[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did they teach them about the test tasks, how the sub scores are calculated, and what the aggregate scores mean?  [/quote]

I suppose all of that was taught, I don’t see how it could be an official IQ since the kids scored it themselves, but [b]I fail to see what good it gives to let 16-17 years olds know what their IQ is. [/b][/quote]

Seriously?

Wow. I'll never understand the type that deliberately avoids self-knowledge. My kid had his first full neuropsych at 10. It took 8 hours over 2 days. We explained exactly what was going on, and he read his report with us. It brought great relief to him, since he expressed he was different starting at 4 years old. He found out that he was twice exceptional -[b] high IQ with learning disabilities[/b] - and all of a sudden, his life made a lot more sense to him.

It's very important to respect children and trust their intelligence and judgement, OP, and give them the tools to know themselves so they can grow and self-advocate. Your 16-17 year old will go to college soon, she's old enough to drive, she'll live without you. Surely she can know, ballpark, what her IQ is.[/quote]

Your son got a high IQ.  You really can’t see how it would be harmful for a 16 year old to get a score that tells them that they are not suited for any job beyond general clerical? [/quote]

And they are 16, and have no idea otherwise?   Never been graded, never wrote a standardized test?[/quote]
