1 Introduction Intelligence is the ability to respond adaptively to new situa- tions, to think abstractly and to comprehend complex ideas. IQ is the abbreviation for Intelligence Quotient. The word quotient means the number of times that one number will divide into another. An intelligence test (IQ Test) is a stan- dardized test designed to measure human intelligence as distinct from attainments. The measured IQ of children is equal to mental age divid- ed by actual (chronological) age. For example, if a child of eight years of age obtains a score expected of a ten-year-old, the child will have a measured IQ of 125, by means of the fol- lowing calculation: Mental age × 100 = IQ Chronological age or 10 × 100 = 125 IQ 8 This method of calculating IQ does not apply to adults because beyond the age of 18 there is little or no improvement in mental development. Adults, therefore, have to be judged on an IQ test in which the average score is 100. The results are graded above and below this norm according to known test scores.

2 Test Your IQ The tests that have been compiled for this book have not been standardized, so an actual IQ assessment cannot be given. However, at the end of this Introduction there is a guide to assessing your performance in each test and also a cumulative guide for your overall performance on all ten tests. The tests are intended as valuable practice for readers who may have to take an IQ test in the future, and they will also help to increase your vocabulary and to develop your powers of calculation and logical reasoning. The questions are chal- lenging, and deliberately so, as this is the only way to boost your performance and increase your brainpower. The book consists of ten separate tests for you to attempt, each of 40 questions. Each test is of approximately the same degree of difficulty. A time limit of 90 minutes is allowed for each test. The correct answers are given at the end of the book, and you should award yourself one point for each cor- rect answer. Use the following tables to assess your performance: One test Score Rating 36–40 Exceptional 31–35 Excellent 25–30 Very good 19–24 Good 14–18 Average Ten tests Score Rating 351–400 Exceptional 301–350 Excellent 241–300 Very good 181–240 Good 140–180 Average
