(115 posts)For any testing of IQ it must be preformed by a licensed psychologist trained to use standard IQ tests. Not sure how you used tjis tool but unless you are a qualified psychologist in intelligence IQ testing any results you seem to think you have are not valid nor are they indicative of a child's IQ level. If they are in your class and not receiving any type of services for intellectual disability then the children in your class are average intelligence with msybe few at low or borderline. Have any children in your class been tested by a psychologist to determine IQ level. If not the tool you have was probably to give you and overview of intelligence and IQ. Not to diagnose the children in your class. I worked in developmental disabilities for 30 years. I could walk into a classroom and pick which children I thought needed to be tested to see if their IQ was borderline or what is also called low. I couldn't say anything other than they seemed to be having learning problems. I would then refer them to the professional who was trained to test their IQ which would either confirm my opinion or indicate that low IQ wasn't the reason for their poor school performance. And no this isn't silly. Im sorry for you that the tool you used gave you the impression that you understood IQ better than you do.
