Not only that, but where there is an IQ test with questions, there's a Google with answers.

  The first hacking of the Stanford-Binet L-M IQ test (the one I took as a kid) documented in published reports was by Robert Sternberg, who discovered in childhood in the 1960s that the answers could be looked up in a library. Sternberg has gone on to become quite a well informed critic of IQ tests, although he still attempts to develop easy to administer mental tests to measure intelligence according to his triarchic theory of intelligence. A very notorious example of cheating on that same brand of IQ test came much later when a little boy's mother looked up the answers for the Stanford-Binet L-M before having her son tested at a supposed specialty center on highly gifted children. http://positivedisintegration.com/justinfu.pdf http://positivedisintegration.com/justinfu.pdf Somehow the psychologist who administered the test was unable to tell that the boy was simply providing answers he had previously learned from the test manual. That (and her articles on IQ testing) has shot her credibility with me.
