If you decide to test your IQ yourself, be mindful when choosing an IQ test. Numerous online resources offer a wide selection of different IQ tests, but most of them do not have a reliable methodology and show inflated results in order to attract the target audience to the resource. Choose tests from well-known authors whose reliability has been statistically proven. Among them are tests for determining IQ by Eysenck, Wechsler, Amthauer, Cattell and Raven's progressive matrices.

IQ tests developed by Hans Eysenck are the most popular among psychodiagnosticians. Eysenck created eight versions of IQ tests for different target groups in the age range of 18-50 years. The first five Eysenck tests are called general and allow you to find out general level intellectual development. Eysenck's three specialized IQ tests are aimed at deeper testing and assessment of mathematical, verbal and visual-spatial abilities.

If you are under 18 years old, you can test your IQ using David Wechsler's WISC test for the appropriate age group. Wechsler tests assess intelligence quotient using eleven subtests, distributed on two scales - verbal and nonverbal. In the West, the Wechsler method has become widespread due to its reliability. Wexler IQ tests are routinely taken by school and higher education students. educational institutions, job applicants and children preschool age. The Wechsler test for the age group from 16 to 64 years old, called the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS), has also been adapted into Russian.

In HR departments large corporations When assessing personnel, the IST (Intelligence Structure Test) is used. This is a multilevel IQ test developed by German psychologist Rudolf Amthauer. IST allows you to create a detailed profile of the test subject's intelligence according to several complementary criteria. If you are over 18 years old and decide to test your IQ not just out of curiosity, choose IST, it guarantees high validity of the results.

IQ test statistics are based on a normal distribution. The average value of the coefficient is taken to be 100. This indicator is considered the norm, the standard. A preschool child and an academy graduate may have an IQ of 100. This means that their mental age corresponds to their chronological age in a particular age group. IQ scores greater than 100 indicate that your cognitive abilities are above the average for your age group. Values ​​greater than 120 on the Eysenck and Wechsler scales are considered an indicator of giftedness, and values ​​above 140 are considered genius.

Pass accurate test on IQ and find out your intellectual capabilities.
IQ, or intellectual quotient, is a program that reflects the level of mental development of a person. For the first time, the task of determining this parameter, which was quite abstract at that time, was set before the Frenchman Binet at the end of the century before last, but this assessment form reached its peak of popularity on another continent, in the USA. The IQ test, first of all, was carried out in the army, then the two million contingent of the barracks began to be replenished with applicants and potential employees. The teaching staff and employers also wanted to know who they would have to train and with whom to go to the top of the business.

However, not all tests created by psychologists objectively reflected the actual state of affairs. For example, the popular Eysenck questionnaire was criticized by scientists for a number of gross errors in the questions and construction of logical chains of answers to them. Nevertheless, the IQ test remains in demand and is often used in various areas of human activity.

Interpreting IQ test results

The ubiquitous statistics collected by research indicate that the lower limit of an IQ test - 50 points - may indicate a person's mental retardation. The most common result is 85-115 points, up to 125 is scored by those whose mental capabilities are above the average.

Intelligence over 135 points is considered high, but anything above this level indicates signs of genius of the subject. For example, the results of the IQ test for Hollywood stars are amazing: James Woods with 180 points eclipsed Tarantino with his 160. The outsiders were Paris Hilton with 70 points and Sylvester Stallone with... 54. For comparison, Obama’s IQ is 120 points, and V.V. Putin is ahead of him by 14 points. What place will you take in this company?

An IQ test can be used for many reasons. It allows you to determine your level of ability to learn, understand, form concepts, use information, apply logic and reason, in comparison with the population. It speaks volumes and can affect characters that are not the norm in society, whether they are interpersonal, such as isolation, rejection and withdrawal, or intellectual, such as ease or difficulty in performing intellectual activities. On the other hand, it can also explain the successes achieved by individuals in a simpler way than other people.

The effectiveness of this test

The IQ test we offer was developed by a research group of specialists in the field of psychology. It is used worldwide by millions of users and new ones are added every day. Statistical data established on the basis of the overall results make it possible to verify its reliability in relation to IQ scales represented by the Gaussian curve.

Super gifted

People with very high levels IQs above average (>130), also called “super-talented,” tend to have more intellectual potential than others. The most well-known characteristics of the super-gifted are:

• Curiosity and thirst for knowledge: They ask a lot of questions and are able to acquire knowledge on their own.

Intelligence level is a sensitive parameter. People tend to consider themselves smarter than others, and yet they want to test their level of intelligence to make sure and be rightfully proud. On the other hand, there is always a risk that the IQ test will show a less than pleasant result. How to be? How to check your IQ without harming your self-esteem? Try to do this anonymously so you don't have to tell anyone your IQ test result. The Internet allows you to check your iq online without registration. But be careful and do not agree to pay for verification: look for free tests on IQ, of which there are also enough.

Modern technologies have made the work of psychologists, teachers, and personnel service workers much easier, who use intelligence tests in their professional activity. Experts use methods to check the IQ of children and adults, taking into account the level of education and other social features. To an ordinary person there is no need to go into such detail. Popular intelligence tests allow you to both test your IQ and compare it with average values ​​and indicators of other people to get an idea of ​​your level of intelligence.

What is IQ? How is intelligence measured?
To assess the level of intelligence, it is customary to use the so-called IQ. IQ, or, in Russian transcription, aikyu, is its abbreviation, introduced into use for convenience. The popularization of the concept of IQ has reached the point where many people misunderstand this characteristic and believe that they can simply check their IQ once and for all. In fact, intelligence tests are designed differently. To use them and interpret the results, you need to take into account certain features:

• The IQ test was originally developed for medical purposes. With its help, the IQ of children was checked to determine mental retardation. Today, more than a century later, a low intelligence level is considered to be below 70 points.
  
• An IQ below 70 is considered an indicator of mental retardation, but test results should not be taken as a definitive assessment of intellectual ability. The results of an IQ test are affected by fatigue, health status and other temporary factors.
  
• Objectively, the level of intelligence is influenced by health status, heredity, the environment (political situation in the country, standard of living, etc.), as well as the presence of some specific genes, race and even gender.
  

The IQ indicator is relative, not absolute. It is necessary to perceive the level of intelligence in conjunction with the age of the person being tested, otherwise the results will be inadequate. For example, checking the IQ of a child and an adult may ultimately give the same number of points. This does not mean that a 5-year-old and a 25-year-old are at the same level of development and/or have the same knowledge. IQ does not show erudition, but intellectual potential and compliance normal level development in their age category. This means that to check your IQ and your child’s IQ, you will have to take different tests.

Tall and low level intelligence. Types of IQ tests
There is no single universal test for iq. But there are several test options that allow you to test your IQ. They contain quite standard tasks to test the level of intelligence. The tests are aimed at logical thinking and contain simple questions from different areas of knowledge: arithmetic examples alternate with letter puzzles and combinations geometric shapes. Today, there are various tests for testing intelligence in the public domain:

• Eysenck tests are the most popular. They include 8 verification options at once. All 8 Eysenck tests are designed for adults (18-50 years old) who have received at least secondary education. Eysenck tests can be considered universal because they create equal conditions for people with a mathematical and humanitarian mindset. Despite the fact that Eysenck intelligence tests are often criticized for their simplicity and bias, IQ testing usually means these tests.
  
• Intelligence tests developed by D. Wexler, J. Raven, R. Amthauer are newer, more accurate and more complex. For example, the Wechsler test contains 11 specialized subsections. They explore the general stock of knowledge, the ability to analytical thinking, concentration and abstraction, memorization, synthesis and other characteristics of mental activity. The Wechsler test is known worldwide by the acronyms WAIS and WISC.
  
• Child intelligence tests are designed in the form of fascinating puzzles and bright pictures. Child psychologists use them as a professional tool, but every parent can find a children's IQ test online or in the media to entertain their child. Testing your child's intelligence at home should not be taken seriously. Just let your child have fun solving riddles and encourage his interest in such mental simulators.
  

It doesn't matter what grade you got in math or grammar on your school report card. Each test is designed in such a way that all skills are balanced. But for greater objectivity, it is advisable to take not one, but several IQ tests. Then their average result can be considered more or less reliable.

How to test your intelligence level? How to pass the IQ test?
It is better to check your IQ alone, in a calm environment and in a good mood. There is no need to specially prepare for the IQ test; on the contrary, try to relax and not give too much attention to what is happening. of great importance. Select free time, when no one will distract you, sit comfortably at your computer and start checking. Using the Eysenck test as an example, we will show you how to effectively pass the IQ test:

1. Start your iq test rested and healthy. At the end of the day, after hard work or early in the morning, half asleep, the test results will be lower than actual ones.
   
2. The Eysenck test consists of 40 questions, the complexity of which gradually increases. You cannot skip questions; you will have to answer each one. If you are not sure of the correct answer, choose the option that is most likely in your opinion.
   
3. You have exactly half an hour to complete the Eysenck test. You have the right to complete the test faster, but you cannot spend more than 30 minutes on an intelligence test using the Eysenck method.
   

Despite the apparent simplicity, some questions can cause difficulties. If you are taking the test online, then the temptation to find ready-made IQ test answers will be very great. Of course, no one will catch your hand and prevent you from using the tips. But in this case, the test results will only show your level of cunning, but not intelligence.

How to find out your intelligence level using a test? IQ test results
Intelligence test results will be shown as a two or three digit number. Most likely, an explanatory comment will appear next to them. And if not, be guided by this interpretation:

• The normal IQ value is about 100 points. On average, most people (about half of all test takers) score between 90 and 110.
  
• An IQ score of less than 90 points occurs in approximately 25% of test takers. If we consider the sample representative, then we can say that a quarter of people have a level of intelligence below average. However, do not forget about possible errors and interference that distort the results of iq tests.
  
• High level of intelligence – iq110 and above. Few outstanding personalities could boast of such a result. In particular, Stephen Hawking's IQ is 160, Einstein's IQ is 175, Garry Kasparov's IQ is 180. Try it, maybe you can surpass their results?
  

Be aware that many available online intelligence tests inflate scores slightly to flatter users. In addition, Eysenck tests and similar questionnaires for self-testing IQ are often criticized by scientists: they say that not all questions are formulated correctly, and some tasks do not have a correct answer at all. Well, maybe that's the point of testing. When passing the test, you find yourself in non-standard conditions where you have to use intuition, ingenuity and the deductive method, which best characterizes not erudition, but just logical thinking. Good luck to you, extraordinary decisions and high results checks!
