Yes, but the validity of the S-B IQ tests is pretty good. Which
means that if you take it once, then your score the next time is not going
to be too far off. (I don't have the actualy numbers here in front of me
and don't feel like breaking out my old psych books). The best IQ tests is
the Wexler. But it runs off of way different numbers. I believe 100 is two
standard deviations over the normal...instead of 140.
