Applications of IQ Testing
IQ testing has significant practical value in several settings. In educational and clinical environments, it helps identify children with learning or behavioral difficulties who may need extra support by determining if their challenges are related to an IQ score that deviates significantly from the average. In the legal system, IQ tests are used in court to assess whether a defendant has extenuating circumstances. Furthermore, individuals use IQ test results to apply for disability benefits from the Social Security Administration.
