1. What is IQ?

IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is a score derived from standardized tests designed to measure human intelligence. This calculator provides a simple self-assessment estimate based on your self-reported cognitive abilities.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses a simple self-assessment approach:

Where:

• \( IQ \) — Intelligence Quotient score
• \( \text{Self Assessment Score} \) — Your self-evaluation of cognitive abilities (0-200)

Note: This is a simplified assessment. Professional IQ tests provide more accurate measurements.

3. Understanding IQ Scores

Score Interpretation:

• 130+ — Very Superior (Gifted)
• 120-129 — Superior
• 110-119 — High Average
• 90-109 — Average
• 80-89 — Low Average
• 70-79 — Borderline
• Below 70 — Extremely Low

4. Using the Calculator

Instructions: Enter your self-assessment score (0-200) based on your perception of your cognitive abilities compared to others.

Q4: What factors influence IQ?
A: Genetics, environment, education, nutrition, and early childhood experiences all play roles.

Q5: Are there different types of intelligence?
