lltstth-deactivated20140816 asked: I'm curious about your ex-gifted posts, about how and in what context the values were measured. One thing would be if you made 85 points in 1995. Another thing is if you make 85 now, when your attention is naturally and completely dispersed to a point in which the only people who can maintain such level of abstract thinking have to distance themselves from media and certain social networks. I'm not saying it can't happen- it can, but I believe some ## are less accurate than others.

I made gifted scores in 1986, high but not gifted scores in 1995, and 85 in 2002 or 2003.  The scores are as valid or as invalid as any IQ test is, and I don’t like it when people question the validity of only certain of the tests, as if they can only believe the numbers when it comes out to what they’d expect.
