What is an IQ test?  Where can you take this IQ test?  Who administers and grades this IQ test?  How can anyone study or prep for this IQ test?  I am confused since I never took an IQ test but I have taken the required prerequisites such as SSAT, ACT, SAT, MCAT, GRE, LSAT, GMAT just to name a few during my formal educational phase.  Are any of these tests IQ tests?  What is this special test creature you call IQ test?[/quote]

An IQ test is mostly used in cases when a [b]problem [/b]is perceived with an individual - uneven mental growth, academic academic performance, etc.  It is not a test score for braggart parents to feed their ego in context of their child's academic setting.  It is certainly not needed to assess High Academic Achievers unlike many here want it to.  Academically high achievers have great potential to and most go onto pursue successful careers, get into lucrative professions, become entrepreneurs, and turn into m/billionaires, without ever having taken an IQ test.  They do not care about IQ scores, their parents care least about IQ scores, and an IQ test is simply inapplicable in their situation.

But High Achievers are forced to take both achievement tests like SAT, GRE, etc as well as ability tests like CoGAT, NNAT, etc., to meet an entry criteria into an educational institution.  High Achiever can and are expected to use all resources within their reach to prepare and perform well in these entrance tests.  Some people have an opinion that ability tests should not be used as entrance criteria as it is meant to be used as an IQ test, and even if they do test takers should not prepare in advance, as preparation boosts scores.  But educational institutions simply ignore that opinion and so do the High Achievers.
