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.

Are children dumber the older the father?

Posted Friday, March 13, 2009 by Larry Crampton

The links between the age of a baby's parents when the baby is born and a baby's intelligence or congenital disorders has been debated for decades. Most doctors agree that older parents giving birth carry a much higher risk of birth defects than younger parents.

What about intelligence? A study published in the New York Times confirms that babies born of older fathers generally do have a lower IQ than those of younger fathers. The differences are not terribly significant, but they are evident in the study.

What is your child's IQ score? Have him or her take our PhD-Certified Kid's IQ Test and find out now! Our online IQ test is one of the most reliable children's intelligence tests available. It has been developed and normed using over 100,000 subjects.

Does Television Help Babies Learn?

Posted Tuesday, March 3, 2009 by Larry Crampton

Parents are usually faced with many challenging decisions when it comes to their child's education. These tough decisions start at a very early age for their children especially since most researchers agree that the first five years of a child's life are the most important for growth and development. One of the biggest decisions might just be about something as simple as whether or not to expose your child to television programming at an early age.

How does TV affect babies younger than 2 years old? Does educational programming actually increase a child's IQ score? Does it diminish a child's intelligence quotient? Have no affect whatsoever?

WebMD published an interesting study indicating that watching television at a very early age has no significant effect on a baby's growth.

Want to know your child's IQ score? Take our Kids IQ Test and find out now. We offer a PhD-certified exam that is highly accurate for children ages 6-16.

Improve Your Brain in the New Year

Posted Thursday, January 1, 2009 by Larry Crampton

As we start to dig into the new year many are fast at work on their resolutions. Once again the most common resolution is to lose weight. This focus on the body is indeed important, but sometimes overlooked is the mind. Our brain needs just as much of a workout as our thighs or belly.

A great way to keep our mind in shape is to take tests and quizzes designed to challenge ourselves. Our online IQ Test is a great free quiz that does just that. Or perhaps take our "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?" quiz to challenge yourself with actual 5th grade materials.

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 3

Posted Thursday, December 18, 2008 by Larry Crampton

In my last 2 posts in this series about the history of the IQ test, I discussed the history and conception of the modern IQ test from the early half of the Twentieth Century.

Over the last 100 years, there have been many variations and revisions to some of the earlier IQ tests from the 1900's. One of the commonly accepted IQ tests, called the Stanford-Binet IQ Test, is currently in its 5th revision. This revision included the re-norming of the test based on 4,800 individuals across a wide demographic sector of the population. This study took into account demographic bias such as gender, ethnicity, culture, region, and socio-economic status. Age is also an inherent factor in all valid IQ test calculations.

The Stanford-Binet test is comprised of 5 different subsections measuring Fluid Reasoning, Knowlege, Quantitative Reasoning, Visual-Spatial Processing, and Memory.

In comparison, our scientifically validated IQ Test and Kids IQ Test also measure similar factors, but are validated using a much wider audience. Our latest version of the Kids IQ Test, for example, is validated with over 100,000 test-takers. That validation group is over 20 times higher than the revised Stanford-Binet test.

History of the IQ Test - Part 2

Posted Saturday, December 13, 2008 by Larry Crampton

This is the second installment of my blog series about the History of the IQ Test. Previously I discussed that it was Alfred Binet in 1904 who invented the modern concept of an IQ Test and William Stern in 1912 who first coined the term, IQ.

The original formula used to calculate an IQ score was based largely on the mental age of a person. This formula consisted of 100 times the mental age divided by the chronological age. If the mental age was consistent with the chronological age (meaning the mental age and chronological age were the same), then you would have an IQ score of 100. This is considered to be "normal". If your score is higher than 100, then your mental age is beyond your years. If you score lower than 100, then you have a lower mental age than what is considered normal for someone your actual age.

Ever wonder where the term, "moron", came from? Well, it is related to some of the original IQ testing from the early Twentieth century. Goddard, director of the Vineland Training School in New Jersey, used this IQ score concept to classify those of below average intelligence. Those who score below 100 are either categorized as "normal", "idiots", or "imbeciles". According to Goddard idiots have a mental age of 3-7 years old while imbeciles have a mental age below 3 years old. He then coined the term, "moron" to describe someone between the "normal" and "idiot" range. So, calling an imbecile a moron is actually a complement!

Stay tuned for my next installment of the History of the IQ Test where I discuss the test's progression into what we have come to know as an IQ test today.

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.

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.

Does Music Enhance your IQ Score?

Posted Friday, November 21, 2008 by Larry Crampton

One very interesting and hotly debated theory among intellectuals is the idea that music directly affects intelligence. Some live their lives by this theory such as expectant mothers who play Mozart for their unborn babies in hopes of increasing their child's IQ score once they are born. Of course there are skeptics as well.

There was an interesting article in the Washington Post the other day about whether math and music are connected. This article explores the idea that music indeed can have an impact on performance on math sections of IQ tests not only for children but also for adults. Do those who listen to classical music score higher on IQ tests such as our certified Online IQ Test? What's your opinion?

Are Your Kids Prepared for Standardized Testing?

Posted Friday, November 7, 2008 by Larry Crampton

The holiday season is a great time to begin practicing for this year's upcoming standardized practice tests that most students will be taking in the spring.

These tests are becoming ever more important as they are used as a basis for admission to some private schools and colleges, as well as used for evaluating the overall performance of student and school.

Many states have adopted a national test such as the ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic Skills) and the TerraNova test. Other states have a more custom test that they have their students complete such as California's STAR testing. Whichever version of the standardized practice tests your student is taking this spring, we have practice materials for you.

Please feel free to explore our BrightEducation.com website for the practice test package that best fits your needs and budget. We have several options starting at $29.97.

Visualization Intelligence

Posted Wednesday, November 5, 2008 by Larry Crampton

How well we put together our presentations for our job can say a lot for who we are. A sloppy presentation with unintelligible charts and graphs can not only say that we are lazy but can also vie towards our level of visual intelligence. On the flip side, a good presentation can attest to our success. With computers now de facto and no longer an impressive demonstration of our futuristic thinking, now more than ever do we need to focus on our visual acuteness when it comes to creating effective presentations.

Raffael Marty from IT World in his article, "How do you create good visualisations?", describes the foundation technique for effective visualizations. He outlines the importance to be expressive and not to overdo it when it comes to color. Spatial intelligence can also play a key factor in visualizing good charts and graphs.

We offer a great test called the Spatial IQ Test which specifically tests your IQ using spatial reasoning. If you take that test in conjunction with our verbal IQ Test, you can get an idea as to how your IQ score changes when using the different reasoning centers.

Maybe now you'll know why that presentation turned out like it did!
