SCORING INSTRUCTIONSFrom the answer sheet on page 9 determine how many correct answers you had. Locate that number in the correct age column, then directly to the right in the last column (I.Q. column), you will locate your correct I.Q. rating. For example, if you are 12 years old and had 32 answers correct, you locate 32 in the 12 year column and you will find that you have an I.Q. rating of 118.

THE MEANING OF I.Q.I.Q. or intelligence quotient is a general assessment of your ability
to think and reason. Your I.Q. score is actually an indication of how you
compare in this ability with the majority of people in your age group.
A rating of 100, for example, means that, as compared to the majority of
other people in your age group, you have a normal rate of intelligence:
Most psychologists consider those failing in the range of 95-105 as having
a normal or average I.Q. Since it is difficult to pinpoint with absolute
accuracy, your actual I.Q. may vary 5 points either way from your test
score. In addition, there are many factors that may effect your scoring.
If you are tired, ill or distracted, your score will be affected. Finally,
there are many abilities which are not measured by I.Q. testing. For example,
I.Q. does not measure musical talent, manual dexterity, or a variety of
other abilities. However, I.Q. testing does give you an important indication
of your ability to think, reason and solve problems. This is critical to
your success in life. |
