Mr. and Mrs. Matthews are excited because two-year-old Lauren just completed the Toddler Test of Academic Potential (TTAP), and the results indicate that her current IQ is over 150. They want to start a college savings fund right away to ensure Lauren will be able to attend one of the top private universities. You tell Mr. and Mrs. Matthews that they might want to wait because:

Wähle eine der folgenden:

  • before the age of 3 or 4, it is difficult to get an accurate assessment of intellectual ability

  • Lauren’s IQ will probably not stabilize until she is at least 14 or 15, so she will need to be tested again, once she is in high school

  • typically IQ scores from toddlerhood actually increase, so Lauren’s actual IQ is probably closer to 200

  • typically IQ scores from toddlerhood decrease by at least half, so Lauren’s actual IQ is probably closer to 75
