So, yes we did share scores I guess, but it was one of the main reasons for testing. Having been told most of my life that I was not very bright (and believing it), and then feeling like an imposter when I started getting good grades in the advanced classes, I wanted to spare my son some of that. I had a very bright sibling for comparison, as does he, and I guess I just hope to spare him some of the issues I had. (isn't that a recipe for disaster- reparenting yourself through your child?- yet sometimes it seems like the right thing to do)
I absolutely don't think it's a wrong thing to do to share scores with children at some point, I think you had very valid reasons and sounds like you explained it quite well. Sometimes I would imagine that it could be very comforting for a child to understand that there is nothing wrong with them when they think that something is. It can help reassure them and explain what is different about them.
I on the other wouldn't want to know my own IQ because I don't think it would be all that reassuring. I think I have a pretty healthy self esteem and I don't want to mess with it, LOL.
