I think a child should be told his precise IQ score when he has a sufficiently good knowledge of statistics to understand what the number means.
LOL - this is a great answer. And I totally agree. I like Dottie's discussion too. I just talked to someone yesterday who has a Ruf tested child and Ruf said the final scores for her child were extremely low because the child played mind games and shut down during testing. Anytime you are talking about a young child's scores, you may not have the full picture for so many reasons.
Someday I'll hand my kids ALL the test data I have on them when I don't think they'll feel defined by it. The IQ scores especially are 1 number on 1 day and I think it's easy to lay quite a bit of significance into something that could be different with another tester, a better breakfast, a different mood etc.
