I've communicated via email with our regional talent search at this point and spoken with someone at ACT who is in charge of the elementary student talent search. Our talent search region seems to be ambivalent about this survey as well and tells me that they shred and do not use the results.

The guy at ACT was a bit ruffled and said that the talent search regions were in charge of gathering IC and that, if this wasn't worked out, they would not be providing the Explore anymore for use in talent search.
