Intelligence quotient (IQ) is an age-related measure of intelligence and is defined as 100 times
the mental age. The word µquotient¶ means the result of dividing one quantity by another, and
intelligence can be defined as mental ability or quickness of mind.

c




An intelligence test ( is, by definition, any test that purports to measure intelligence.
Generally such tests consist of a graded series of tasks, each of which has been standardized
using a large, representative population of individuals. This procedure establishes the average IQ
as 100. It is generally believed that a person¶s IQ rating is hereditary and that the rate of
development of a person¶s mental age remains constant until about the age of 13 years, after
which it slows up. Beyond the age of 18 little or no improvement is found.


 

Tests that measure the IQs of children are standardized and an average score is recorded for each
age group. Thus a child of 10 years of age who scores the results expected of a child of 12 would
have an IQ of 120, calculated as follows: (mental age/chronological age) 100 = (12/10) 100 =
120 However, because little or no improvement in IQ rating is found in adults, they have to be
judged on an IQ test whose average score is 100 and their results graded above and below this
norm according to known scores.

During the past 25±30 years IQ testing has been brought into widespread use by employers
because of their need to ensure that they place the right people in the right job from the outset.
One of the main reasons for this in today¶s world of tight purse strings, cost cutting and low
budgets is the high cost of errors in employing the wrong person for a job, including the cost of
readvertising and interviewing new applicants and of reinvestment in training.


 


As IQ is hereditary, it is not possible to increase your IQ. It is, nevertheless, possible to improve
your performance on IQ tests by practising the many different types of question and by learning
to recognize the recurring themes. The questions in this book are typical of the type and style of
question that you are likely to encounter in actual tests and are designed to provide valuable
practice for anyone who may have to take this type of test in the future. It is our belief that by
practising different types of IQ tests, and by attuning your mind to the different types of
questions you may encounter, it is possible to improve by a few vital percentage points. It is
these few percentage points that may prove crucial in increasing your job prospects and may
mean the difference between success or failure when attending one of the many job interviews
that include an IQ test.

The tests that follow are not, therefore, standardized, so an actual IQ assessment cannot be given.
A little intelligence test for you - no cheating. Some of these questions are from an MBA
entrance test. There are 10 questions. Do not look at the answers found at the end of this
document, that would be cheating. Write each of your answers down, it makes a difference.
Good Luck!

Here is the collection of some really nice 

  for interview or quiz
preparation. Answers of the 
 &
  are provided for the reference at the
bottom of this article.

1. A man decides to buy a nice horse. He pays $60 for it, and he is very content with the strong
animal. After a year, the value of the horse has increased to $70 and he decides to sell the horse.
But already a few days later he regrets his decision to sell the beautiful horse, and he buys it
again. Unfortunately he has to pay $80 to get it back, so he loses $10. After another year of
owning the horse, he finally decides to sell the horse for $90. What is the overall profit the man
makes?

2. A bus run at 100 km/hr top speed. It can carry a maximum of 6 persons. If speed of bus
decreases in fixed proportion with increase in number of person, find speed when three person
are traveling in bus.

3. A man wanted to enter an exclusive club but did not know the password that was required. He
waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said,
"twelve." The member replied, "six" and was let in. A second member came to the door and the
doorman said, "six." The member replied, "three" and was let in. The man thought he had heard
enough and walked up to the door. The doorman said, "ten" and the man replied, "five". But he
was not let in. What should have he said?

4. There are 20 pieces of bread to divide among 20 people. A man eats 3 pieces, woman eats 2
pieces and a child eats half piece of bread. Tell the correct combination of men, women and
children so that they are 20 people in total and everyone gets the bread. Note that a man cannot
eat less than 3 or more than 3. A woman cannot eat less than 2 or more than 2 and the child
cannot eat less than half or more than half piece of the bread. Ëou have to tell there are how may
are men, women and children in those 20 people.

5. A cube of side 4cm is painted with 3 colors red, blue and green in such a way that opposite
sides are painted in the same color. This cube is now cut into 64 cubes of equal size.

1. How many have at least two sides painted in different colors.

2. How many cubes have only one side painted.
 3. How many cubes have no side painted.
4. How many have exactly one side not painted.

6. How many squares are there on a normal chessboard?

7. Three people picked 65 apples altogether. At the first tree they each picked the same number
of apples. At the second tree they each picked 3 times as many as they picked at the first tree.
When they finished at the third tree, the group had 5 times as many apples as they had when they
started at that tree. At the fourth tree the group picked just 5 apples. How many apples did each
person pick at the first tree?

8. 4 criminals are caught and are to be punished. The Judge allows them to be freed if they can
solve a puzzle. If they do not, they will be hung. They agreed. The 4 criminals are lined up on
some steps (shown in picture). They are all facing in the same direction. A wall seperates the
fourth man from the other three.

To Summarise

y Man 1 can see men 2 and 3.

y Man 2 can see man 3.
y Man 3 can see none of the others.
y Man 4 can see none of the others.

The criminals are wearing hats. They are told that there are two white hats and two black hats.
The men initially don't know what colour hat they are wearing. They are told to shout out the
colour of the hat that they are wearing as soon as they know for certain what colour it is.

y They are not allowed to turn round or move.

y They are not allowed to talk to each other.
y They are not allowed to take their hats off.

Now the question is "Who is the first person to shout out and why?"
9. At a party, everyone shook hands with everybody else. There were 66 handshakes. How many
people were at the party?

10. Ëou have to measure exactly 4 liters of water, but you only have a 3-liter bottle and a 5-liter
bottle. How do you do it?

 

1. Consider the trade-story as if it describes two separate trades, where: In the first trade, the man
buys something for $60 and sells it again for $70, so he makes a profit of $10. In the second
trade, the man buys something for $80 and sells it again for $90, so he makes again a profit of
$10.

Conclusion: The man makes an overall profit of $10 + $10 = $20.

Ëou can also look at the problem as follows:

The total expenses are $60 + $80 = $140 and the total earnings are $70 + $90 = $160. The
overall profit is therefore $160 - $140 = $20.

2. 100 Km/hr because that is the top speed of the bus.

3. The man had to reply the number of characters in the word the Doorman was asking. He
should have replied "Three" instead of "Five".

4. There are 5 women, 1 man and 14 children.

5. Here are the answers.

1. Cubes that have at least two sides painted in different colours are 24 + 8 = 32.
2. Cubes that have only one side painted are 24.
3. Cubes that have no side painted = 8.
4. Cubes that have exactly one side not painted = 0.

6. There are actually 204 squares on a chessboard. Surprised! Here is the

explanation. There are 64 (1x1) squares. There are 49 (2x2) squares. There
are 36 (3x3) squares. There are 25 (4x4) squares. There are 16 (5x5) squares.
There are 9 (6x6) squares. Then there are 4 (7x7) squares and 1 big 8x8
square. So, there are a total of 204 squares on a normal chessboard.

7. One Apple

8. Man 1 will shout first. If Man1 will not shout then Man 2 surely shouts.

Reason: Man 1 can see the other two criminals? hats. If the hats are same color then he told his
hat is opposite color of remaining two hats. So he shouts first. If Man 1 does not shout, it means
that the hats of Man 2 and Man 3 are of different color. So Man 2 sees the color of Man 3 hat and
he tells that the color of his hat is opposite to the color of Man 3 Hat.

9. With two people, there is one handshake. With three people, there are three handshakes. With
four people, there are six handshakes. In general, with n+1 people, the number of handshakes is
the sum of the first n consecutive numbers: 1+2+3+...+n. Since this sum is n(n+1)/2, we need to
solve the equation n(n+1)/2 = 66. This is the quadratic equation n2+n-132 = 0. Solving for n, we
obtain 11 as the answer and deduce that there were 12 people at the party.

10. Fill the 3-litre bottle and pour it into the empty 5-litre bottle. Fill the 3-litre bottle again, and
pour enough to fill 5-litre bottle. This leaves exactly 1 litre in the 3-litre bottle. Empty the 5-litre
bottle; pour the remaining 1 litre from the 3-litre bottle into the 5-litre bottle. Fill the 3-litre bottle
and pour it into the 5-litre bottle. The 5-litre bottle now has exactly 4 litres.
