Intelligence is more than being able to recite a long poem after one read, to memorize 1000 digits or to do calculus in your head. Intelligence is effectiveness and this way of understanding it makes it accessible to all.IQ can be definitely improved and a person who initially could not score well in an IQ test can do better next time after following certain brain exercises.

IQ is an acronym for Intelligence Quotient, which is a measurement of your intelligence and is expressed in a number.

But ,what exactly does IQ measure?

What is a good IQ score?  What is a high IQ score?  What is a low IQ score?  These are common questions, particularly after someone finds out their score from an IQ test. In this lesson, you will learn what different IQ scores mean

For over a hundred years psychologists have defined, measured and used the concept of the Intelligence Quotient (IQ).

Now,computerized tests are used because they are cost-efficient, they are time efficient, and they have untapped potential to measure abilities with a precision that cannot easily be matched by a psychiatrist (for example, measuring reaction time in milliseconds). The IQ tests of the future will have built-in training exercises,  incisively effective at teaching new material.

Are there  genuine  online IQ tests  that truly measures your IQ? The answer is : No, there are no genuine IQ tests on the Internet. Official IQ tests will need to be administered through a qualified professional, which in the United States means through a licensed psychologist or organization such as Mensa.

 The most commonly used individual IQ test series is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale for adults and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children for school-age test-takers. In this lesson, you will learn how these tests look like.

Learn tips and tricks on how to prepare for your IQ test.

What is the lowest recorded IQ score? Beyond the theoretical part of IQ measurement, there are also scientifically proven consequences of a low IQ. Learn about the risks of a low IQ.

Who was the smartest person in the word? In this lesson you will learn about the highest IQs ever recorded.

Can your IQ score change over time?

Absolutely!

So, if IQ scores can change over time, how can you increase your IQ,by using your brain's neuroplasticity?

There is strong evidence  to suggest that working memory have an enormous influence on the development of a person's fluid intelligence (general intelligence). A high IQ score tends to correlate with a strong working memory.

Another important thing is knowing how the brain works, so you can optimally leverage it.

Intelligence is made up from a combination of skills and can be improved by following certain processes or thinking exercises.

Physical fitness is statistically linked with IQ, and some recent studies also indicate that an increasing fitness level could also boost your IQ.

Mensa is the largest and oldest high IQ society in the world. It is a non-profit organization open to people who score at the 98th percentile or higher on a standardized, supervised IQ or other approved intelligence test.

How does one join Mensa?

Passing the Mensa test means that  you  get an IQ at or above the 98th percentile  to an officially administered IQ test, such as with Mensa themselves  or other accepted standardized test , such as Wechsler or Stanford–Binet Intelligence Scales.

What is the format of a real Mensa IQ test?

How can you prepare for a MENSA test? Good practice can get you the 10, maybe even 20, extra IQ points you would otherwise miss to be able to enter Mensa.

Most people think intelligence is the reason successful people do so well, but psychologists find this is only partly true.

  IQ tests can only predict how well people will do in particular situations, such as thinking abstractly in science, engineering or leading teams of people, but extraordinary achievement depends on many things, including ambition, persistence, opportunity, the ability to think clearly and even luck.
