(22,374 posts)Her mentioning that the distribution of IQ is not a perfect bell curve. Some analyses show an unexpected dip in high IQ offset by an unexpected bump up in very high IQ.
It is believed this is an artificial error being generated by the tests and the administrators who will unconsciously interpret the tests to bump people slightly higher than their actual score. Apparently there is some subjected / interpretive input into the scoring which test administrators must be careful to handle according to the guidelines and not allow personal bias to influence it.
I found it ironic that the psychologist did not know her own IQ. Since she received training as a test administrator prior to taking the test she is now disqualified. Her inner knowledge of the test and scoring system could allow her to influence her score artificially.
