Free Online IQ Test

Posted Tuesday, March 31, 2009 by Larry Crampton

Have you ever wanted to find out what your real IQ score is?

Here at FunEducation.com, we offer an IQ test for free that is PhD-certified and quite accurate. Many other websites offer a short 10 question quiz and claim to be able to come up with a score based on those couple answers, but there is really no way that short of a quiz can be accurate. Some of those sites don't even give you a real score, just generalities. What we offer is different. We have a PhD-Certified 43-question quiz that tests your cognitive performance in several key areas including word analysis and spatial reasoning.

Our Premium IQ Test is a free test, so find out your IQ score today!

What is a Spatial IQ Test?

Posted Saturday, March 21, 2009 by Larry Crampton

Most people are familiar with the concept of an IQ Test, but not too many know that there are actually several different ways of measuring intelligence. One method of measurement is verbal in which we use words and language to examine how smart you are. That is mostly true with our Free IQ Test.

Another method of measuring intelligence is by using spatial reasoning. This method primarily uses shapes and figures to have you visualize a problem and formulate an answer. If you do not test well on the standard IQ tests, then this method of spatial reasoning might just be for you. Typically those who do well in math do very well on spatial IQ tests such as our Free Spatial IQ Test.

Why not try both methods out and post your results as a comment to this blog! See which reasoning center, verbal or spatial, best fits you.

Toyota iQ & Intelligence

Posted Saturday, January 17, 2009 by Larry Crampton

The word, IQ, seems to be not only on the minds of consumers but also companies looking for product names. Toyota is unveiling one of their newest cars, the Toyota iQ. It should be out in Europe soon and may make its way to America shortly.

What does this choice of naming say about the car or about the marketing strategies employed by Toyota? One thing is clear - it's about intelligence. Intelligent decision making. Intelligent price. Intelligent economy. Intelligent consumer. Especially during tough economic times, intelligent decision making is extremely important.

At FunEducation.com, we offer a free and fun way to test your intelligence. Take our Online IQ Test and find out what your IQ score is. It is a PhD-Certified and accurate exam and best of all, it's a free IQ test!

A Mensa-Centric World

Posted Wednesday, December 24, 2008 by Larry Crampton

How much does an IQ score mean to our modern society?

That is a good "thinking question" to ask ourselves when going about our everyday lives. At Starbucks, how many of those people drinking coffee around you are called, Dr. so-and-so? How many have advanced degrees and belong to Mensa? How many might not even have a high school education?

Our society even today is still quite divided among those who call themselves intelligent and those who do not. Blue collar versus white collar. "Haves" versus "have nots". Those two groups have actually become more distant from each other over the last decade as the disparity in income levels between the rich and poor has increased dramatically.

Now, how does an IQ score fit in to all of this? As has been for centuries, those who are in the top half of the intelligence scale tend to be among the "haves" rather than the "have nots". That is good news for the Einsteins of the world, but not for the Simple Jack's.

Where do you fall in the scale? Take our Online IQ Test and find out now. This Free IQ Test is a certified scientific assessment of intelligence.

History of the IQ Test - Part 1

Posted Wednesday, December 10, 2008 by Larry Crampton

Most of us know quite well of what an IQ score and IQ test are. Legitimate IQ Tests such as our Free IQ Test use scientific data to help calculate an IQ score based on answered questions.

The idea of an IQ Test is often associated with the image of Einstein or The Thinker, but where does it come from? Did Einstein actually invent it? The answer to that question is "no". The first modern IQ Test was created in 1904 by Alfred Binet and was called the "Binet-Simon intelligence scale". This test was designed to help the French government in determining whether individual school children were of below average intelligence. This helped them identify which children needed to be in special academic programs.

The first person to coin the term, IQ, was William Stern in 1912. This now widely used term is simply an abbreviation of the German word, Intelligenz-Quotient (intelligence quotient), or I.Q.

Check back for the next installment of my blog series on the history of the IQ Test...

Are Left-Handed People Smarter?

Posted Tuesday, November 25, 2008 by Larry Crampton

I recently came across an interesting article on MSN asking the question, "Are Left-Handed People Smarter?". This article suggests that indeed left-handed people do historically have a higher IQ score than right-handed people. The downside is that they tend to have worse memories.

Famous "smart people" such as Isaac Newton, Ben Franklin, Albert Einstein, and almost all of our presidents over the last 30 years have all been left-handed.

If you are left-handed (or even right-handed), take our Free IQ Test and post your score on this blog.

IQ Test Breathalyzer

Posted Friday, October 17, 2008 by Larry Crampton

Ever wake up the next morning and regret an email you wrote when you had a little too much to drink the night before? Well, Google has the solution! Google recently released a ne

w Gmail feature called, Google Mail Goggles, which makes you take a short IQ test in order to determine if you are sober enough to write an email intelligently. This new feature is getting quite a bit of "buzz" (pun intended) on the internet. Whether it catches on or not is to be determined, but none the less it is a very interesting concept.

What if we need to take an IQ test before we can operate our cars? We would not only reduce DUI's but also reduce the number of people on the road making stupid mistakes that cause 10-car pileups on the freeway! If this mini-IQ Test policy was in place for driving a car, what would the minimum IQ be? Let's say it is 100 which is the average IQ score. Would you be smart enough to drive?

IQ Test Required To Vote

Posted Friday, October 17, 2008 by Larry Crampton

Should our country require an IQ Test in order to be a registered voter? What's your opinion?

There has been quite a bit of talk on the Internet on the subject especially in the wake of this upcoming hotly debated and historic election between John McCain and Barack Obama. As more and more people become a firm supporter of one side or the other, we are beginning to see more and more jabs back and forth from everyday voters going beyond the typical political mudslinging that comes with every presidential election. This one's personal!

George W. Bush, whatever his actual intelligence might be, is not generally known for his impressive IQ. Many Obama supporters have claimed that McCain is also IQ-challenged just like W. And the stabs go back to Obama as being inexperienced and not ready to lead the country.

But what about our voter's IQ? Should we have a minimum intelligence level ourselves in order to vote for a candidate? That might solve many problems but create many others. This country was founded on the principal that everyone has a say in who our leaders are - from the uneducated retail clerk to the highly educated doctor. We all should be represented according to our forefathers. True, the more educated might be better fit to see past the acting and empty promises, but there are no guarantees and our liberties would be sacrificed by such a policy.

Just for fun, let's say there is an IQ Test that is required before you can vote. The average intelligence is around 100 IQ points, so let's say the cut-off for voting in the election is 120 points which would mean that only the top 20th percentile could vote. Would you be included in this group? Take one of our Free IQ Tests and find out!

The Stocks Are Falling! Is Your Job?

Posted Saturday, October 11, 2008 by Larry Crampton

This week saw record losses in the US stock markets. The DOW Industrials closed on Friday at below 9,000 points, its lowest level in four years. Investor confidence is near an all-time low. The housing market, gas and food prices, and many other industries seem to ever more volatile than before. What about your job?

If you are in the construction, mortgage, or transportation industries most likely you have already felt the effects of a tightening economy. Perhaps you even lost your job or are one of the lucky ones who still has a job but for how long?

Taking a quiz like this would be a great free way to start doing something about the uncertainty in your career and not wait until it comes crashing down around you!

How much money does your neighbor make?

Posted Tuesday, September 16, 2008 by Larry Crampton

How much money does my neighbor (or coworker or friend or ...) make?

Even though most would not ask this question out loud, it is still in the back of many of our minds. This question is a part of our curiosity and maybe even our competitive drive. While it might not be a good thing to actually ask your neighbors or friends about their finances, it is definitely beneficial to understand the career options out there. This is especially true if you are struggling to make ends meet and want something better for the future.

What about checking out the MSN article, "How Long ‘Til You Earn Your First Million?". The article includes a list of current salaries for a variety of career options.

Ok, so now you know how much a neighbor or friend in a different career might be making, but how do you know which career is right for you?

Are You Management Material?

Posted Monday, August 25, 2008 by Larry Crampton

Most employees have asked themselves at some point in their careers if they have what it takes to be a manager and not just an employee. Likewise employers have asked the same question about their employees. Good managers are hard to find. Our Business Management Aptitude Test simplifies this process and allows you to get an good assessment of whether an employee is management material.

In addition to the Business Management Aptitude Test, you might also want to explore one of our other free tests such as our Career Test. The career test allows you to find out what careers best fit your personality. It is a PhD-Certified assessment, so you can be sure the results are accurate.

Where does the term, "IQ", come from?

Posted Wednesday, August 13, 2008 by Larry Crampton

You hear the term, "IQ", used everywhere. What's my sports IQ? What's my 5th Grader IQ? How well do you score on IQ Tests and Quizzes? How much lower is Bush's IQ than mine?

Where does this term actually come from and what does it stand for? IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient in English and is the translation of the German phrase, Intelligenz-Quotient, which was coined by the German psychologist, William Stern, in 1912. Modern IQ tests measure intelligence based on a Gaussian bell curve with a median value of 100. This means that 100 is used as the baseline for intelligence tests. Those who score below 100 on IQ Tests are considered below average and scores above 100 on IQ Tests are considered above average. Of course realizing a score on one particular IQ Test or other free quizzes such as the Free IQ Test does not deliver the entire picture of intelligence. Many people are more visual learners and others are more auditory learners. This is one factor that could affect intelligence scores.

When taking IQ Tests on our website, we recommend taking both the Verbal Free IQ Test and the Free Spatial IQ Test. That will test you in several different ways so you can be sure to get an accurate score.

Why Americans Aren't Dumb

Posted Monday, August 4, 2008 by Larry Crampton

Did you see the MSN article, "Why Americans Aren't Dumb?"

It outlines the suggestion that we are entering a dark age of reason due to our "WII-playing" ways but then counters that by saying that our average IQ has increased steadily for decades. Are we really Smarter than a Fifth Grader? Are we increasing in intelligence from generation to generation or are we losing ground?

Kids seem to be doing both. They are excelling at certain academic areas and yet the average American student can't pick out America on the map. But could the average American ever do this?

Why not try these concepts out yourself. We offer a Kids IQ Test and a Free IQ Test for adults. If you have kids, you can have them take their IQ Test, you can take your free quiz, and then both of you can compare the results! Post your results as a comment to this blog.

Spatial Intelligence

Posted Thursday, July 31, 2008 by Larry Crampton

The Free IQ Test on our FunEducation.com website consists of four distinct sections: quantitative, spatial, verbal, words, and fill in the blank. Each are designed to test a different area of intelligence to generate the final IQ score. From my experience, the most intriguing aspects of tests like this is the

elements of spatial reasoning. What I mean by spatial reasoning is thinking about objects and space and using those mental visual images to calculate answers. For some people, this can be quite challenging, for others it is quite easy.

The Free IQ Test is a 42-question test which will give a mostly accurate IQ score especially for a test of its brevity. If you want an even more accurate assessment, why not take the Spatial IQ Quiz which is a 200-item test and goes into more depth. This will give you the opportunity to test out those spatial reasoning skills! And best of all, it is FREE!
