IQ Test

IQ testing is a method used by psychologists to measure what is generally considered intelligence Most IQ tests consist of subtests measuring various qualities, such as factual knowledge, short-term memory, abstract reasoning, visual-spatial abilities, and common sense. Intelligence is always measured relative to a particular culture; "culture free" tests of intelligence do not exist. IQ tests do a good job of predicting academic success. They are not good at measuring such qualities as interpersonal skill or creativity. Although IQ scores tend to be fairly stable, IQ will vary over time.
