An IQ test

1. IQ Test
By Zachary Vowles

2. What is IQ
The concept of IQ, or "Intelligence Quotient" was first introduced by French psychologist Alfred Binet
in 1904.
An intelligence quotient, or IQ, is a score that comes from a series of questions from one of several
standardized tests designed to assess human intelligence. The abbreviation "IQ" was named by a
psychologist William Stern for the German term Intelligenz-quotient, his term for a scoring method for
intelligence tests he recommended in a 1912 book.
When current IQ tests are developed, the median (mid) raw score of the norming sample is defined as
IQ 100 and scores each standard deviation (SD) up or down are defined as 15 IQ points greater or
less, although this was not always so historically.

3. What I decided
I decided that I would design my own IQ test. However it
will probably not be as good as Mensa IQ tests and the
Stanford-Binet test. The score is to be found out by
following a series of websites to find the formula at the end
of the test.

18. End notes
(Mental Age/Chronological Age) * 100 = I.Q.
I also tried to find a way of scoring peoples IQ score but my endeavors
remained unfufilled as all ways were blocked off or I just didn’t pay enough
attention to the websites and the book I read, if you are interested in finding
your IQ you will have to go through the sites that I have and find the formula.
If you were wondering what the finishing question was about... It was from a
book called Lexicon with a quiz, an amazing book in my own humble opinion.
Here’s a link to the online quiz : http://maxbarry.com/lexicon-quiz/
