Anyone Do IQ Tests or a Part of an IQ Society?

Being able to "train" on the IQ tests is part of why I never bothered with them. You're not showing how intelligent you are, just that you can pass a specific test. If I want to know that I can do that, all I need to do is look at my TESU transcripts.

Online IQ tests are not entirely reliable.  I had my son IQ tested when he was little. There was a whole section about fine motor skills that involved the psychologist observing him. It was 1/4 of the total score.

That's kind of sad. By that, I mean that there are plenty of intelligent children who have something like cerebral palsy and lack in fine motor skills as a result. Historically, these children have been labeled as "slow" or "stupid", even when their brains worked fine. I would hope that the modern IQ tests for children would adjust for that, but I am not confident that they would.
