Visual Motion Intelligence Test To Measure IQ


A science study by researchers at the University of Rochester have found a link between the brain's ability to filter out background movement and its intelligence. Test reveals that those who automatically suppress visual background movement scored higher in standard intelligence tests.

IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is a score that is determined by a series of tests. The score reveals the value of intelligence a person has. The average score set for a specified age group is 100 (tests differ from age group to age group). About 95% of people score an IQ between 70 and 100.

A study by James R. Flynn showed a consistent increase in IQ over time. Known as the Flynn effect, IQ scores increases three points every ten years. Observations reveal that the Flynn effect is consistent across regions.

IQ tests are updated periodically to standardize the test scores to an average of 100 points. The latest study on the relationship between visual movement and intelligence may help develop a natural, non-verbal and culturally unbiased way of determining one's IQ.
