An IQ test I.Q. (Intelligence Quotient) is an assessment of your ability to think and reason. An IQ test is a standardised way to compare your mental abilities with the abilities of others.
There are various ways to measure intelligence, but the most famous is the IQ test. The IQ test is a standardized test designed to measure human intelligence. Usually, an IQ test consists of a series of tasks, each of which has been standardized with a large representative population of individuals in order to establish an average IQ of 100 for each test.

A person’s mental ability develops constantly until the age of about thirteen years. After that, development slows down and beyond the age of eighteen no improvement is found.

The IQ test is just one part of what is generally referred to as psychometric testing. Such test content may be addressed to assess personality, attitude, intelligence, and skill set. All these tests are basically tools for measuring the mind.

In the past twenty five years, psychometric testing has been used widely in the industry because of the need for employers to ensure they place the right people in the right job. To recruit staff members is a costly affair and if the whole process of shortlisting and interviewing can be bypassed, it can save a lot of money. If you could appoint the right people from the beginning by looking at the results of their test scores, it is a definite money-saver.
