When we moved as a teenager, the school insisted on retesting my IQ for entry into the gifted program...my IQ dropped 16 points on that test and disqualified me from the program. 1)I was old enough (15) to remember that test and the tester was horrible. I remember noticing at one point that she was timing me under the table. 2) I always performed in school like I was gifted...I performed better that 40 other "gifted" kids at my HS and went to college on a full academic scholarship +
So IQ scores can come out low on any given day, but theoretically not high, and IQ doesn't tell you everything.
