The Wechsler
Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V) has a standard FSIQ ceiling of 160 but offers an extended
FSIQ ceiling of 210, developed by Pearson in response to requests from the National Association for
Gifted Children (NAGC)
I have a bad feeling that this NAGC is a profoundly ghoulish organisation
Wait this guy did the WISC? That one is specifically for children and any halfway intelligent adult would do pretty well in it. As part of my ADHD diagnosis I had to do the adult counterpart, the WAIS (I know, yikes), and it had a lot of components that control for adult intelligence and education. Taking the children’s test to seem more intelligent than he is has to be one of the most cringe things I’ve ever heard.

Oh shit. I don’t think I even caught that. The more I learn about this guy the funnier his whole shtick becomes.
