Almost everyone has heard about IQ tests. In a lot of printed publications, focused on women in particular, you may find them. Or just google ‘IQ tests’ and you will get as many as you like. You simply fill in your answer to the tasks given in the test. Then you submit the test and before you can count to ten, you get your results – a two or three digit number. Neat and simple.
But to start from the beginning, what is an IQ test really? And what’s the number mean? IQ is the ‘Intelligence Quotient’, a measure of how smart you are compared to the whole population. It’s supposed to give you an idea of how well you’ll do at a certain profession or how well you’ll perform academically.
The basic concept of an IQ test is to estimate how well the brain solves problems in paper form. What is measures is the ability to solve written problems. Then your results are compared to other people. It’s one method commonly used to measure human intelligence.
IQ 100 is defined as the average of the whole population. If your score is higher than 100 you are more intelligent than average. A score below 100 tells that you are less intelligent than average.
