This is a tutorial for anyone who is planning to take an I.Q. test. I once belonged to MENSA and I have taken several IQ tests during my lifetime. There are ways to increase your score even when you are not sure about the correct answer.

Iq tests that are based on general knowledge and information are just stupid and should not be taken.. Iq tests should be based on logic .. iQ isn't about whether you do or do not know the piece of information you're asked about it's about how you understand it when you receive it .. E.g. A person that is a non-reader could have a higher iq than an educated person..

When was the last time someone asked you to orally define "ironic"? Or ask "what is the similarity between a tree and a fly"? Or tell you to put red and white colored blocks together as fast as you can to match a design? My score surprisingly came out to a 151, which is higher then my ottis-lennon ones

@Featureman False. IQ is a partial measure of our ability to process information. Performance on conventional IQ tests rely heavily on crystallized processing skills, which are largely inherent, and remain constant through a lifetime. Most psychologist administered IQ tests are very poor measures of fluid intelligence, which include skills such as Working memory, Response inhibition, and Abstract reasoning, that are involved in higher cognitive skills, such as pattern recognition.
