But his list is also very doubtful. It is based upon Dr. Jason Betts' research and self-reported. I checked his list on his website. I know for sure one person's name is not there though his IQ number is higher than many in the list ... ahahaha... my son! And also, the test we took is WISC IV, which peaks at 160, so how accurate is that compared to his scale that goes all the way to almost 200?

I am quite sure there are thousands who are smarter than my son or those on his list, just that they did not take IQ tests, know about IQ test much less send them to Dr Betts. I am also sure many Chinese, Indians, Greeks, Jews, Thais, Burmese, Aborigines and Tribal people did not send in their reports as well not knowing this even exists! Those in the mountain tribes are the brightest in my opinion, much smarter than us, the 'modern' people.

This is going to sound so funny. I am trying to get my son to be a bit more interested in girls. He is only interested in his friends and going out with them and lack interaction with girls! He found girls cumbersome and picky, and tend to hang out those who are so unglam (huh?) He is already 18 and still no girlfriend, but is eligible.... he is a graduate already leh... officially can find girlfriend and go and work .... after NS... ahahaha....

Hi, Jedamum, being in a All boy school, doesn't mean no interaction with girls, in fact, they have so many chances, co-projects, join-celebration, charity drive, tuition class..., you name it, worse is introduced by friends, :lightrod: I just found out recently... no wonder he started to ask for hair gel and pimple cream early this year.

Me too! Just that mine is 12 and I did his facial last night! I make him scrub his hair 100 times every time he washes so that the forehead will have less pimples. He said he will not do it 100 times, but 200 times because someone called him mooncrater yesterday!
