This review is from: Check Your IQ (Paperback)

"Check Your IQ"? Not quite, I'm afraid, at least not if you're looking for an assessment of IQ itself.

This book consists of a series of 8 tests designed to exercise you intelligence. Although the test cannot be used as a mean to measure your IQ directly, a score chart is provided at the end of each test to give you an approximation of the ranking of your intelligence, from "Average" to "Exceptional". As one of the author of this book is a puzzle editor of the British Mensa Magazine, the tests in this book are in fact extremely close to the ones you would get if you were to take the standardised IQ test as provided by Mensa. However, this also means that there is nothing new or exciting about them either, and the questions are all very similar. In fact, we have probably all came across such types of questions before.

If you are already familiar with IQ tests, and are becoming bored with the "Which is the odd one out?" or "What comes next in the following sequence?" types of questions, then you won't be too excited about this book either. But if you're planning to take the Mensa standardised IQ test, this book can be used as a warm-up.
