A 5 year old generally knows that you shouldnt intentionally try and hurt someone (assuming they've been raised correctly). But, if you were to give that 5 year old an adult based IQ test...what do you think it would show?
In cases like these, I would think it would be up to a psychologist to determine if a person could differentiate the difference between right and wrong.
The whole Idea behind IQ tests is that they relate directly to what would be the normal retained learning of the people taking it.
After reading your post,I suspect you would have significant problems with the adolescent test.
