Testing the lad: 3 different viewpoints

My niece visited us this past weekend along with her husband who came to play in our local Disc Golf tournament. She is studying for her Ph. D. in School Psychology. Part of her course work is doing some testing on 4 - 7 year olds so she asked if she could use our four year old as a test subject.

We said yes so she did some testing on him. From our point of view she tested him using the Batelle Developmental Inventory (BDI II), which gave us a chance to see how our boy is progressing developmentally for free. From her point of view she collected data for her thesis. From his point of view he did her a favor and helped her with her homework. I guess it all depends on how you look at things.
