Wikipedia says it is administered in groups. I distinctly remember being in a room alone being tested with puzzles and reciting number sequences backwards.[/quote]
I had completely forgotten about this until just now. I also took this type of test in the early 90s. In my case they believed I was twice exceptional and I distinctly remember taking the test in a tiny room with a double mirror, only they didn’t tell me it was a double mirror, but I distinctly remember feeling like I was being watched from that side of the room.

Anyone else take it with a double mirror?[/quote]

Would “they” really have time to sit and watch each individual student take a test?[/quote]
I’m not sure what you’re implying. My parents took me, alone, to some building in our school district, to take the test. We met, alone, first with a man who spoke to my parents while I read magazines in a waiting area, then “they” (the man) moved me to the little room with the mirrored/glass wall to take the test.
