Ah yes, the famously accurate IQ test for 5 year olds
- Yeesh, sorry for trying to make a post to the Positive News community.
  
  I think it’s a nice story. Not so much the Mensa stuff, but their parents seem to be attentive and have a good relationship with them. Not pushing them into things they don’t like and instead encouraging them in things they enjoy (like the video games).
  
  Usually these kids are abused more than anything
  
  Yeah you tried.
- actually the only valid use of an IQ test, tbh. The whole point of them originally was to identify which students needed additional help understanding the concepts being taught, and which were more advanced than their peers.
Einstein never took an IQ test.
