Today I have done an IQ test in a website which I think is recommendable.
The test measures several areas of intelligence including mathematical ability, reasoning or logic, pattern recognition, linguistic, and visual-spatial ability. After finishing the test, there will provide you an IQ report with an IQ score and a subscore for each of the intellectual area. Therefore, areas of intellectual strengths and weaknesses can be known.
Mathematical Intelligence –
A test of your mathematical ability and numeric reasoning through word problems as well as basic arithmetic computation.
E.g.: Gretchen yawned 72 times in a staff meeting that lasted for 4 hours. On average, how many times did she yawn per hour?
> 18 times
> 288 times
> 28 times
> 9 times
Reasoning or Logic Intelligence –
A test of your ability to find similarities among different concepts and to manipulate ideas on an abstract level.
E.g.: Some sniglets are blue. Everything blue has a straight edge. Therefore, which of the following must be true?
> Some sniglets have a straight edge
> Everything blue is a sniglet
> All sniglets have a straight edge
Pattern Recognition Intelligence –
A test of your ability to recognize patterns in letters, numbers and words.
E.g.: What word continues the following sequence? PLEAD LABEL ALBUM LUSTY
> Utter
> Frown
> Lunch
> Dream
> Charm
Linguistic Intelligence –
A test of your ability to identify relationships between pairs of words, basic vocabulary and comprehension.
E.g.: DAWN is to DAY as WINTER is to
> SPRING
> NIGHT
> SEASON
> AUTUMN
> SUMMER
Visual-Spatial Intelligence –
A test of your ability to manipulate objects in your mind and to imagine how they would look from different perspectives.
E.g.: How many triangles are in the diagram attached?
> 24
> 28
> 32
> 35
There will also be statistics and an answer key provided. Therefore, you can know where your score falls on the IQ distribution curve, and thus, you are normal or abnormal ( By the way, abnormal can be regarded as obtaining too low IQ score, but also, too high IQ score ). And the answer key is for your review, the percentage of test takers got the answer correct is also given for each question.
I have got an overall IQ score of 122, and I am strong in mathematical intelligence; while weak in reasoning or logic and pattern recognition intelligence. The result is not too good and not too bad, however, I found that I just pretend to be low b in my daily life.

Pay attention to the time you used, the website will count the time elapsed for you.
