All About IQ

What is IQ?
Short for “Intelligence Quotient,” an IQ number essentially boils your mental capabilities down to a number, which can be compared to other people’s IQ numbers. The term can be traced back to the beginning of the 20th century (1912), and can be credited to William Stern, a psychologist.

What are IQ tests?
IQ tests are exams that test your intelligence and mental capabilities. These tests often include visual brain teasers and require test-takers to identify patterns and solve puzzles.

What does it mean if I have a high IQ?
You’re probably a pretty smart cookie. Puzzles on IQ chests can be pretty challenging, so kudos to you for being able to crack those puzzles and nab a high score.

If your IQ score is really high (like, within the top 2% of the global population high), you can join Mensa International, an organization made up of individuals with really high IQ scores. Reach out to your local Mensa chapter to find an approved test you can take so you can join the ranks.

Does IQ matter?
No, not in the grand scheme of things. Intelligence is such a vast concept, and there are tons of different ways to be smart without acing an IQ test. In fact, researchers have found that the concept of IQ as a singular number isn’t necessarily accurate, since different parts of the brain factor into a person’s IQ test performance.
