5 /Books/1387jw/0470017732/ch01/text_ IntroductionIntelligence may be narrowly defined as the capacity to acquireknowledge and understanding, and use it in different novel is this ability, or capacity, which enables the individual to deal withreal situations and profit intellectually from sensory test of intelligence is designed to formally study, under testconditions, the success of an individual in adapting to a are a number of different methods which purport to measureintelligence, the most famous of which is the IQ, or intelligencequotient test. In the formation of such tests many psychologists treatintelligence as a general ability operating as a common factor in a widevariety of many IQ tests measure a variety of different types of abilitysuch as verbal, mathematical, spatial and reasoning skills, there is nowa second school of thought in which it is believed that the earlierdefinitions of intelligence may be too is now becoming increasingly recognised that there are manydifferent types of intelligence and that a high measured IQ, althoughdesirable, is not the only key to success in life.

6 Other characteristics,such as outstanding artistic, creative or practical prowess, especiallyif combined with personal characteristics such as ambition, goodtemperament and compassion, could result in an outstanding level ofsuccess despite a low measured IQ. It is because of this that in recentyears CQ (creative quotient) and EQ (emotional quotient), to namejust two examples, have come to be regarded as equally important as,or even more important than, IQ :/Books/1387jw/0470017732/ch01/text_ should also be pointed out that having a high IQ does not meanthat one has a good memory. A good memory is yet another type ofintelligence, and could result in high academic success despite a lowmeasured IQ test object of this book is to identify different types of intelligenceand bring together tests for different aspects of intelligence into onebook, and provide an objective assessment of abilities in a number ofdifferent will, therefore, give readers the opportunity to identify theirown strengths and weaknesses and thus enable readers to build ontheir strengths and work at improving their performance in areas well as the identifying of such strengths and weaknesses, thetests and exercises in this book perform another important function,that of using and exercising the the enormous capacity of the brain.

7 We only use on average2% of our potential brainpower. There is, therefore, the potential foreach of us to expand our brainpower is important that we continually use our brain, for example, themore we practise at tests of verbal aptitude, the more we increase ourability to understand the meaning of words and use them effectively;the more we practise at mathematics, the more confident we becomewhen working with numbers; and the more we practise our ability tomove our fingers and manipulate small objects, the more dextrous webecome at operations involving this type of brain is undoubtedly our greatest asset, yet, for most of us, itis the part of the body we most take for brain needs exercise and care in the same way as other partsof the body.

8 We eat the right foods to keep our heart healthy, wemoisturise our skin to keep it from drying out and, just as gymnastsstrive to increase their performance at whatever level they arecompeting, by means of punishing training schedules and refinementof technique, there are exercises, or mental gymnastics, we can doto increase the performance of our brain and enhance quickness Complete Book of Intelligence Tests2K:/Books/1387jw/0470017732/ch01/te xt_ people still have the outdated belief that there is little theycan do to improve the brain they are born with and that brain cellscontinually degenerate with age, but in fact our brain cells continuallydevelop new and stronger connections and adult brains can grow newcells, irrespective of should all be aware that we have the capacity to put our brainto even more use and unleash many hitherto untapped creative talentsby continually exploring new avenues, experiences and learningadventures.

9 By continually exploiting our enormous brain potential,we all have the ability to make more and stronger connectionsbetween our nerve cells, with the result that not only our mental butalso our physical long-term well-being will the aim of the tests and exercises is therefore two-fold,that of identifying individual strengths and weaknesses and that ofexercising the brain, they are at the same time, and equally importantly,designed to provide fun and entertainment to those who take of intelligenceAlthough it is difficult to define intelligence, indeed it appears to haveno formal definition, there is, nevertheless, at least one particularlyapposite definition:the capacity to learn and from standardised intelligence tests (IQ scores) are oftenused to define one s intelligence level.

10 It is, however, becomingincreasingly accepted that they do not reveal the complete picture andonly provide a snapshot of a person s ability in the area underexamination, so that, for example, someone who has scored highly ona verbal test can only be said to have a high verbal IQ and someonewho has scored highly on a mathematical test can only be said to havea high numerical IQ. Obviously, therefore, the more different typesof disciplines that are tested and examined, the more accurately theintelligence level of the individual can be IQ testing is broadly based on the principle of a measurableand genetically inherited intelligence that is cast in stone for everyindividual and does not increase throughout adulthood, there isIntroduction3K.
