An intelligence quotient or IQ is a score derived from a set of standardized tests developed to measure a person's cognitive abilities ("intelligence") in relation to their age group. An IQ test does not measure intelligence the way a ruler measures height (absolutely), but rather the way a race measures speed (relatively).

For people living in the prevailing conditions of the developed world, IQ is highly heritable, and by adulthood the influence of family environment on IQ is undetectable.

IQ test scores are correlated with measures of brain structure and function, as well as performance on simple tasks that anyone can complete within a few seconds. IQ is strongly correlated with academic success, but can also predict important life outcomes such as job performance, socioeconomic advancement, and "social pathologies". Recent work has demonstrated links between IQ and health, longevity, and functional literacy.

Definition taken from Wikipedia, The Free Encyclopedia. Intelligence quotient.

Verbal
The capacity to use language in order to express yourself, comprehend stories and understand other people. Verbal abilities include reading, writing and communicating with words. It also measures your ability to employ verbal skills in reasoning and problem solving.

Spatial
The perceptual and cognitive abilities associated with the visualization and orientation of objects in space.

Numerical
The ability to reason and to calculate basic arithmetic computations. It also helps you to understand geometric shapes and manipulate equations. Mathematical intelligence is a strong indicator of general intelligence.

Logical
The ability to make deductions that lead rationally to a certain conclusion.

Pattern Recognition
The ability to see order in a chaotic environment.

General Knowledge
Mental skills acquired through education and experience.

Short-Term memory
The capacity for holding in mind, in an active, highly available state, a small amount of information.

The system can answer any test making basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication... etc.
Any test involving complex operations is beyond the scope of this web-page.

Example: 1 2 3 5 7 11 13... (Prime numbers)

The system can only solve tests human beings can solve.
Tip: Show the test to some friends and check if they can solve the problem

If the test is a numeric test, the series may be too short to find a pattern.
Tip: Add more elements to the series.

Sometimes the system finds more than one pattern in the test. The result shown is the most common pattern among the solutions found.

Example: 1 2 3...

This series can be the natural numbers series or the Fibonacci series, but the most common solution is the natural numbers series so the answer will be 4.

Tip: If the system shows a wrong answer, try to understand the answer and guess the pattern found by the system.

Tip: If the answer doesn't seem to follow any pattern, add more elements to the series.

Tip: Check if the series is logical. Show your series to some friends and see if they can solve it.

These tests do not require any higher education above the high school level. It does not evaluate the acquisition of specific knowledge.

The system is based on a brand new algorithm for numeric pattern recognition. Many problems in nature can be represented by numbers: if you find a pattern in those numbers, you can predict the future.

The main application is built on a new algorithm which is considered an AI algorithm. It also uses some other well-known AI algorithms, so the complete application is artificial intelligence software.

These algorithms don't perform complicated operations and don't require a powerful machine to process them.

This is a learning system. The explanations you send are used by the system to learn.
