[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Again, it all depends on what you are preparing for. [b]Preparing for an IQ test is at best wrong.[/b]

[b]There is no benefit for an average child to be labeled genius. [/b]

Memorizing the answers to a test does not mean you know the material. It means you know the answer to the test. [b]Preparing for an IQ test may (or may not) increase the score, but it does not make you smarter.

Why is it wrong?

Who are you to decide about the risk-benefit for individuals.  Some of us are not interested in labels.

Preparing for an IQ test, or any task for that matter, if you have indeed prepared, does improve performance and make you smarter and more intelligent.  Just look around at those who work hard and prepare...significantly higher performance and success rates.  Open your eyes and ears.

An IQ test is not pass / fail.  It is a measure of ones ability -- not ones knowledge.

Fine.  Here is how you do it right.  Schedule a WISC.  The night before, break into the psychologists office, and obtain a copy of the WISC to be administered.  Write down down the answers on the kids hands.  Then you can have a genius.
