Ask your loved ones not to disturb you, turn off the phone, turn off the TV and radio. You should not discuss tasks with anyone while working and do not allow anyone to help you.

Correct answers to the IQ test

Once you have completed this test, you can calculate your results. The table following the test contains the correct answers to all tasks. For each match between your answer and the correct one, award yourself one point. Now calculate the sum of your correct answers. The higher your score on this test, the higher your current level of intellectual development, the better your abilities for further learning and cognitive activity.

If the test score you received is 24 points or more, then the level of your intellectual abilities allows you to begin mastering a wide range of professions right now. In addition, your level of intellectual development is sufficient for you to be able to count on fairly high success in performing activities in any creative class profession.

And if your score exceeds 30 points, then you can be proud of your results. Few people reach such a high level of development of intellectual abilities.

Test scores of less than 16 points are considered low.

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

Secondly, if you did not receive a high enough score on this intelligence test, it can be assumed that you will experience certain difficulties in the process of professional training and further practical activity in the field of creative professions. These difficulties may be caused by one or more reasons:

1) Insufficiently high level of development of the ability to concentrate attention on the tasks being solved.

2) Insufficient skills in material analysis, abstract thinking, logical reasoning, quantitative calculations, spatial imagination.

3) Insufficient amount of available knowledge, limited vocabulary, low literacy.

4) Insufficiently high tempo of mental activity and the ability for prolonged mental stress.

To successfully complete the test, a certain level of development of verbal, logical, numerical and spatial abilities is required. These qualities are very important in order to be able to learn, absorb new information, analyze complex situations and make reasonable decisions. If you do not possess these qualities to the proper extent, then it may be difficult for you to engage in complex types of intellectual activities, such as studying, problem solving, making non-standard and responsible decisions, organizing your own work and the work of others, management, planning, control, research , construction and design.

It is within your power to develop your intellectual qualities. After all, the level of development of intellectual abilities is not a person’s height or blood type, which cannot be changed. Intellectual capabilities are not only a condition of learning, but also the result of previous learning. Intelligence tests are not intended to measure the inclinations of mental development, but only the level of development of skills and abilities of cognitive activity that you have developed today.

Every person, sooner or later, has thought about how smart he is. No matter how strange it may sound, the grades given to us at school and university may not always be an accurate indicator of intelligence. You can find out how smart and quick-witted you are using a special intelligence test. One of the popular questionnaires at the moment is the Raven IQ test.

How and when did the test appear?

The Raven IQ Test is a technique developed in 1936. John Raven with Roger Penrose, also known as the Progressive Matrix Scale for assessing intelligence quotient and level of mental ability, as well as logical thinking. This technique can assess the mental development of anyone aged 14 to 65 years.

The questionnaire was created in accordance with the traditions of the English school of studying intelligence, according to which the most effective way to measure intelligence was tasks of comparing abstract figures.

In total, psychologists have created several versions of the test:

  • "Standard Progressive Matrices" (1938);
  • "Colored Progressive Matrices" (1947);
  • "Advanced Progressive Matrices" (1941).

It is noteworthy that the first version was designed for all ages: from the smallest children to the elderly.

John Raven - creator of the test

John Raven was born in 1902 in Great Britain. He became acquainted with psychology at King's College London in 1928, then began working as an assistant to Penrose, who conducted research in the field of mental defects. Fascinated by this area, Raven tested children and adults in different places: at home, in schools, at work, using the Stanford-Binet intelligence scale. And yet, Raven considered this test not very successful and the result was the Progressive Matrices questionnaire, which he created together with Penrose.

Raven was an outstanding teacher, his theories had a significant influence on the formation of the scientific worldview of many students.

How to take the test

The final version of the Raven IQ test, now widely known, is suitable for determining the level of intelligence of people of various professions and social status from 14 to 65 years old and regardless of gender.

The questionnaire consists of 60 tasks, each of which requires you to match the missing fragment to a picture. The drawing, as a rule, contains various symbols or geometric shapes.

The tasks in the method are arranged in order of increasing complexity. The shapes or drawings stand in a certain pattern that you must determine. Having identified it, you can find the missing fragment of the picture.

Please note that each task has only one correct solution. You are given 20 minutes to complete the test.

During the process, be extremely careful and take your time before giving an answer. Let yourself think. Move sequentially from task to task, follow the order of tasks and do not skip them, otherwise it will be considered an incorrect answer. If you still failed to logically understand the sequence and find the correct element, you can try to guess which of the images could fit in the empty space.

Test results

As a result of passing the Raven test, you will be able to find out the level of your intellectual development in points and get acquainted with recommendations for improving your abilities.
