Max

So... Josh and I have decided to have Max tested.  He's our 5-year-old son.  We've got some issues with schooling (we homeschool).  We really feel that he is above average, and yes, I realize all parents think that about their children.  We'd like to know his learning style so as to teach him in the most effective way, but we also want to know his IQ.  It's not like we plan on going around telling everyone what his numbers are once we find out, but we feel like it will help us understand him better.  Is it terrible to want to know how brilliant your child is?
