The Flynn effect refers to the increase in IQ scores over time due to improvements in education and other environmental factors. Therefore, using the most recently normed test available would be the best choice as it would account for this effect and provide the most accurate assessment of the child's current intelligence. Using an older test with outdated norms or a test designed for adults would not accurately reflect the child's current abilities. The Flynn Intelligence Test is not a commonly used or recognized test of intelligence.
