Funny IQ Games
The intelligent quotient is used for assessing intelligence and the term "IQ" was proposed by William Stern in 1912. This term is in common use, but it is just a projection of the measured ran on the Gaussian bell curve. This Gaussian curve has 100 as average with a 15 units deviation. Different tests have various deviations, but this test is the most effective and most well known. IQ tests are associated with mortality, with parents' social status and very important, with parents' IQ. The inheritance of this quotient has been studied for almost a century, and this inheritance mechanism is still in discussion between researchers. IQ tests are used as predictors for achievements in education, in sociology for studying the distributions of people with certain IQs and in studying the relationship between this quotient and other personal variables. Since the early 20th century, the IQ scores, in average, have been rising and this happened in the lower half of the range.

This is a matter of interest for many people, and it is quite interesting for them too see what is their IQ, and compare it with the average or with friends', family or colleagues' quotients. There are a lot of IQ tests versions, and they measure the intelligence in different aspects: logical reasoning, geometrical vision and other sectors of brain activity. It has been researched if the brain size has a direct link with IQ's value and the results were that only 6% of the gray matter tisue has an influence on this score. There has been proven that isolation and certain environmental elements influence the IQ, and it seems to be developed in the childhood.

A lot of people like to test their intelligence, and see which is their IQ, and there are plenty of online resources for this. Very interesting are the IQ games, which help you determine this value in a funny manner. The test has changed its face, and now there are many different versions from the initial one: latest versions are funnier and they don't have anymore that serious look, which made people feel like some experiments in a lab.
There is a link between the IQ score and the age, and also between the IQ and gender, and this thing is often interpreted as discrimination, but the facts are real, and it is proven that the IQ can grow with the age, and that there are slight differences between women and men scores.
