>It is not likely that an IQ will change much over someone's lifetime.
 
That's not true; while that's the way the theory goes, it seems that
the younger the testee the more likely he is to get a higher score. My
IQ was tested at around 150 when I was in 1st grade and at 132 in
junior high...figure at that rate it should be about 76 now (applying
statistical formulae upon those two points, of course). I am inherently
distrustful of IQ tests in general and all the claims people make about
their stability and relevance to anything in particular.
