I've wondered how many of these people have really taken Stanford-Binet, etc., in the appropriate clinical conditions, and, even moreso, why they took it. Apparetly this is a huge number of people! In my experience Stanford-Binet isn't administered unless the subject is having emotional, educational, or psychological adaptation type problems. It isn't like a game booth at the carnival that people go do for fun; usually it's called for and administered by authorities when the subject is showing some signs of psycho-social trouble, like trouble in school, qualifying for mental disability help, etc.
