Introduction to The Complete IQ Test PDF Book

Our IQ (intelligence quotient) is essentially a measure of our own intelligence against that of the rest of society, but it can also be a measure of our self-esteem.

After doing an IQ test, many people have been pleasantly surprised to discover that they were more intelligent than they had thought.

With this updated measure of their abilities, they can gain new confidence in life. If you discover that your IQ puts you in the top – say, 20 percent, when you had thought you were merely average, you are likely to reassess your life and to adjust your personal goals.

The knowledge that you are more intelligent than 80 percent of those around you can give you the incentive to go for a promotion or to quit your job and start on your own.

Perhaps you will go for that degree that until now you never thought you were capable of? Perhaps you will hold your head higher and value your own judgment more.

Whatever the case, you are unlikely to remain the same. Fortunately, it is unlikely that any reader of this book will discover their intelligence to be below average.

Many people who will buy this book already suspect that they are not using their full potential. Only those of above-average intelligence tend to show any curiosity as to their intellectual abilities.

Perhaps you have picked up clues to your intelligence do you have an understanding of abstract concepts that baffle others?

Have you always felt different, and had trouble fitting in? Are you more sensitive, or more aware than your peers? Perhaps you are not satisfied to believe what others tell you? Paradoxically, the more intelligent you are, the greater will be the tendency to underestimate your ability.

The greatest personal value of IQ tests therefore, is to correct this problem and give us a real idea of our own ability. Only when we know ourselves can we go on to fulfill our true potential.

The Tests

The tests in this book are designed to measure the five main aspects of intelligence the ability to recognize and decode visual patterns visual-spatial cognitive ability; the ability to recognize numerical patterns and solve problems, numerical ability;

The ability to use our native language, verbal-linguistic ability; the ability to come to true conclusions about stated facts, logical deduction’, and the ability to put all these other skills to practical use, creative ability.

Each test is complete in itself and may be used to determine a score for a specific subject, but all the tests need to be taken into account to determine your overall IQ.

The procedure for this is on page 109, together with a graph on page 110 that converts your test results into an IQ score.

If the procedures for completing the tests in this book are followed carefully, they will give a fair estimate of your IQ, within the limits imposed by non-standard test conditions, and the space restrictions of this book.

However, no IQ test can claim to be definitive, and you are likely to find that each test you take evaluates your IQ slightly differently, producing a different overall score.

Do not examine any of the test problems before commencing the tests, even if you do not intend to start the test immediately once we look at a problem our subconscious mind begins working on it and makes the solution come easier.

In the same way, if you sit the tests and then come back to them later and redo them, you will find an increase in your score simply because you remember how to do some of them. Mensa has found it necessary to wait three years before re-testing, to eliminate the memory factor.

If, on the other hand, your intention is to boost your IQ score, then do the tests as often as you like. The very act of completing IQ tests actually increases our IQ score.

Part of this increased score is due to test-sophistication – becoming familiar with typical problems and their methods of solution, but part of the increase is because of a genuine boost in our intelligence level.

We do our thinking with physical connections in our brain axons and dendrites, and the more we practice at any task, the greater the number of neural connections for that task. It is a common fallacy that our brain remains unchanged once we reach adulthood.

We can’t grow more neurons – the grey cells, but the connections between those cells are in a state of continual flux, constantly throwing out or breaking connections in an unbelievably complex communications network, with up to 10,000 connections between each cell.

When we persist at any task for sufficiently long, the connections become permanent, and the axons grow a myelin sheathing, analogous to the shielding in a coaxial cable, that protects them and helps them to function efficiently.

Laboratory tests have shown that the more neural connections we gain, the more intelligent we become.
