Curious how working memory factors into this. We recently had our kids tested for a bunch of things and although their IQ's were average their working memory was off the charts. We had never really heard of working memory and perhaps it's a new "thing" but it makes sense.

"The study also found that, as opposed to IQ, working memory is not linked to the parents' level of education or socio-economic background. This means all children regardless of background or environmental influence can have the same opportunities to fulfil potential if working memory is assessed and problems addressed where necessary."
