Cassandra,
I think that the most important idea that you pointed out was honesty. I think that while taking intelligence tests it is hard to be honest and therefore the results can be false. I remember as a young student I would always second guess myself on what I thought was the right answer and what I thought I should put. Unfortunately, I believe that this thought process caused me to get many answers wrong. I think that it is important to encourage students at a young age to do their personal best no matter what they maybe.
