I'm not sure about the number of points for being kind to ... Is it really that difficult being kind to me:(

Perhaps you should take some points off being kind to and add them to "tolerating Bow":)


Seriously, on the subject of IQs, I've met some very intelligent people who, because of lack of education, (not being able to read for example, which clearly puts them right out of the running IQ test wise but doesn't make them stupid) just wouldn't have a hope of getting through the tests and therefore would score low - so many of the questions are dependent on a certain amount of knowledge (whether mathematical or linguistic). I don't think many people get a false high score but I think there are plenty of false low scores for people who are more intelligent than the tests necessarily allow them to show.
