In my public school system, in the suburbs of Philadelphia, admission to the gifted program was largely based on the results of IQ testing.
That was back in the 1980s and 1990s; not sure how things have changed.

We weren't treated as elite freaks or anything, were never told we were "better", and all in all I think they did it right.
