How do psychologists account for the variable of not being cooperative in testing? Because teens may not take an intellegeince test seriously and not do as well. When I was 16, one of the tests I did was a test where you write short sentences to complete phrases(e.g. Boys are... , Mothers... , At bedtime... , The best time...). For some reason, I just filled in tautologies and scored low average(e.g. At bedtime I go to sleep, when I was younger, I was a child). Maybe I took it to literally? Or maybe I just didn't want to do it, so decided to just put down basic factual stuff. What intrigues me is that doing such a simplistic job of it still got me low average. Or maybe I was just tired or there was a time limit?
