    For real, like, honestly, if you walk up to a kid and slap them and then force them to take an IQ test, they could possibly test as mentally disabled even if they were in the genius range before you slapped them.

    Your mental state, your mood, your home life, how much sleep you got that night, your diet, all of those things can affect your performance on the actual test.

      I wish someone had told my father this when I was little. He might just have stopped hitting me and calling me stupid if someone other than me pointed it out.
