Of course (sorry for my bad spelling), i agree completely with you.
Its the same as with sollication-tests, of which i did a dozen 2 years ago. After a while you become really experienced in such tests, and its not a hard thing to make a fantastic result.
(thats probably the reason why i got this job: i became experienced in sollication-tests, lol)
If u would make the same IQ-test again, you would most certainly have a better score. Does this mean you are more intelligent than 10 mins before? Well, it means that you are more experienced. But does experience mean intelligence?
Hummmm, this sounds like an endless discussion.
