[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DS asked and it's a moot point since I don't actually know. Apparently, a friend told DS what his IQ was and now DS is curious about the concept and his score. I don't see the point of knowing. I explained that either he'd feel bad or the other kid would feel bad. He thought that was a valid concern but I have a feeling it will come up again. How would you handle the situation?[/quote]

You basically told him that people should feel bad if their IQ isn't as high as someone else's.  Do you think that's true?  If so, please don't hang out with my kid?[/quote]

Does your kid feel bad if he gets a 75% on a test but his 3 closest friends all got 95%?  Does your kid feel bad if his two best buddies get 5 minute miles and he gets a 7 minute mile?

Yes, I know that the above examples are not quite the exact same thing as an IQ test.  But, duh, of course we would all prefer to be the one with the 95% on the test, or the one with the faster mile time or the one with the higher IQ.
