IQ Test

An IQ test measures a person’s cognitive abilities, such as reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and understanding language. It provides a score—called an IQ score—that reflects how an individual's thinking skills compare to others of the same age. While it offers a snapshot of certain mental functions, it doesn't capture all types of intelligence or a person's potential. IQ tests are used for various purposes, including educational placement and assessing cognitive strengths or challenges, but should be considered alongside other factors for a complete understanding of an individual's capabilities.
