Hi
I don't hold a great deal of faith in IQ tests. They only test some attriutes of a high mental capacity in the young.
I remember doing the IQ test when I was in 4th class. It was used as a basis for selection to go to an "oportunity school". Its main criteria was speed in answering questions. I never saw any questions that I could not answer but I know I made some silly mistakes and could not write fast enough to finish it in the allotted time and as I was averse to going to another school I did not worry.
When I was at high school I never studied or did my homework and as a result usually performed badly in the exams. I got sent to the counseller and he wanted know what the problem was seeing as I had done so well in the apptitude test in year 4 (now year 5). When he told me I the results showed I would be a good journalist I decided he did not know what he was talking about as I hated writing.
