[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is a huge scam. IQ is more than just DNA. There can be things that happen in the womb that affect it. Even if your child has a high IQ, it doesn’t mean guaranteed success. These pages are filled with stories of high IQ kids who struggle in a multitude of ways. Your child’s cognitive functioning could be affected by illness, disability, accident, etc. And it definitely will be affected by personality and temperament. For example, my sibling and I have almost identical IQ scores and she was in gifted classes, earned better grades, went to a much more elite college, etc. It drove my mom crazy that I wasn’t an academic kid. And 2-3 points means absolutely nothing. If you tested a child 2 years apart, the score would likely fluctuate a few points. I doubt you could accurately guess who has an IQ of 138 vs 141 in a classroom or workplace. [/quote] https://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/21/science/21cnd-sibling.html The eldest children in families tend to develop higher I.Q.’s than their siblings, researchers are reporting today, in a large study that could settle more than a half-century of scientific debate about the relationship between I.Q. and birth order. The average difference in I.Q. was slight — three points higher in the eldest child than in the closest sibling — but significant, the researchers said. And they said the results made it clear that it was due to family dynamics, not to biological factors like prenatal environment. Three points on an I.Q. test may not sound like much. But experts say it can be a tipping point for some people — the difference between a high B average and a low A, for instance. That, in turn, can have a cumulative effect that could mean the difference between admission to an elite private liberal-arts college and a less exclusive public one. [/quote] This seems like a strong argument in favor of paying it to me. [/quote]
