IQ Test For Children

Q: Is it possible to be able to correctly test a child of 3 years old IQ?

A: To accurately determine the IQ of individuals of any age group is still questionable. However, it can be a rough indication and there are signs that you can look out for. You may want to view the checklist that I prepared for possible signs of giftedness, which would relate to higher IQ.

There is also a possibility of a drop in IQ based on age, so it is hard to say for sure. This is especially so since researches have indicated that there is a possibility of IQ scores to vary as much as 20 points throughout a person's lifetime! What you may want to do is to look out for signs of ability and perhaps take a test when the child is older - a least able to read and write as most standardized test requires the ability to read.
