IQ

Persons recording high scores on standardized IQ tests are generally those who find learning new things comparatively easy, sometimes trivially easy.

IQ tests also work on measuring how fast someone thinks and their memorization, something that is dependent on how natural it is, and how the individual's brain functions have developed. These things cannot be studied directly. Since some individuals can learn more quickly and easily, an IQ test is one way to determine how quickly and efficiently their brains work.

IQ tests also only test certain thinking processes associated with intelligence, and individuals have different mental strengths and weaknesses. A low score on an IQ test does not specifically mean you are "less intelligent". For instance, a person who is highly intelligent in a non-academic field, for instance interpersonal communications or automotive maintenance, may score poorly on an IQ test because the test is based solely on performance in traditional academic subjects.

Scores on an IQ test are comparative by nature; they do not test a subject's 'true intelligence', merely their performance on the given tasks in comparison to those of the same age group. Test scores can also be affected by simple things such as a lack of sleep, or having not eaten enough that morning. IQ tests also fail to assess creativity levels.

It should also be noted that IQ test scores can vary, depending on the exact test that is taken.

I'm assuming you're referring to the Standford-Binet Intelligence-Quotient test first used in the 1960s.

It is not generally considered by mainstream modern psychology as an accurate indicator of intelligence. In fact, that lack of a satisfactory definition of "intelligence" still bedevils the discipline. Modern thought on what constitutes "intelligence" (Gardner et al.) has impacted Pedagogy significantly.

To borrow a quote, "IQ is that which IQ tests measure." It is a somewhat touching, yet uninformed, artefact that suggests the precociousness of the young discipline of Psychology; that intelligence could be defined so narrowly and accurately gauged so easily as Standford-Binet put forth is ludicrous.

However, whatever one considers "intelligence," it would, more than likely bear some positive correlation with test IQ test scores.

The definition and quantification of "intelligence" shall elude science for quite some time to come.

IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient, originally designed to help detect and identify people having low "intelligence" and/or learning problems so they could get special assistance. Eventually extended and recalibrated for people having high "intelligence". However "intelligence" as measured by these tests has never been clearly defined and related to any aspect of normal everyday life functioning. The only thing IQ tests have been reliably proven to measure with any consistent accuracy is one's ability to score high on IQ tests. I believe this is simply because that is how the tests are calibrated when they are designed.

The above comment written by a person that when given an IQ test in grade school, the person giving the test had never seen a score that high and thought it must be a mistake. When retested with a different test I scored even higher. I was told never to tell anyone those scores! I have learned over the years to be very skeptical of IQ tests and scores.

Thats not that good, my IQ is 166 and I'm older than that child.

There are no accurate IQ tests available online. You can contact Mensa at the link below about getting a copy of their home test, which is as accurate as you can get without a professionally-administered test.

Note: the answerer is a Mensa member, but neither he nor Mensa makes any money on those tests. They are provided as a courtesy, and the charge covers only the cost of mailing and scoring.

How test IQ test!

To see if a particular test is relevant, and give the expected answers need to research more in-depth about it. In our case we have a test for calculating the IQ! This test we determine our level of thinking, visualization, memory, hence we have to understand that increased attention to achieve efficiency.

After what, we see relevant gave test!? That we would be something new that heis real but not an issue of money!? The first question, on our website are alsocited by those who left last this test, here you see complaints and opinions about this test! and after the second question we have results even on the first page, namely the degree certificate, which demonstrates that the test compositionwere involved in the competent people, who know work for testing. IQ-tests are divided into two parts: the verbal tasks (general information,vocabulary, and a series of numbers to memorize the arithmetic task, the job of finding the differences, etc.) and active tasks (finding parts of the figure, thelocation of the cardboard figures in the right order, decision puzzles, etc.).

Own tests to check the intelligence is largely dependent on how the researcher iscurrently the property of the individual.

With the help of intelligence tests are not determined by the natural differences between people, and the cash level of knowledge and skills established at the time of testing. There is no doubt that the level of mastery of them depends on the degree of training of individuals and of their natural features.

Today, in developed countries, the study of intelligence is held by nearly all the most important stages of life and human activity. Mandatory testing is the level ofintellectual development in children receiving schools and kindergartens, checkthe level of intellectual development during their training, and, of course, verywidely used in career counseling and physical fitness.

Getting more education is a highly accepted way, as are cultural experiences, reading lots of books, and trying new things.

Reading and writing are good ways and also use the internet to research topics that interest you or current issues.

Becoming a more intelligent person takes work, lots of it. The payoff is well worth the effort.

In order to become more intelligent one must increase the amount of information coming in. The information must come in through various reliable sources and address various subjects. Here are a few practical suggestions:

• It is helpful to become an expert on one subject and keep up with developments in that subject. Becoming extremely knowledgeable in one subject that interests you will boost your self-confidence. However, read not only what interests you but expand your scope to read about different issues and different topics. As you learn more factual information it will continue to grow.
• To keep your brain growing you must constantly expose it to new ideas and new skills. An inactive mind stops growing.
• Take learning trips and visit new places of historical interest, museums or nature preserves. Do things that make you think, ask questions and want to learn more.
• Most public libraries have college course type lecture series on many topics. "The Teaching Company" is a great source. Watch video lecture series presented by experts on various topics that you can borrow from the library.
• Explore both sides of any issue and find a few friends with whom you can discuss current issues and other topics that interest you. It is always great to have an older, more intelligent friend who can act as a mentor to guide your quest for improvement and discuss what you learn.
• If you start by doing some of the above you will find many other topics and issues that interest you. Your "to-do" list should never stop growing. Expose yourself to an abundance of different areas and you will find yourself becoming more and more intelligent and more and more self-confident.
