IQ or EQ

Hi friends,

Normally we speak only about mental Intelligence, but I think rather there are some, like physical Intelligence performed by athletes, musical intelligence performed by musicians and artistic intelligence performed by artists in various fields are also relevant. IQ Test helps us to find those who are average from those who are advanced in intelligence and also find those who need special care. Because intelligence potential of each one is unique.

IQ stands for ‘Intelligence Quotient‘, meaning how smart you are. It’s supposed to give you an idea of how well you’ll do at a certain profession or how well you’ll perform academically. The whole idea of the IQ test is to measure the potential of your brains using problems posed to you on paper.

Try an IQ test @ Binbrain Exam. We have decent collection of questions in IQ Test category. You can also try Aptitude and Personality Tests there. The average IQ score there is 5. If you’ve taken an IQ test and scored 7, this means you’re a lot more intelligent than an average person. Any score less than 5 indicates your intelligence level doesn’t match up to the average.

As an employer, I prefer to conduct an IQ test always to have a better understanding of the applicant’s intelligence. A high score would indicate the candidate is well suited for the position. But some problems do there for this IQ test , It doesn’t measure your ‘Emotional Quotient‘ or EQ ? I think an intelligent employer need to sort out this problem. Means , an employer too need some kind of EQ test to measure their such capacity, ha ha ha !!!!!!!!!

intelligence quotient

An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score derived from one of several different standardized tests attempting to measure intelligence. The term “IQ,” a translation of the German Intelligenz-Quotient, was coined by the German psychologist William Stern in 1912 as a proposed method of scoring early modern children’s intelligence tests such as those developed by Alfred Binet and Theodore Simon in the early 20th Century. Although the term “IQ” is still in common use, the scoring of modern IQ tests such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale is now based on a projection of the subject’s measured rank on the Gaussian bell curve with a center value (average IQ) of 100, and a standard deviation of 15 (different tests have various standard deviations, the Stanford-Binet IQ test has a standard deviation of 16).

IQ scores have been shown to correlate with such factors as morbidity and mortality,parental social status, and to a substantial degree, parental IQ: while IQ heritability has been investigated for nearly a century, controversy remains as to how much is heritable, and the mechanisms for heritability are still a matter of some debate.

IQ scores are used in many contexts: as predictors of educational achievement or special needs, by social scientists who study the distribution of IQ scores in populations and the relationships between IQ score and other variables, and as predictors of job performance and income.

The average IQ scores for many populations were rising at an average rate of three points per decade during the 20th century with most of the increase in the lower half of the IQ range: a phenomenon called the Flynn effect. It is disputed whether these changes in scores reflect real changes in intellectual abilities, or merely methodological problems with past testing.
