[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here.  This particular psychologist has a policy of never redacting information. I wish I had asked questions about redacting information for various audiences (medical, school, etc), but here we are.  
It sounds like from reading your posts that we only need to worry about retesting the same IQ test if it is done within 12 months?  In that case, I will not worry about it.  The new test will probably happen around 14 months.  If someone could confirm this I would appreciate it. [/quote]

I can’t remember the length of time between testing but if you are trying to keep the previous round of testing secret, it won’t work. Kids often say something that is a giveaway that the tasks are familiar. This will lead the tester to wonder why you didn’t disclose previous results. I would instead disclose the previous report and explain why you have concerns about the validity of the results. I did this with my son and sure enough he tested much higher the 2nd time. It didn’t bias the tester in the least. [/quote]
