How to Test How Smart You Are

Have you ever wanted to know how smart you are? One way to find out is by taking an intelligence test. Intelligence tests are often referred to as intelligence quotient (IQ) tests. These tests measure your ability to think, problem-solve, analyze situations, and understand social values and norms. They were initially used to confirm or rule out the presence of mental disabilities in children. Today, these tests are also used by adults who want to test their intelligence.
