It sounds like you have loads of common sense. With my post I had WAIS in mind which if memory serves generally measures the third standard (plus) deviation at 145 (99.97%). General scales tend to produce bigger numbers with genius (gifted) at 150 (WAIS, 130?). At 161, I would assume your daughter is superiorly gifted (top 5% of gifted?). Had you tested her when she was say 5 or 6 years old you might have found her IQ even higher on tests. Overtime other people can catch-up, a bit to do with brain maturation and a bit to do with the Math involved in calculating IQs. An IQ of over 160 on a General Scale (140, WAIS) is truly exceptional.
Teachers (TER 70%?) can be a problem. What does one do if I child points that Plasma is a fourth state of matter, when the teacher is instructing Solids, Liquids and Gases?
