IQ tests are designed so that the results are described with an average IQ of 100 and such a spread that 50% of people have an IQ between 90 and 110 and 25% each have an IQ below 90 and above 110. An IQ value of less than 70 is often classified as .

IMPORTANT! Students should be given a printed copy of the test, and once again, after they have read the instructions, reminded that they only have 15 minutes to complete it. It should also be noted that it is better not to focus on completing a specific task. You can return to it later. (Handouts and answers to them are given below)

Intelligence Diagnostic Questionnaire (IQ)

The integral indicator of general mental abilities (IP) is calculated by the number of correctly solved problems (1 point for each correct answer).

Processing results and interpreting the test CAT (Short orientation, selection test by V.N. Buzin, E.F. Vanderlik. Intelligence Diagnostic Questionnaire - IQ)

The higher your score on this test, the higher your level of intellectual development today, the better your ability to further learn and cognitive activity.

It is advisable to begin analyzing the results by determining the level of general mental abilities. To do this, the number of correctly solved problems (IP) is correlated with the level scale.

The value of the IP level of general mental abilities:

13 or less - low

14-18 - below average

19-24 - average

25-29 - above average

30 and more - high

A low result may not be reliable enough due to possible errors in compliance with testing conditions and understanding of instructions. Therefore, a low test result using this method can in no way be a sign of psychological professional unsuitability for any specialty. Only testing using other methods can provide reliable information about psychological contraindications to certain professions.

General mental development is determined not only by the sum of points received for the number of correctly solved problems.Qualitative analysis The test is carried out according to the following parameters:

- which tasks were solved most successfully (verbal, mathematical, spatial);

- what are the characteristics of thinking (generalization, flexibility, inertia, etc.).

Thus, tasks 10.13 require the development of arbitrariness, high concentration and distribution of attention.

Tasks 2, 5, 6, 7, 9, 11, 16, 19, 24, 28, 30, 43, 47, 48 determine general level awareness and development of linguistic abilities, which characterize the quality of humanitarian education.

The level of education in the field of exact sciences is reflected in the success of completing numerical tasks to establish patterns with geometric figures (13, 17, 22, 27, 33, 42, 44, 46, 50).

Tasks 29, 32, 49 indicate the level of spatial orientation and abstract logical thinking person.

Arithmetic average test performance for a number of age groups of students:

Fifth grade students – 10.5 points,

Sixth grade students - 13 points,

Seventh grade students - 15 points,

Eighth grade students – 17.5 points

Ninth grade students – 18.5 points.

To successfully complete the test, a certain level of development of verbal, logical, numerical and spatial abilities is required. Verbal abilities are responsible for the acquisition of meaning different words, understanding verbal analogies, performing logical operations with individual words. This quality is associated with understanding the text, the ability to distinguish between the literal and figurative meaning of a statement, and correctly interpret it, abstracting from the meaning of a specific phrase. The degree of logical thinking indicates the ability to understand cause-and-effect relationships, search for patterns, and the ability to draw correct conclusions. Numerical abilities are the ability to perform quick and accurate calculations, logical reasoning, arithmetic skills, and understanding of mathematical operations. Spatial abilities include spatial imagination, mastery of geometric concepts, and the ability to mentally operate with objects on a plane and in space.

It is within your power to further develop these qualities. The level of development of intellectual abilities is not a person’s height or blood type, which are genetically determined and which cannot be changed. Intellectual capabilities are not only the conditions of learning, but also the result of previous learning. Intelligence tests do not measure aptitude or potential. mental development, but only the level of development of skills and abilities of cognitive activity that you have developed today.
