I think I'm missing the joke. Why is this funny?
Maybe I'm missing something, but this sounds like what we say here all the time--that IQ is not really one number but a range. And the part about the profile seems very much in line with the "if it looks PG and sounds PG and acts PG (over time), it's probably PG"--or in this specific example, MG--philosophy that so many of us espouse.
What am I not getting?
Oh, well, the funny thing for me is that of course an IQ number
does signify a range. So the idea that knowing a LOG, and extrapolating from that a range of possible IQ scores, could be more helpful than knowing a single IQ score, and extrapolating from that a LOG, is just silly to me. And again it illustrates a sense of superiority that I don't believe is warranted.
Well nono5, you should have whispered to me where PTP was going...I totally missed the thinking that the online assessment might be more accurate than an individualized one. I just had a 6 hour car ride, with full unloading and car vacuuming in 100+ heat,
. I'm a little punchy.
But if I'd done that, I'd never have gotten to read your thoughts on testing accuracy, and I thought they were pretty interesting.
