Do IQ tests really tell us anything?
reflections on IQ tests, gifted labels, and moving between school systems I was born in Montreal, but lived in Saudi Arabia between the ages of 4 and 10. There, I attended a British International school, where I was, at least to the best of my knowledge, a fairly average student. Terms like “giftedness” were simply not part of the vocabulary at that school. Every student had an individual education plan, and small class sizes meant that teachers were able to let us all work at our own paces and select assignments that really interested us.smarti6 min read
