New Delhi. In today’s time, it is considered very important to know IQ i.e. “Intelligence Quotient” i.e. the level of intellectual ability. IQ tells how much a person’s ability to think, understand and solve problems is compared to normal people.

IQ test is used to assess education, career, job and mental development. This shows in which areas the person is strong and in which areas there is need for improvement.

What is your IQ?

IQ level is not completely determined by birth, rather it is a complex mix of genetics (about 40-60%) and environment (education, upbringing). Although innate abilities do play a role, brain capacity can be developed, and IQ scores can improve with training throughout life, they are not fixed at birth.

Therefore, it is important to develop your thinking and learning skills instead of just focusing on marks. IQ is just a number, but it is a way to understand where your thinking and learning abilities are. With right direction and practice every person can increase his intellectual capacity.
