Test Your I. Q.

An important new system of personal IQ assessment, this book is the most useful and thoroughly-researched offering on the subject since the ground-breaking bestsellers of H.J. Eysenck. The authors offer an informed and provocative essay on the whole question of intelligence, reviewing the latest techniques for its measurement. They argue that the assessment of IQ is often a much more inexact science than the layman usually supposes, but that it is still of considerable value in assessing a person's abilities. This is followed by a series of four tests. Each is designed to take one hour of undistracted concentration. Two of the tests contain 80 questions and two of them 40 questions. A test of mixed questions is followed by tests concentrating on sequences, patterns and puzzles. Each test has been validated against members of MENSA, the organisation whose members must have an accredited IQ of more than 150-the top 2% of the population.
