Learn about intelligence & IQ
Readable, research-aware snippets. Skim the essentials, then dive into the test.
Adaptive, goal-directed thinking
Intelligence blends pattern-finding, reasoning, learning speed, and transferring knowledge to new situations. It is multi-factorial and linked to working memory and attention.
A standardized relative score
IQ positions your performance against a normalized sample. Common scales center on 100 with a standard deviation of 15; scores between 85–115 are typical.
Multiple cognitive domains
Good tests mix pattern logic, visual matrices, sequences, spatial rotation, and verbal analogies. Timing and consistency matter; randomized items reduce memorization effects.
From Binet to modern norms
Early measures (Binet-Simon, Stanford-Binet) evolved into Wechsler scales, adding verbal and performance indices. Modern approaches apply item-response theory and updated norms.
Signals, not destiny
IQ can correlate with learning speed and some problem-solving tasks. It is one data point; personality, context, grit, and opportunity all shape outcomes.
Normed scores & percentiles
Raw scores convert through age-based norms. Percentiles show how many people score below you; a percentile of 84 roughly aligns with an IQ near 115.
Reasoning vs. stored knowledge
Fluid intelligence tracks novel problem solving and pattern recognition. Crystallized intelligence is accumulated knowledge and vocabulary. Both develop differently over time.
Context is everything
IQ does not capture creativity or emotional intelligence. Culture, education, and familiarity affect results; responsible interpretation requires nuance.
Brainy curiosities
Working memory often predicts reasoning. Sleep boosts scores. Bilingualism can strengthen cognitive flexibility. Practice effects are real but plateau.
