The accepted definition of intelligence is the ability to gain and apply knowledge and skills appropriately. Although this is the case, intelligence is also the ability to adapt to any changes happening in the surrounding, to think logically, self-awareness, constant learning. It can be measured by verbal fluency, logical thinking, common sense, creativity, openness to experience, lack of bias, and also sensitivity to own limitations. To add to this, intelligence is something you're born with which can be acquired by constant learning as well.


There are numerous methods to measure your intelligence and one of them is testing your intelligence by a series of questions. Despite this, it is now popularly accepted that mathematical, verbal, reasoning intelligence are not the only factors that come to play in the journey to success. Creativity, artistic skills, personal skills such as compassion and ambition will lead to success as well although the IQ level is low. Due to this, there are new tests such as Creative quotient, emotional quotient is similarly or more important that just intelligence quotient measurement.


Another aspect to consider is that high intelligence is not similar to having a good memory. It is a type of intelligence that will help in academic success despite having a low intelligence level. Despite the huge capacity of the brain, people tend to use only 2% of the brainpower. Therefore, we all have the potential to expand our brain power through learning and practicing. By doing this, we can make strong connections between our nerve cells which will result in improved mental and physical long-term health as well.

The following set of questions is put together to test several intelligence categories such as spatial, verbal, logical, creative, and numerical intelligence.

  • Spatial Intelligence- Spatial ability is referred to as the ability to understand and identify geometric forms, patterns, and meanings.

  • Verbal Intelligence- Verbal ability to understand, analyze, and use words appropriately. The proper use of grammar, spelling, the meaning of words, synonyms, and antonyms.

  • Logical Reasoning- The ability to go by principles of argument and valid reasoning. Being logical is being deductive and analytical which means if someone is capable of reasoning, in an orderly valid manner then the person is said to have logical reasoning ability.

  • Creative Intelligence- Creativity is said to be the mental processes that lead to unique ideas, solutions, theories, concepts, or products. Creativity includes imagination, lateral thinking, and problem-solving as well.

  • Numerical Intelligence- Numerical ability a person has to deal with numbers. The proper use of mental arithmetic, logical reasoning, and number sequences.

Now that we have a proper understanding of the different categories under intelligence. Let’s try to beat the test!
