Introduction
Of the different 'ethods that purport to 'easure intelligence! the 'ost fa'ous is the IQ
CIntelligence QuotientD test! (hich is a standardised test designed to 'easure hu'an
intelligence as distinct fro' attain'ents) Intelligence 4uotient is an age8related 'easure of
intelligence le&el) The (ord 4uotient 'eans the result of di&iding one 4uantity by another!
and one definition of intelligence is 'ental ability or 4uickness of 'ind) ,sually! IQ tests
consist of a graded series of tasks! each of (hich has been standardised (ith a large
representati&e population of indi&iduals in order to establish an a&erage IQ of 1.. for each
test) It is generally accepted that a person%s 'ental ability de&elops at a constant rate until
about the age of 19! after (hich de&elop'ent has been sho(n to slo( do(n! and beyond
the age of 13 little or no i'pro&e'ent is found) Ehen the IQ of a child is 'easured! the
subFect atte'pts an IQ test that has been standardised! (ith an a&erage score recorded
for each age group) Thus a 1.8year8old child (ho scored the result that (ould be
e=pected of a 1-8year8old (ould ha&e an IQ of 1-.! or 1-A1. G 1..5 'ental age C1-D G 1..

There are a nu'ber of different types of intelligence tests! for e=a'ple /attell! Stanford8
Binet and Eechsler! and each ha&e their o(n different scales of intelligence) The
Stanford8Binet is hea&ily (eighted (ith 4uestions in&ol&ing &erbal abilities and is (idely
used in the ,nited States of #'erica) The Eeschler scales consist of t(o separate &erbal
and perfor'ance sub8scales each (ith its o(n IQ rating) On the Stanford8Binet scale half

that IQ tests are Fust one part of (hat is generally referred to as psycho'etric testing)

Introduction
test content 'ay be addressed to al'ost any aspect of our intellectual or e'otional 'ake8
up! including personality! attitude! intelligence or e'otion) $sycho'etric tests are basically
tools used for 'easuring the 'indJ the (ord 'etric 'eans 'easure and the (ord psycho
'eans 'ind) There are t(o types of psycho'etric tests that are usually used in tande' by
e'ployers) These are aptitude tests! (hich assess your abilities! and personality
4uestionnaires! (hich assess your character and personality) #ptitude tests are also
kno(n as cogniti&e! ability or intelligence CIQD tests) Such tests are designed to test your
ability to co'prehend 4uickly under strictly ti'ed conditions) /ognition 'ay be broadly
defined as kno(ing! percei&ing and thinking and it is studied by psychologists because it
re&eals the e=tent of a person%s ability to think) There are 'any different types of tests)
Ko(e&er! a typical test 'ight consist of three sections each testing a different ability!
usually co'prising &erbal reasoning! nu'erical ability and diagra''atic! or spatial!
reasoning) In order to gi&e you the opportunity to practise on all types of 4uestions that
you are likely to encounter in actual IQ tests! the tests that ha&e been specially co'piled
for this book are 'ulti8discipline and include a 'i= of &erbal! nu'erical and diagra''atic
4uestions! as (ell as additional 4uestions in&ol&ing logical thought processes as (ell as a
degree of lateral thinking) In the past -5 years psycho'etric testing has been brought into
(idespread use in industry because of the need for e'ployers to ensure they place the
right people in the right Fob at the outset) One of the 'ain reasons for this is the high cost
of errors in today%s (orld of tight budgets and reduced profit 'argins) To recruit a ne(
'e'ber of staff an e'ployer has to ad&ertise! consider each application! reduce the
applicants to a shortlist! inter&ie( and then train the successful applicant) If the (rong
hiring choice has been 'ade! then the (hole e=pensi&e process has to be repeated)
9
It is i'portant that such tests are e&aluated in tande' (ith each other as if a person
scores (ell on an aptitude test it does not necessarily 'ean that they (ill be suited to the
Fob! as (hilst you 'ay be good at doing so'ething! you 'ay dislike it intensely! and
success in 'ost tasks is hea&ily dependent on your personal 4ualities and your attitude)
#lthough it is generally accepted that a person%s IQ re'ains constant throughout life! and!
therefore! it is not possible to increase your actual IQ! it is possible to i'pro&e your
perfor'ance on IQ tests by practising the 'any different types of 4uestion! and learning to
recognise the recurring the'es) Besides their uses in i'pro&ing one%s perfor'ance on IQ
tests! practice on the type of 4uestions contained in this book has the added ad&antage of
e=ercising the brain) Our brain needs e=ercise and care in the sa'e (ay as other parts of
the body) Ee eat the right foods to keep our heart healthy! (e 'oisturise our skin to keep
it fro' drying out and! Fust as gy'nasts stri&e to increase their perfor'ance at (hate&er
le&el they are co'peting by 'eans of punishing training schedules and refine'ent of
techni4ue! there are e=ercises! or 'ental gy'nastics! (e can do to increase the
perfor'ance of our brain and enhance 4uickness of thought) Lany people still ha&e the
outdated belief that there is little they can do to i'pro&e the brain they are born (ith and
that brain cells continually degenerate (ith age5 but! in fact! our brain cells continually
de&elop ne( and stronger connections and adult brains can gro( ne( cells irrespecti&e of
age) The 'ain thing is to use your brain continually) For e=a'ple! the 'ore (e practise at
