[quote=Anonymous] Personal health and comfort level during the test can change IQ results, but experts disagree as to how much and this probably varies with the individual. I was just reading about the famous M&M test given decades ago to low-income young children. They were tested first equally, with no incentive. Then the lowest performing group was re-tested and told they would get one M&M for each correct answer. Their score, which was in the low range, shot up to the average range, which was a very significant change. So if your child is usually prone to marked variations in performance, he could very well have have a better score in a better environment. If your child is usually a steady sort of person, less likely to be influenced by his environment, then the results are probably a bit more reliable. [/quote]
