Visualization

Visual intelligence measures the ability to process visual material and to employ both
physical and mental images in thinking. As a result people with a high visualization IQ
find it easier to comprehend information and communicate it to others. Your
visualization skills determine how well you perceive visual patterns and extract
information for further use. Visualization also facilitates the ability to form associations
between pieces of information something which helps improve long term memory.

Verbal Intelligence

It is said that to have a mastery of words is to have in one's possession the ability to
produce order out of chaos and that command of vocabulary is a true measure of
intelligence. Verbal intelligence measures your capacity to use language in order to
express yourself, comprehend stories and understand other people. Verbal abilities
include reading, writing and communicating with words. The verbal component of this
test examines your vocabulary and your capacity to learn verbal material. It also
measures your ability to employ verbal skills in reasoning and problem solving.

Mathematical Intelligence

We all require some numerical skills in our lives, whether it is to calculate our weekly
shopping bill or to budget how to use our monthly income. Flexibility of thought and
lateral thinking processes are a few skills which are needed in order to solve these
problems. Mathematical intelligence generally represents your ability to reason and to
calculate basic arithmetic computations. It also helps you to understand geometric
shapes and manipulate equations. Mathematical intelligence is a strong indicator of
general intelligence because many every day mental tasks require arithmetical
operations even though numbers may not be involved.

Spatial

Spatial abilities are the perceptual and cognitive abilities that enable a person to deal
with spatial relations, in other words the visualization and orientation of objects in space.
Put simply spatial skills assess your ability to manipulate 3D objects by flipping and
rotating them. Spatial intelligence questions test raw intelligence without the influence of
prior knowledge and as such performance on this scale is indicative of general
intelligence. At a first glance, such questions may appear daunting but the trick is not to
give up too quickly. Often a second look at the problem will reveal a different approach,
and a solution will appear because the brain has been given the opportunity to process
information further.

 Classification

This intelligence is closely related to the concept of general intelligence and measures
the ability to organize collections of items by finding similarities and differences between
them. By grouping together items such as words, ideas, songs or pictures you are able
to achieve a more conceptual understanding of the relationships between them.
Classification skills enable you to discern relevant data and this helps you gain a better
general understanding of the world.

Logic

Logical thinking is the ability to make deductions that lead rationally to a certain
conclusion. It is important to have good logic skills because they help you think things
through and they also give you a good understanding of cause and effect relationships.
In this test your logic IQ was assessed through your ability to comprehend and follow
certain rules and conditions set forth in many of the questions. Generally speaking logic
skills make divergent thinkers and have proven to be very successful in our daily lives.
Furthermore when combined with social insight and and self awareness logic skills
make us into effective human beings. Improving these skills will increase your IQ and
give you a good base for academic and personal success.

Pattern recognition

Out of all mental abilities this type of intelligence is said to have the highest correlation
with the general intelligence factor, g. This is primarily because pattern recognition is
the ability to see order in a chaotic environment; the primary condition for life. Patterns
can be found in ideas, words, symbols and images and pattern recognition is a key
determinant of your potential in logical, verbal, numerical and spatial abilities. It is
essential for reasoning because your capacity to think logically is based on your
perception of the logic around you. Your pattern recognition skills are expressed
verbally through your long term exposure to language and your mathematical and
spatial abilities are based on your perception of numerical data and 3D objects

5. Which of the diagrams follows?

Correct answer: A
Explanation: All the characters are letters back to back (C,D,E,F)
  Your brain has about 100 billion neurons. A typical brain cell has from 1,000 to
10,000 connections to other brain cells.

 Studies have shown that children who are breast fed display IQ's up to 10 points
higher by the age of three.

 Your brain is full of nerve cells, but it has no pain receptors. Doctors can operate
on your brain while you're awake and you won't feel a thing.

 The right side of your brain controls the left side of your body, and the left side of
your brain controls the right side of your body.

 Your brain weight accounts for about 2 percent of your body weight. But your
brain uses 20 percent of your body's oxygen supply and 20 to 30 percent of your
body's energy.

 When you are born, your brain weighs about a pound. But by age 6, it weighs
three pounds. What happens? Learning to stand, talk, and walk creates a web of
connections in your head—two pounds worth!

 People with lower IQ are at greater risk of being concussed. A Danish study
looked at 520 men who had sustained concussion after having their IQs tested
by the national draft board. 30.4 percent of the concussed men had had
dysfunctional scores. Experts decided lower IQ is a risk factor.
An analysis of 1 million students in a New York school district showed that school
cafeteria food affected IQ scores to an astonishing degree. When preservatives,
coloring, dyes and artificial flavors were removed from the cafeteria menu researchers
found that 70,000 students performed two or more IQ grade levels higher than before.

 Even though there are huge differences in weekly earnings between people of
various educations levels there are also great discrepancies between people with
comparable schooling and higher intellectual capabilities.

 Social class is just one of many factors, both environmental and genetic, that
may impact on a child's IQ. Others can include: diet, birth weight, parental IQ and
even if the child gets hugged a lot!

 IQ tests can’t measure all forms of intelligence. It’s widely agreed that
standardized tests can’t measure all forms of intelligence including creativity,
wisdom, practical sense and social sensitivity.

 Some researchers say that IQ - a predictor of income - is partly inherited.

Researchers compared the incomes of fathers and sons and found if you were in
the bottom five percent of society you had a one in 20 chance or less of getting to
the top.

 IQ is not influenced by family size or birth order. There is some confusion on this
matter due to the fact that smart families usually have few children. However
there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that you will have a low IQ if you
belong to a large family. There is also no evidence that the first born child will be
more intelligent than the rest.

Someone considered a good mind-reader is actually smart. This was found in an

Estonian study. Even if you accept a skeptic's argument — that "mind readers" are
simply those bright enough to pick up on body language and behavior — they still have
to be bright to do this!
  Feeling rejected has an effect on your IQ score. Ohio researchers claim IQ can
plummet by 25 percent after being rejected. It's harder to think straight after
rejection.

 Certain smells may improve your ability to pass exams. British research indicates
students revising for exams could use scent to improve their marks, but also that
smells associated with failure can worsen results. The smell of rosemary is also
said to enhance mental performance.

 In 1984 the political scientist James Flynn reported that Americans had gained
about 13.8 IQ points in 46 years. If people taking an IQ test today were scored in
the same way as people 50 years ago then 90% of them would be classified in
the genius level.

 A message for action travels from your brain to your muscles as fast as 250
miles per hour.

 Studies show that IQ is modestly related to the speed at which you do some
pretty simple things such as comparing two lines to see which is longer.

 Wine drinkers on average have a higher IQ than beer drinkers. Studies show a
slight advantage to wine drinkers — but do wine drinkers have higher IQs
because they drink wine or vice-versa ? It may be that some people with high IQ
reach a high social status and then choose to drink wine to fit in.

 Modern neuro-imaging techniques show that to some degree brain size is

correlated to IQ.

 IQ has been shown to increase with more schooling, better educated parents and
better toys.

A higher IQ employee will be more productive than a lower IQ employee even

after years on the same job.
Brown haired men scored higher than their blonde and red haired counterparts. Black
haired men scored lower than everyone else.

  As with men, black haired women scored below the rest.

Psychometrics

  Standardization

The test has been standardized according to the following age groups.
8-11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16-39, 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-50, over 60

The standard deviation is 15.

Each subtest has been standardized and returns a percentile score based on the entire
population of test takers. The subtests scores are reported as scores from 0-100.

Reliability

Item analysis: The Cronbach's Alpha of all items is 0.822.

No item if deleted will lead to an increase.

Factor analysis indicates the presence of a general intelligence factor.

Concurrent Validity

Questionnaire feedback has been used to establish correlations with other standardized
tests of intelligence, achievement and aptitude. The Pearson correlation coefficient r is
reported for each test.
