Hey guys! Chronicle living here and last time I talked about three different
techniques for increasing your IQ and today we'll be learning on how to take
an IQ test and at the end compare between the free versions and the paid
versions. Alright! It is important to first know what an IQ test is and how it
works! So an IQ test is commonly known as intelligent quotient test which was
invented in 1904 and it is often regarded as the most objective and
accurate method of determining intelligence. You probably know an
average IQ is in between 90-110 but did you know that
Einstein's IQ was a hundred sixty to a hundred ninety? Perhaps you didn't know
but Leonardo Da Vinci's IQ was thought to be possibly a hundred eighty to one
hundred ninety! Gary Kasparov has an IQ of 194 but there's even more higher
accusin that with Christopher Hirata that scored two hundred and twenty five!
Just to add five more to that and we got Terence Tao that scored two hundred
and thirty! Quite amazing but however keep in mind an IQ is not the be-all
end-all of a person's potential in life. That is because an IQ test fails to
measure things such as musical talent and a bunch of other abilities that may
lead one to many different successes in life. So an IQ score on an IQ test is
just there to give you an estimated indication of the ability that you
possess to think, reason, solve problems, which can often be useful in many phases
of your life. There are some factors that are calculated when measuring your
intelligent quotient like your age divided by the chronological age
multiplied by ten. How the test will work it will give you a series of questions
in multiple fields and compares the score to others of your equivalent age.
There are some IQ tests that can gauge personal cognitive abilities and show
you your strengths and weaknesses. So after all that is done you'll probably
get an IQ score that is a standardized way of comparing with the majority of
people in the same age group that you are in. A score of a hundred means that
compared to these people in your general age group, you have basically an average
intelligence. Most psychologists would say that scoring in the range of 90 to
110 is about normal range for intelligence. Also you should know actual
IQ scores may vary plus or minus five points since it's very difficult to get
an IQ score with a hundred percent complete accuracy. That is because
there's many outside factors that may have an impact on your performance such
as you're not feeling well at the time of taking the test or perhaps you are
distracted by something on that particular day. So these things may
affect your score therefore it's always a good idea to take several tests on
different times to get an average representation. So this brings to my next
point what's the difference between the free version that you could find online
and the paid ones. Well unauthorized tests that can be
commonly googled are usually free but they're highly inaccurate. Most will give
you an inflated or randomized score which can be quite meaningless. What seems to
be one of the best ways to get a high quality and most trusted test is to go
to a licensed psychologist which can either give you the test or direct you
to an official testing center. The only downfall of going to a psychologist is
psychologists tests can range significantly in duration and depending
on the rates of the psychologist it could be as low as two hundred and forty
dollars and as high as eight hundred dollars so just for a single report
that's how much you have to pay. Sooooo I know that most people would rather not
spend that hefty amount so the good news is there's an affordable IQ test that
you could take which is commonly called Mensa. This testing is the cheapest route
perhaps one of the best to go for. The Mensa IQ test is considered one of the
most accurate IQ measurements as well as the most affordable. The test is
administered at set times during the year and cost about forty dollars. And
generally the Mensa assessment takes about two
hours. You could actually try out their workout quiz that you could get a good
feel of how the test might be but keep in mind this isn't an IQ test so don't
expect to get a real result from this workout quiz and let's say you actually
go there you take the test and you score really high. You could be publicly
recognized as a known member who attained a score within the upper 2% of
the general population. What's even cool is Tai Lopez states
that he's part of Mensa. All right like I said remember this
don't equate your IQ with your potential, IQ test only measures verbal and
academic potential. Intelligence comes in many other facets such as social or
artistic which cannot be measured by an IQ test. View your IQ test as a facet of
your ability not your full reflection. It could help in many ways but it is not
the only way so if you're worried about having a low IQ and you want to get
better actually in school or somehow, than yes a higher IQ will help so I made a video
on three simple effective techniques they could do that will help you
increase your IQ significantly. You can click the video on the upper icon right
