Best Answer

An IQ score gives a rough estimation on what level someone understands the world around them. 158 means that the ratio of there age compared to their academic age would be 158%
158/100=A/8
This means that a child with an IQ of 158 would understand things at the age of a 12.6 year old.
This does not mean that a child should be accelerated to sixth grade but gives a good idea about ease of learning and understanding.
Other tests can help identify specifics gifts that a child has such as creativity, spacial recognition, verbal adeptness and so forth.
Students that have 120 IQ or above can sometime receive extra instruction guided to their uniqueness.
