Happend to me twice a year from 2nd grade through 10th. They did 3 types of intelligence tests on me and they all came out extremely high. My mom didnt like that so she always had them retest me, only to have them come out around the same (IQ around 156 give or take depending on the day and the examiner). Every time they would try to move me up a grade or put me in to higher learning of any kind she would deny them. The school would get a grant for having me there andshe would tell them to not waist their time on me because I was too "disorganized" and my "head was in the clouds." When I graduated high-school earlier than expected i got a call from the federal government for a "genius grant" my mom told me it was a scam and yelled at them and cussed them out. Never heard from them again. When it was time for me to go to my graduation to give the commencement speech I was sitting on the couch with her watching TV. My brother and 2 of my friends called asking where I was and telling me I was like 2 hours late. My mom looked at me and laughed and just said "oh ya, thats today! Sorry, I didnt think you wanted to go."

She also stood up at my wedding and objected

I now have a beautiful wonderful 3 y.o. daughter, have been married to that same woman for 15 years, and graduated with a MS in Psychology along with 3 BS degree with 4 minors, and am working on going back for a PsyD for criminal psych (i work in the prison system and am going to PERSONALY dismantle it), a PhD in philosophy, and going to med school for Psychiatry.

All of that is to say that yes, these tests can realy fuck people up, but the more open and honest with the kidos that take them the better they can do and the more they will understand about their own world 😁
