MV2G IQ Assessment

1.2 Explanation of your IQ . According to this IQ test, you are extremely intelligent. We can reliably say that your IQ is in the top 1% of the population. You are “highly gifted” or “genius”. With your high level of intelligence, you will have many advantages over “normal” people: you learn quicker, you solve problems faster, you are able to grasp difficult concepts. As you will see, a high IQ such as yours is correlated to many other positive attributes: greater work success, more stable marriage, higher monthly income. The MV2G IQ Test measures only one part of your cognitive ability. It does not measure many other dimensions that would be part of a broader IQ definition such as kinesthetic abilities and musical abilities. In addition, the IQ score, standing alone, is not a good predictor of success. Factors like emotional intelligence are at least as important as IQ. You can measure your Emotional Intelligence on IQElite.com

2.1 Definition of Intelligence and IQ Definition of Intelligence: Intelligence can be defined as a property of the mind that encompasses many related abilities such as the capacities to reason, to plan, to solve problems, to think abstractly, to comprehend ideas, to use language, and to learn. It is important to note that intelligence is not about how much knowledge or expertise a person has; rather it is about how fast a person is able to acquire knowledge and expertise as well as how well a person is able to perform tasks at which he or she has no expertise. Definition of IQ: The IQ is a measurement of intelligence. IQ presumes that there are differences in intelligence among people of a population and expresses, with one score, how intelligent a person is in relation to the rest of the population.

2.2 Value of Intelligence and Value of IQ Tests . Many contend that intelligence does not relate to cognitive abilities, and many criticize IQ tests for not measuring intelligence. This criticism is not completely unfounded. It is true that intelligence is not clearly defined nor is it easily measured. By contrast, other human dimensions (height, weight, muscular strength) are self-defining and can be measured objectively. However, we can make certain indisputable statements about IQ and intelligence as stated in the book, The Bell Curve: • There is a general cognitive ability on which human beings differ. • All standardized tests of academic aptitude measure this cognitive ability to some degree, but IQ tests, expressly designed for that purpose, measure it most accurately. • IQ scores match well to what people mean when they use the word intelligent. • Properly designed and administered IQ tests are not demonstrably biased against social, economic, ethnic, or racial groups.

2.3 IQ as Predictor of Success . The criticism against IQ tests can be countered by the successful use of IQ as a predictor of success in various domains. Although IQ is not a perfect predictor of academic or work success, even critics recognize that there is a strong correlation between IQ and success. 2.3.1 IQ → Academic Success The IQ test was originally designed as a predictor of the academic success of school children. Only later in the 20th century was its use extended to the work place. While it is true that there are many other factors that determine success at school, IQ repeatedly is shown to have a high correlation with academic success.

. 2.3.2 IQ → Professional Success The IQ can predict success at work. Measuring the job candidates' IQ and considering IQ in the recruitment decision is a useful tool. However, the use of IQ test in the work setting is even more controversial than in the academic setting. Fewer than 50% of employers worldwide use IQ tests as a means of evaluating job candidates. There is a wide variation among countries. These are some examples: • 55% — China and Spain • 30% — India and France • 3% — U.S and Germany Scientific research suggests that while an IQ test is not a perfect predictor of the future success of a job applicant and while many other factors are relevant to work success, IQ should be considered. This is because the IQ of a candidate correlates highly with future success at work. Recently, researchers compared the effectiveness of various methods of selecting employees: IQ tests, unstructured interviews, personality tests and biographical questionnaire. The result was unambiguous: the single best predictor of work success is IQ. According to Schmidt and Hunter, “for hiring employees without previous experience in the job, the most valid predictor of future performance is intelligence.“ IQ test scores predict performance ratings in all occupations. That said, for highly qualified activities (research, management) low IQ scores are more likely to be a barrier to adequate performance, whereas for minimally-skilled activities, athletic strength (manual strength, speed, stamina, coordination) is more likely to influence performance. Support for the usefulness of the IQ comes also from Justin Menkes in his article in the Harvard Business Review titled “Hiring for Executive Intelligence”. Menkes states: “Despite the very real shortcomings, IQ tests are still a better predictor of managerial success than any other assessment tool. The business world's reluctance to use intelligence testing of any kind has robbed companies of a powerful tool for evaluating candidates for employment or promotion.”

2.3.3 IQ → Wealth . As the IQ predictor is a good correlator to success at work, it also correlates with income and wealth. In essence, the higher your IQ, the more likely you are to have a higher income, accumulate more wealth and attain a greater social status. The IQ of the world's self-made millionaires is estimated to be around 115. The IQ of the world's self-made billionaires is estimated to be around 120. Your IQ of 149 is extremely high, higher than that of the world's millionaires and billionaires. This does not necessarily mean that you will be wealthier than a billionaire, but it does mean that you have the intellectual capacity to accumulate a lot of wealth. However, Emotional Intelligence is at least as important for success at your job, your career and your potential for wealth as your IQ score. You can learn your emotional intelligence score by taking the EQ test: http://a.iqelite.com/eq/info/.

2.3.4 Other Correlations . In The Bell Curve, the authors, Richard J. Herrnstein and Charles Murray, show that IQ is a valuable predictor of many life situations such as poverty, unemployment, premarital pregnancy, divorce and crime. In fact, IQ is a better predictor than parental socioeconomic status or education level. This table appears in The Bell Curve:

The table shows some astonishing facts about the relation of IQ to various life experiences: • If you have a low IQ, you are 6 times more likely to be unemployed than if you have a high IQ. • If you have a low IQ, you are almost 3 times more likely to divorce within 5 years after marriage than if you have a high IQ. • If you have a low IQ, you are 16 times more likely to have an illegitimate child than if you have a high IQ. • If you have a low IQ, you are 10 times more likely to go to jail than if you have a high IQ. • If you have a low IQ, you are 15 times more likely to live in poverty than if you have a high IQ.
