One thing is that you can 'prepare' for IQ tests.
So the kid who is 'prepared' for the IQ test gets 130, 140, 150 and is gifted. The unprepared 'gifted' kid who gets 120 is a tad above normal.
they use these tests to make decisions about our kids education provision - some will be accelerated/challenged - the others will wallow mid-stream.
An old tutor used to say to us
"One thing IQ tests tell us about a person with certainty is that they're real good at doin' IQ tests"
