ABDUL-JALIL: GENIUS, CALLED “BOY WONDER!!”

ABDUL-JALIL: GENIUS, CALLED “BOY WONDER!!”

As an Elementary School, seven (7) year old Third (3rd) grader at the end of the school year, Jalil was administered the Standard Intelligence Quotient (IQ) test and scored 183 to certify him as GENIUS! As a Fourth (4th) grader he was placed in an experimental study group with the top 10 highest scoring students, whom were allowed to study at their own rate and had to fully complete each grade level and test out in the 70% percentile or greater to advance to the next grade level.

So from his Elementary School Fourth (4th) grade year until the completion of his Six (6th) grade year he studied with the same students, with the same teacher, in the same classroom for those three (3) years. During that time he completed the Fourth (4th) grade through Ninth (9th) grade years and tested out no less then 98% percentile for each year! He was to enter High School as a Sophomore even though he was only 11 year olds! His friends from those days still refer to him as “BOY WONDER!!“

There were many meetings with him, his parents, the Elementary School administration, the School District Administration and the District School Board to authorize his placement into High School. It was finally determined that it would ultimately be the decision of him and his parents. During a final meeting with his teacher and principal, he was asked by his mother and father if he would want to be in the same classroom with his older brother for three (3) years, to which he reacted “Oh NO!”.

He enrolled in Junior High School with his class and having already completed the three years of class work, he took electives and special independent study with classes in Chinese Mandarin, Advanced Spanish, Humanities, Advanced Math, Music, Advanced Writing, and was named the Publisher of the School Newspaper, had his own columns and crosswords puzzles!

He was then asked (required) to take the test again under strict surveillance and supervision in a private room with just him and 2 ETS test administrators! To EVERYONE’s chagrin, the results of the second supervised test revealed he scored HIGHER than the first test!
