Description
Intelligence Quotient, as a useful means of measuring brain capacity, has come more and more into the public eye in recent years.
This famous book (and its sequel Check Your Own 1.Q.) enables readers to estimate and confirm their own I.Q. rating. In the first part the well-known author of Sense and Nonsense in Psychology and Uses and Abuses of Psychology describes clearly what an I.Q. is, how it can be applied, and what the shortcomings of this system of rating may be.
The second part of the book contains eight sets of forty I.Q. problems each, and these are graduated from 'quite easy' to 'very difficult'. There are tables for converting results into an I.Q. rating, and also explanations of the problems, together with the right answers, at the end of the book.
Those wishing to test themselves seriously should not dip into the questions or answers.
