How to learn the level of intellectual development

The level of development of intelligence call ability of the person to use of the mind for thinking, understanding, hearing, decision-making, observation, perception of interrelations and so on. For determination of this level today widely use the special tests consisting of certain tasks and limited on time.

What is intelligence

Before check of the intellectual level it is necessary to understand more precisely what is meant this concept. By means of intelligence of people thinks, studies and adapts to the environment and also can develop the powers of thinking, language perception, verbal qualities, a lexicon, figurative thinking and arithmetic abilities. Scientists have two theories of intelligence – according to the first theory, there are seven types of mental abilities: kinaesthetic, musical, verbal, spatial, interpersonal, intra personal and logical-mathematical.

Mean coordination of movements, ear for music and feeling of a rhythm, orientation in space by these types, reading, the letter and the speech, the solution of tasks, communication and interaction.

According to the second theory, the intelligence is based on component (fluency of the speech, verbal intelligence, memory), empirical (abilities to search of the decision and distinction of problems) and contextual (practicality of mind) components. However knowledge of theories does not give the chance to determine the level of intellectual development of the person therefore for this purpose special IQ tests were created. They are based on a scale from 0 to 160 points which represent range from moronity to genius.

Determination of intelligence

To determine the level of the intellectual development, it is necessary to pass one of authentic online tests which can be found in the Internet easily. At the same time it is necessary to choose tests which at repeated passing yield the coordinated results and estimate exclusively intellectual level, but not the general knowledge. These IQ tests are calculated on estimation of cogitative and logical abilities of the person by means of a certain quantity of tasks which need to be executed for limited time – from twenty to forty minutes. The complexity of questions in some online tests changes depending on age of the tested person. For exact determination of level of the intellectual development, when passing the test it is not recommended to use cribs, paper, the handle, the calculator, the Internet or hints from outside. The result less than 60-70 points speaks about the lowest I.Q. in certain cases adjoining on moronity. The result from 70 to 110 points speaks about normal mental capacities and it turns out at most of the population living in territories of the developed countries. The result from 110 to 160 points demonstrates genius of the person and meets very infrequently.
