IQ and how it is estimated

The two scholars Alfred Binet and Theodor Simon (of French origin) invented in 1905 AD a test to determine an approximate IQ , the test consists of several examinations in which a person's IQ is estimated, and the average IQ of a normal person is close to 100 degrees, and the greater the rate, the greater this The person is smarter, and the lower the rate, the less intelligent this person is. Einstein got a score of 160, Napoleon got a score of 145, and Bill Gates got a score of 162 on the IQ test, and the ratios are graded as follows according to the result: [1]


The ratio I.Q
58--68 Very weak, below normal range of intelligence
68--80 Weak, close to the normal range of intelligence
80--115 Good IQ, normal range of intelligence
115--125 High IQ, higher than normal IQ
125--135 Very high IQ, close to the level of genius
135--145 Very, very high IQ, almost genius
145--165 genius
165--185 Genius is very high
185--200 Imaginary genius and very rare


IQ test

An IQ test consists of several diverse questions that test the mental capabilities of a person, regardless of his culture, language, or knowledge. There are easy questions, medium questions and difficult questions, and the goal of this diversity is to test all mentalities at all levels of intelligence, and the exam consists of shapes, symbols and numbers, so everyone can apply for it without the language factor affecting the results, of course it should be noted that this exam is an estimate and does not give accurate results 100 % Rather, it is estimated based on the answers, and it should also be noted that it is possible that IQ rates are not clearly reflected in real life, as scientists have made clear that psychological, social, and family problems and obstacles may hinder the development of a person's intelligence and the reflection of this intelligence in his behavior and therefore the IQ test is not a criterion for success or Failure or progress in life.

Tips for taking an IQ test

When you want to take an IQ test, you must follow the following tips: [3]

  • The aim of the competitive exam and self-affirmation should not be a way of assessing your IQ and to what degree it can develop.
  • That the exam is not a way to determine the possibility of success or failure in life, but a way to encourage oneself to achieve the best.
  • To take the exam after a deep sleep and rest, so that the mind is in a state of activity and alert.
  • Do not use anyone’s help, calculator, or the Internet, but only your mind.
