Testing IQ For Kids

Although the last thing that I want to do is to be controversial, something that you must take account of is that all parents want the best for their children. And part of the way that they express that is to constantly test their children's IQ.

This may not seem particularly controversial yet, but it becomes more so once you start examining what the true reasons are that they are doing this.

Is if to improve the child's IQ and their resultant increase or is it actually so that the parent can receive the subsequent result and go off to all of the friends and colleagues and gloat about how high their child's IQ is.

At present, you probably have your own point of view. However, let me just tell you my own thoughts because it may be slightly different from what you are thinking.

I actually see it as one and the same. Parents often express their own joy and pride through how well and intelligent their children seem to be. Obviously testing a child's IQ at every opportunity is probably not the way to go. However, on an occasional basis, it could perhaps be a healthy thing for the child as by taking tests, children actually become better at IQ tests.

Let me just present a quick exampe:

IQ Tests generally consist of different kinds of questions. By taking a free child's IQ test, a child will start to recognize different kinds of questions and therefore return at  a later date in order to be able to answer them properly.

In this way, a child's intelligence can actually be stimulated and their IQ test result can be increased to the point where they become much better at these tests and to the outside world become far more intelligent.

A child's intelligence though does cover much more than just how good at IQ tests they are and will be encouraged further by a solid and loving education.
