Interpretation of IQ testsHow are IQ tests analyzed and interpreted?By: Ana Fer Torres IQ tests are not extremely accurate because their results vary depending on the age of the person taking the test and several other factors in the environment. Score interpretation can also be subjective depending on who applies the test. Since test scores vary depending on the age, there are special tables that help evaluate the result based on the age of the test taker. These tables are generalized and the interpretation is usually not accurate. For example, in one test you can get a 160 score while in another one 148 is the result.
the Flynn Effect demonstrates that IQ test results have been increasing over the past few years, which is like saying that people are getting smarter now. The Flynn Effect describes the issue of new IQ scores changing over time. In the past couple of years, Results have steadily gained over time, with increases from 5 to 25 IQ points, generally.
At the end of this research, I found four main ideas about IQ tests and Human Intelligence that state that even though IQ tests are not very accurate, they are a good way of measuring your mental capability. Results could be subjective and vary because of many environmental factors that affect you since you were a small baby. In general, all sources agree that IQ test results are affected by heredity and the environment where that person lives.
CONCLUSIONIQ test results are analyzed based on special tables that have to be interpreted by an expert, as said on The Flynn Effect website. These tests determine your mental capacity but you should not be confident that only because of this you will be successful in life. They key to success will always be hard work, no matter what your IQ scores are.
