Molly Volunteers for Intelligence Testing


This morning my school was hosting a day of children intelligence testing for one of my current courses. In this course we are learning and qualifying on giving intelligence tests to adults, children, and toddlers. One of the requirements to qualify is of course being able to test appropriate aged individuals for so many practice trials. For me it wasn't hard to find kids to test. However, some of the students do have a hard time due to not being from the area and not knowing anyone in the area. So that is why they host this day to bring kids to volunteer to be tested. They lure the kids into testing through many ways, they tell them they are helping people become doctors, they are going to have fun, and they are going to feed them pizza. Molly was simply sold on the idea of being able to take a test at Daddy's school.

My friend and classmate was assigned to Molly so I was comfortable sneaking up to the doorway and discreetly snapping some photos during her test. She worked very hard and had a great time.

The unfortunate side to this is that because we are not licensed Psychologists yet we are unable to actually formulate any complete results of the test. So that means we won't find out exactly how Molly did, but I am sure she did great!
