I took one as a kid, my parents had all of us tested. I was always told I was smart but they never told me the number. Just that "you can do anything you put your mind to". I literally didn't know I was taking an IQ test and have no memories of what it was like other than the person doing the test was a lady and she had me doing something with wooden blocks. This was all as a prerequisite to get into some gifted program. They lost my results for a bit so I didn't get in until second grade (USA) so it had to be some time in first grade or before. I won't spell out my life story here, so I'll stop there. Anyway yeah that was my experience with it.
Similar to mine! School psychologist with blocks, asking me about fluid ounces, and then about how similar or different things were (ended at time and space). Didn’t really feel like a test but I was in Grade 5.
My parents thought I was cognitively challenged so they had the test administered (I got an F in math in grade 4). Turns out I’m just ADHD.
