[quote=Anonymous]Put it in context: There are different definition of intelligence. An IQ test is a “squishy” measure, even for whatever aspect of intelligence it is supposed to measure. It’s not like a math teat to measure whether you know 2+2 or a blood test to determine blood type. It’s based on correlation and statistics. There are going to be random variations based on the specific individual and test. A student’s score might vary based on many factors unrelated to the test - tired, hungry, stresses, hot/cold, etc. If there are different versions of the test, they should be functionally equivalent, but a student might score slightly higher on one than the other. If the the class had fully explored the relevant topics, I think it would be great for them to take an IQ test, but tell them not to discuss the results with their peers. [/quote]
