HM has a gmail account. I'm cc'd on all correspondence she receives.

I just got this email yesterday evening:

Hi Chio,

Thanks for taking a Tickle test!

Here's the sign in information you need to view your saved results.

First off, I'm surprised the software I have on their PC doesn't block Tickle, but okay, so it didn't, must review that issue.

Anyway, she took Tickle's classic IQ test. Of COURSE, I logged in to see her results!

This number is based on a scientific formula that compares how many questions you answered correctly on the Classic IQ Test relative to others.

Your Intellectual Type is Word Warrior. This means you have exceptional verbal skills. You can easily make sense of complex issues and take an unusually creative approach to solving problems. Your strengths also make you a visionary. Even without trying you're able to come up with lots of new and creative ideas. And that's just a small part of what we know about you from your test results.

Whoa! HM is nine (almost 10). While I'm sure her IQ would measure higher on an appropriately administered test, I'm just surprised she had the patience to complete a tedious online IQ test – and then to do relatively well on top of that!

Finally seeing some payoff for that persistency trait that beleaguered us so much during her toddler tantrums.

I wonder what made her take an IQ test?? Will have to chat her up about this later (also make sure she's aware of problems with IQ as sole measure of intelligence, plus the fact that her results are bound to be inaccurate since the test was designed for adults.)
