How to Find Out One's IQ

IQ stands for intelligence quotient and an IQ test essentially measures mental capacity. While experts have many different opinions regarding the implementation and usefulness of IQ tests, they are generally reliable when it comes to measuring intelligence. Different Internet versions of IQ tests vary in their reliability. The Mensa home test, which costs $18, is a reliable test you can take online if you are 14 or older. This test is a good predictor of success on the Mensa entrance exam; however, if you wish to join Mensa, you must pass the organization's exam at a testing center.
