I.Q. for U

http://www.funeducation.com/products/iqtest

Taking the test I was focused on choosing the correct answer so I suppose I that's the feeling I had. Taking an I.Q. test isn't as feeling inducing as the results are. I felt a bit of trepidation clicking on the results screen followed by both a feeling of relief and disappointment. I got an average score which is good, but I'm not a genius which is always a little disappointing for me at least. I.Q. tests are popular and even a bit fun because friends and family tend to do them at the same time in a sort of playful competition to see who can get the highest score, never mind the many stories of geniuses around the world making life changing discoveries. Everyone wants to be the next Einstein.

I did feel as though this test was accurate for my abilities.I scored perfect in the English section and got lower scores in the math. I am not very skilled when it comes to math and I have come to terms with that fact a long time ago. I also know that I am quite proficient at the English language, both written and spoken and I know to play to my strengths when choosing classes and career goals. That's not to say that while I am in school I won't take some ridiculously hard math and science classes for the fun of the challenge though!

For developing I.Q. tests for my own students. I would rely heavily on the education standards for my state. I would test my students on the expected level they should be at in a variety of ways and evaluate their over all knowledge off of several tests and not just one. Many students excel at writing, while others prefer to discuss what they know, and others still prefer to use a mixture of images and words to convey their acquisition of knowledge.
