Everyone is familiar with the term IQ» and the abbreviation IQ. Also, many people know that the IQ is estimated using special tests.
The founder of the development of special test programs, currently known as the "IQ Test", was the French psychologist Alfred Binet. The test very quickly gained popularity in different countries. It began to be used to determine the level of IQ not only in children, but also in military personnel. More than 2 million people have been tested. Later, the level of aikyu began to be determined by students and employees of private companies.
The IQ level allows you to determine the speed of thought processes, and not the ability of a person to think. In this regard, the use of tests today has lost its relevance.
To solve problems, you need a well-developed ability to concentrate, the ability to highlight the main thing, a developed memory, a large vocabulary and fluency in spoken language, logical thinking, the ability to manipulate objects, the ability to perform mathematical operations and perseverance. As you can see, these are more psychological characteristics of the personality than mental abilities.
What is an IQ test used for?
Currently, the test is the only way to determine the level of a person's intelligence.
There are two ways to define intelligence. The first is intended for children 10-12 years old, with the help of the second, the development of children from 12 years old and adults is assessed. They differ in the level of complexity, but the principle of use is the same.
Each test has different tasks. To earn 100-120 points, which make up the average IQ, you do not need to strive to complete all the tasks. Half of the proposed tasks are sufficient. You have 30 minutes to complete the task. The most reliable result for a person is 100-130 points.
Aikyu level of a normal person - what is considered good
The level of intelligence in the range of 100-120 points, which is half of the correctly completed tasks, is considered the norm. The person who completes all tasks receives 200 points.
Also, this test helps to determine a number of psychological characteristics: attention, thinking, memory. By identifying shortcomings in abilities, one can help in their development and increase the aikyu index.
What determines the level of IQ
Psychologists are trying to establish the dependence of the level of intelligence on heredity, physiological data, gender or race. Several lines of research are being developed.
In the 19th century, scientists conducted a series of experiments to establish the dependence of the level of intelligence on physiological data and gender. They showed no connection. Other scientists have repeatedly stated that intelligence directly depends on the race of a person. These studies also found no relationship.
A number of researchers associate mental abilities with musical tastes. Music affects the emotional sphere. British scientists have found that the IQ is higher in people who prefer classical music, hard rock and metal. The minimum level of IQ, in their opinion, is among hip-hop and R'N'B fans.
What needs to be done to increase the aikyu coefficient
Increasing your IQ quotient requires constant training and brain development. Logic tasks and intellectual games, chess, crossword puzzles and poker are considered one of the effective ways. They help improve memory and increase concentration. Exact sciences develop analytical thinking. Mental development is influenced by reading fiction and learning foreign languages.
How much IQ does a normal person have
The average level of intellectual development is 100-120 points. However, scientists have long proposed to determine the level of IQ, taking into account chronological age. The test does not show the degree of erudition of the individual, but evaluates general indicators. Tests are designed to distribute results with an average score. The test indicates the direction in which a person should develop. An IQ level of 90-120 is considered good. However, it should be remembered that the results of the initial testing will be the most correct, further the data will be distorted.
Human intelligence is very difficult to define, it is almost impossible to measure. The accumulation of knowledge, abilities and skills occurs throughout a person's life.
The basis of intelligence is made up of several determining factors, genetics, environment, environment are important. Scientists have established a direct dependence of mental development on genes. The percentage of influence can range from 40 to 80 percent.
The development of the brain affects the level of intelligence and the aikyu index. The more developed a person's frontal lobes, which are responsible for thought processes, the higher the level of IQ.
Scientists pay special attention to the development of children in the first years of life and upbringing. The level of mental development was associated with the birth order of children in the family. For a long time it was believed that the first-born had a higher level of aikyu. Compared to younger children. Recent studies have shown that the birth order of children determines the developmental potential, the ability to reason and think, and as a result determine the level of development of the intellect. On average, first-born babies are age-appropriate on tests, but score a few points more than younger siblings.
The development of mental abilities is influenced by the state of health. It is normal for a person to follow good habits and lead a healthy lifestyle. This allows you to keep your brain active. Scientists have proven that among people with a high level of intelligence, there are fewer patients with chronic diseases, their life expectancy is higher.
Aikyu scale level table by points
If the IQ test results are:
- 1-24 - profound mental retardation;
- 25-39 - severe mental retardation;
- 40-54 - moderate mental retardation;
- 55-69 - mild mental retardation;
- 70-84 - borderline mental retardation;
- 85-114 - medium;
- 115-129 - above average;
- 130-144 - moderately gifted;
- 145-159 - gifted;
- 160-179 - exceptionally gifted;
- 180 and above - deeply gifted.
Criticism of IQ tests
Determining the level of intelligence according to the proposed tests cannot be taken as a basis, since average indicators are taken as units of measurement, which change over time, which means they are not a standard.
Human intelligence depends on many factors, ranging from the time of day to the state of health.
Gender cannot be taken as a basis: among men and women there are people with both high and low IQ levels.
It has been statistically proven that IQ changes with age. It reaches its peak at the age of 25. It is generally accepted in the world that an IQ of 100 points is average. The IQ of a five-year-old reaches 50-75 points, at 10 years old it ranges from 70 to 80 points, at 15-20 years old it can reach the average value for an adult of 100 points. In many countries of the world (for example, the USA and Japan), gifted people are selected on the basis of IQ tests, and then they are trained according to an enhanced and accelerated system. This is due to the fact that children with an IQ increased for their age, as a rule, learn much better and faster than their peers.Race
Oddly enough, but IQ varies from race to race. For example, the average IQ for African Americans is 86, for European whites it is 103, and for Jews it is 113. All this speaks in favor of the supporters of scientific racism. However, this gap is narrowing from year to year.Floor
Women and men do not differ from each other in intelligence, but, according to statistics, the IQ between them differs depending on age. Boys under the age of 5 years are somewhat smarter than their peers, but, starting from the age of 10-12 years, girls are ahead of boys in development. This gap disappears by the age of 18-20.Normal IQ
The IQ of an adult depends on many factors - genetics, upbringing, environment, race, etc. Although the average IQ is about 100 points, it varies from 80 points to 180. This limiting level of IQ is laid down in the classic IQ test, developed by the English psychologist Hans Eysenck in 1994. In order to obtain adequate data on this test, it must be passed once in a lifetime in adulthood. Repeated passage distorts and overestimates the results.If the IQ is below 80 points, then this indicates the physical and mental deviations of a person. If IQ exceeds 180 points, then this indicates the genius of the owner of such points. But these dependencies are very conditional. For example, the great physicist Albert Einstein was the most backward in the class in terms of academic performance, which did not prevent him from developing the theory of relativity in the future. And on the other hand, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the largest IQ of 228 points was recorded in 1989 by ten-year-old American Marilyn Waugh Sawan. This is where her personal achievements end.

There is a lot of talk about IQ tests these days, but many people still don't know what these scores really mean. What exactly is a high IQ? And the average? How many points do you need to score to be considered a genius?
IQ, or intelligence quotient, is the score obtained on a standardized test designed to measure intelligence. It is formally considered that in the early 1900s with the introduction of the Binet-Simon test, but later it was revised, and the Stanford-Binet test acquired universality.
IQ tests have proven to be very popular not only among psychologists, but also among other specialists, but there is still a lot of controversy about what exactly IQ tests measure and how accurate they are.
In order to adequately evaluate and interpret test results, psychometricians use standardization. This process involves conducting a test with a representative sample of the population. Each participant takes the test under the same conditions as all other participants in the study group. This process allows psychometricians to establish norms or standards against which individual results can be compared.
When determining the results of the test to determine the level of intelligence development, as a rule, the normal distribution function is used - a bell-shaped curve, on which most of the results are located near or around the average score. For example, the majority of scores (about 68%) on the WAIS III test are typically between 85 and 115 (with an average of 100). The remaining results are less common, and therefore the area of the curve on which they are located is directed downward. Very few people (approximately 0.2%) score more than 145 (indicating a very high IQ) or less than 55 (indicating a very low IQ) on the test.
Because the median score is 100, professionals can quickly evaluate individual scores by comparing them to the median and determining where those scores fall on the normal distribution scale.
More about IQ scores
In most modern IQ tests, the average score is set at 100 with a standard deviation of 15 so that the scores follow a bell curve. This means that 68% of the results fall within one standard deviation of the mean (ie, between 85 and 115 points), and 95% fall within two standard deviations (between 70 and 130 points).
A score of 70 or less is considered low. In the past, this mark was considered an indicator of mental retardation and intellectual disability, characterized by significant cognitive impairment. Today, however, only the results of the IQ test are not used to diagnose intellectual disability. The result below 70 points is received by approximately 2.2% of people.
A score over 140 is considered a high IQ. Many believe that a result of more than 160 points can speak of a person's genius.
A high IQ is certainly closely related to academic achievement, but is it related to success in life in general? Are there really more successful people than their lower IQ counterparts? Many experts believe that other factors can also have a great influence, including.
That is, the scores are interpreted as follows.
