Hi Sondra...
-> I remember being given one of those stupid IQ tests when I was a
-> child, about seven. And I not only spoke English quite well at the
-> time; I also read it fluently. I still did quite poorly on the test;
-> ...I even remember some of the questions: things about bathtubs and
-> doilies and other stuff.  I had never bathed in a bathtub at that
-> point, or used an indoor toilet; and I certainly had never seen
-> doilies.
I once wrote a British intelligence test which had a pictorial section
where the question was 'a [picture 1] is to a [picture 2] as a [picture
3] is to a [picture 4].'  The pictures seemed to be of small household
tools (which I'd never seen before).  I just guessed at the answers and
wondered why the English were so weird as to have these strange
implements as everyday objects in their lives.  :)
