Types of IQ

Alfred Binet developed the first IQ test in 1905, according to IQ Test Experts. Intelligence Quotients are the ratio between a person's mental age and chronological age. It measures a person's cognitive capability, so the higher the IQ is, the more intelligent a person is believed to be. IQ measures how you reason and think. When mental and chronological ages meet, your IQ is 100. Anything over 100 means your mental age is higher than your chronological age.
  1. Crystalized and Fluid

    • Crystallized intelligence uses your long-term memory to solve problems with your existing knowledge and skills; you rely on what you already know. It relies on rote memory, which gives you the ability to retain and recall past experiences and skills. Fluid intelligence identifies relationships between concepts and solves problems using these relationships. It doesn't rely on previous knowledge or experience, but uses short-term memory. Just like training for a new job, you can learn new concepts and skills and immediately use them to solve problems.

    Intrapersonal, Perceptual and Body

    • Intrapersonal and introspective intelligence means people can analyze. They think about and analyze life, often keeping a journal. They analyze themselves, including their strengths and weaknesses. Perceptual intelligence quickly identifies stimulus. Entire words can be identified by viewing only a few letters. Body intelligence judges a person's athletic ability, including balance and building. Strong body and movement intelligence indicates sports ability.

    Numerical, Spatial and Reasoning

    • Individuals who enjoy mysteries or complex problems and are good at math and logic have high logical and mathematical intelligence. Spatial intelligence views how a person sees images and pictures. Individuals with high spatial intelligence are good at jigsaw puzzles, appreciate art and like to create artwork. A person's ability to solve problems, particularly complex problems, do detailed planning and profit from his experiences, denotes reasoning intelligence.

    Linguistic, Music and Interpersonal

    • Linguistic and verbal intelligence gauges how a person writes, reads and speaks about things. It determines how strong you are with words. Musical intelligence determines if a person has rhythm and musical ability, while interpersonal intelligence is determined by how an individual interacts with others. Interpersonal intelligence judges how an individual listens, reads body language, identifies dishonesty, is emotionally connected to others and has deep conversations.
