IQs Corner tops in Google search

[Double click to enlarge image]

I did a Google search for "IQs Corner" and bingo---my blog came up first and was all over the first page of results. Thanks to all my readers for making this happen.

IQs Corner on the Wiki radar screen and under debate

Today I was flattered to learn that this humble blog (IQ's Corner) is a point of a spirited debate as a possible external reference link for the Intelligence page in Wikipedia. There is even a "request for comment on the inclusion of McGrew's blog" in the article discussion section.

I'm not going to make any comments regarding the various statements (pro or con), except to say that some of the commentators "get it"...that is, they understand what the primary purpose of the blog is, as stated in the header banner.

I take this current debate and request for comments as a compliment. It means that IQ's Corner is highly visible and is on the radar screen of serious scholars and others. It is obviously meeting some kind of need. I'm flattered and encouraged.

I want to thank all my regular readers for their support. I shall continue the blog "as is"...regardless of the Wiki debate.

PsychoEd Canada blog

I just discovered the relatively new PsychoEd Canada blog. I'm adding it to my blogroll and RSS feeds to monitor their posts for FYI'ing on IQ's Corner. According to the blog banner, the purpose of the blog is:

• Welcome to PsychoEd Canada a resource for psychoeducational assessment with a Canadian twist. The site is a work in progress and will include a online psychoed resources, editorial blogs, unique resources for psychoed consultants, special education teachers, and related professionals. Material will be censored of item content to maintain test security. Posts are for information purposes only. Editorial posts are the authors personal views and are not to be taken as expert clinical advice.
