Free IQ Tests

What is the full form of IQ? Is it Intelligent Question? Is it Idiotic Questions? Well not! IQ stands for Intelligent Quotient and is a score given to a person after testing his level of knowledge, i.e. general knowledge. This method of giving scores was developed by a German psychologist to test the knowledge of children and the level of their education. But, you can't check all the intelligence of a human being by using IQ tests. IQ questions are generally based on facts and formulas. They do not take into account personal factors, experiences, wisdom, etc.

The sole aim of taking IQ tests is to test one's knowledge and compare the score with others. IQ score solely depends on how much brain you utilize. If you use your brain in a proper manner, you can become a genius. Thinking on a problem until it is solved allows your brain to work more then you would normally use it. Researchers have also claimed that if you develop new ways of learning things then you have started to utilize your brain power. Most of the people are not even using 0.1% of their brain, but better call it mental capacity as the brain is just the physical object and not one's mind.

As mentioned earlier, intelligence can't be checked with the help of an IQ test. This theory of German psychologist who quoted the IQ method to test the intelligence was strongly opposed by Alfred Binet, a French psychologist. He argued that developers of IQ theory were trying to say that the level of intelligence in every human being is fixed and it can't be increased. Since then there have been many disputes of IQ tests and new theories are being developed each one claiming its theory to be the best.

If you are interested in taking free IQ tests to judge your level of knowledge, then there are many websites available on the internet. You can check http://www.quizrocket.com for free IQ tests, intelligence tests, quizzes, and other such tests. Another website is http://www.iqleague.com. This website generates several random questions each time you take the test and at the end shows the result that displays your intelligence number among other competitors and ways by which you can increase your IQ level. http://www.free-iqtest.net this website allows you to take 20 questions at a time and when the results are shown you have the option to take more tests. http://www.iqtestforfree.com this website allows you to take free IQ tests with a total number of 9 questions giving you a time of 300 seconds. The instructions at the website depicts that the test is meant for people of the age group 15 or more.

Like these websites, there are several more websites available on the internet that allow you to take free IQ tests. But, let me remind you again, these IQ tests are not a measure to test your level of intelligence as each test is based on different subjects and you might score well in one test that asks questions related to your topic and you might fail in ones that present questions which you don't like at all.
