as opposed to what most people seem to think, and IQ test does not test your intelligence, it tests just a small part. your ability for rational thinking, problem solving, pattern detection, memory etc.

there are many other forms of intelligence though, Emotional Quotient: youre ability to judge complext social situations, judge moods, predict how people will react, and how perceptive you are to whats bugging people.

there are also a quotients that measures creativity, youre memory, your ability to jinterpert language, tactical thinking. all these together make up intelligence as a whole.

IQ tests are very culturally specific. which basically means, if an american were to take a (translated) french IQ test, theres a high probability hed score ‘retard’.

The test you take will result in a score, 100 being average, 150ish being genius. (einstein and madonna range near here) or 80-90 when mentally challanged or 10 for broccoli (im not kidding, broccoli does have an IQ of 10, funny eh?)

An IQ (Intelligence Quotient) test is supposed to measure your mental age in relation to your chronological age. By definition, the average IQ is 100.

IQ tests tell you how smart you are compared to the average for your age and social situation. Average score is always 100

An IQ essentially tests your intelligence and academic ability- how well you reason mathematically and logically, and your verbal and spatial skills (manipulating 2-D and 3-D objects).

Average score is 100

Average IQ is actually 95. Only those with higher IQ would have known this. :p

An “Intelligence Quotient” test. It measures your intelligence and supposedly doesn’t change much over the course of your life. At least it didn’t for me. I was the same number at age 17 that was at age 40.

I don’t know what schools use the result for….probably to figure out if your a kid of average intelligence (average is 100).

The intelligence quotiant is a scale used to rate your basic intelligence….

Average score is 100 from what I understand, maybe not…that probably depends on various socio-economic factors and national statistics.
