hit the test ceiling or so he claims. I have never been tested (that I know of) but at the risk of sounding self depracating, I do not suspect that Mensa is looking for me. Look back through your families, you and their father. Can you recognise any odd, gifted or simply 'different' members of the family? That's the scary part. The gene pool is quite muddy. My mother is a bi-polar (artist) with repeat suicide attempts and a personality disorder, My father is exceedingly intelligent yet self destructive. My maternal grandfather was a suicide. On my husbands side... his mother was also chronically depressed and suicidal, father was brilliant (literally a rocket scientist). My husband and I are reasonably sane though we grew up in extreme families. I live in fear of the crazy genes. [/QUOTE]
