[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it was an authentic one, it’s a perfectly engaging and appropriate activity for this class, and in line with what some psychologists do for a living. [b]I would have loved a free IQ test as a teen![/b] I had to pay thousands for my son’s neuropsych that included an IQ test.

Would you have loved it if you had scored below a 100?[/quote]

[b]Of course. I want to know as much about myself as possible. I have mild ADHD and dyscalculia, for instance. I'm also a scientist married to a doctor[/b], and have never felt any sort of shame that I have these characteristics. Biological, medical, psychological data are all in the realm of useful facts.

Refusing to know indicates some level of fear. There is no need to fear or be ashamed of the result. That's incredibly counterproductive. [/quote]

Don’t be thick.  Having mild adhd and dyscalculia is not the same as having an IQ below 100, which you invariably did not have if you are a scientist. 
How does it do a 16 year old any good to know that they have a low IQ, or even just lower than the other kids who were all sharing their scores after class? [/quote]
