The document defines IQ as a measure of intelligence determined by a standardized test. It provides a brief history of the origins of IQ testing in the early 20th century by Binet and others. It then lists some methods that can potentially help increase one's IQ score temporarily, such as meditation, exercise, sleep, and practice IQ tests. The rest of the document consists of sample questions from an IQ test covering topics like patterns, word puzzles, logic and math.

1. Definition: IQ is a measure of relative intelligence determined by a standardized test. The first intelligence test was created in 1905 by Alfred Binet and Théophile Simon to determine which French school children were too “slow” to benefit from regular instruction. Binet came up with the idea of mental age when he noticed that children are increasingly able to learn difficult concepts and perform difficult tasks as they get older. Most children reach the same level of complexity at about the same time, but some children are slower reaching those levels. A 6-year-old child who can do no more than a 3-year-old has a mental age of 3. Wilhelm Stern divided the mental age by the chronological age to get a “Mental Quotient.”<br />Mental Age/Chronological Age = Mental Quotient<br />A 6-year-old able to do only what a 3-year-old can do has a Mental Quotient of .5 or ½ (3 divided by 6). Lewis Terman later multiplied the Mental Quotient by 100 to remove the fraction and the Intelligence Quotient (IQ) was born!<br />Mental Age/Chronological Age X 100 = Intelligence Quotient<br />The 6-year-old with the Mental Quotient of ½ has an IQ of 50.<br />The majority of people have an IQ between 85 and 115.<br />Please take your time. It is much more important to understand the questions than to answer them quickly. Have fun! <br />If you want to improve your IQ for an important meeting that is scheduled in the near future or anything important you can certainly do so. Try the following methods:<br />Breathing Exercises<br />Meditation: This is immensely helpful because it involves deep breathing. Meditation involves observing breathing pattern and this induces relaxation. Close your eyes and start breathing deeply for some time. Later you can breathe at your own pace. You will have a flood of thoughts coming to your mind, ignore them all and concentrate on your breathing. Practice this daily for a few minutes.<br />Hypnosis and self-hypnosis: Practicing hypnosis oneself can help you increase your IQ.<br />Exercise<br />Improve your posture<br />Sit with your back straight and keep your mouth closed. If you have a good posture you can improve your concentration and clear up your thought process. Try it yourself. When you attempt to do some math problem sleeping or mouth opened, you will notice that you don’t do it as fast as when you sit straight with your mouth shut.<br />Exercise :Physical activity helps regulate the blood flow into your brain. You need have a rigorous regime. An activity that is sufficient enough to pump blood will wake up your brain is good. Walking is good and aerobics is even better to enhance IQ.<br />Sleep: Everyone knows that sleep refreshes you. But remember to sleep deep, it’s the quality and not the quantity of sleep that will help your IQ.<br />Be concerned only with the boosting your IQ<br />Don’t bother yourself with debates like what is real intelligence. You should be concerned only with the results, only your score in IQ test. Test always test your intelligence albeit only at a particular point of time. You have to score higher at these points of time. So if you slept well, drank coffee or employed any of the above techniques and others to boost your IQ, you will have nothing to lose. If you inculcate some of the above, you will be alert to do your tasks perfectly.<br />The following tasks require you to analyse alphanumeric patterns built according to certain rules. <br />Top of Form<br />Question 1 of the iq test: Please enter the missing figure: 3 , 5, 8, 13, 21, <br />Question 2 of the iq test: Please enter the missing figure: 4, 5, 8, 17, 44, <br />Question 3 of the iq test: Please enter the missing figure: 3, 4, 8, 17, 33, <br />Question 4 of the iq test: Please enter the missing figure: 11, 9, 7, 5, 3, <br />Question 5 of the iq test: Please enter the missing figure: 3, 6, 18, 72, 360, <br />Question 6 of the iq test: Please enter the missing figure: 30, 29, 27, 26, 24, 23, 21, 20, <br />Question 7 of the iq test: Please enter the missing character: A, D, G, J, <br />Question 8 of the iq test: Please enter the missing character: D, G, K, N, R, <br />Question 9 of the iq test: Please enter the missing character: B, C, E, H, L, <br />Word Plays <br />Question 10 of the iq test:Please insert the missing character to form two words: HUM ORKQuestion 11 of the iq test:Please insert the missing character to form two words: SLO IDEQuestion 12 of the iq test:Please insert the missing character to form two words: VEI ASERQuestion 13 of the iq test:Please mark the word not matching (meaning) the other words (odd one out): London Paris Dublin The Hague ViennaQuestion 14 of the iq test:Please mark the word not matching (meaning) the other words (odd one out): Whale Shark Herring Carp PikeQuestion 15 of the iq test:Please mark the word not matching (meaning) the other words (odd one out): Edgar Allan Poe Henry Adams Jack London Ernest Hemingway Daniel Defoe<br />Series of Figures <br />Question 16 of the iq test:Please find the figure continuing the series: a b c d Question 17 of the iq test:Please find the figure continuing the series: a b c d e Question 18 of the iq test:Please find the figure continuing the series: a b c d e Question 19 of the iq test:Please find the figure continuing the series: a b c d e Question 20 of the iq test:Please find the figure continuing the series: a b c d e Question 21 of the iq test:Please find the figure continuing the series: a b c d e Question 22 of the iq test:Please find the figure continuing the series: a b c d e Question 23 of the iq test:Please find the odd one: : a b c d e Question 24 of the iq test:Please find the odd one: a b c d e <br />Find similar cubes.
