I had to take an IQ test as part of my adhd diagnosis. I was asked about sherlock holmes, I have never read sherlock holmes, I haven't seen the series, and I mentioned that when the test administrator asked me questions related to it.
- ahallock 7y agoThat doesn't sound like a valid IQ test to be honest.
- xyzzyz 7y agoNone of the popular high quality IQ tests (WAIS, WISC, Stanford-Binet, Raven’s, ASVAB) asks about Sherlock Holmes.
- erentz 7y agoAre you sure that question was related to IQ specifically? I suspect it wasn’t. Neuropsychological assessments usually administered to diagnose ADHD include a lot of things that aren’t related to IQ and many things that are just there to guide the person administering the test on the subjects capabilities in ways that don’t show up in results but to influence what further tests they’ll administer.
