Improving IQ, or intelligence quotient, involves engaging in activities that stimulate cognitive abilities and promote mental development. While there is some debate about the malleability of IQ, there are certain strategies and activities that may help enhance cognitive function.
Here are some 10 IQ questions which you can try and check your IQ level.
1. LIGHT BULB is to FILAMENT as WHEEL is to:
A. Electricity
B. Road
C. Spoke
D. Automobile
Answer
C. Smoke
Explanation
Imagine a light bulb and a wheel. In the light bulb, there's something called a filament that makes light when electricity flows through it. Now, in a wheel, there's an important part called a spoke. It connects the center of the wheel (hub) to the outer edge (rim) and helps the wheel stay strong and steady. So, just like the filament is crucial for the light bulb, the spoke is crucial for the wheel. That's why the correct answer is "spoke."
2. Which one of the following five options is least like the other four?
A. Brass
B. Copper
C. Iron
D. Tin
Answer
A. Brass
Explanation
Out of these choices, only brass is different. The other four options are single elements, like the building blocks of stuff. But brass is special because it's not just one element; it's a mix of different elements. So, brass is the only one that's an alloy.
3. Which one of the five letters is least like the other four?
A. F
B. C
C. D
D. E
Answer
D. E
Explanation
Look at the letters A, B, C, D, and E. The odd one out is E. Why? Because it's the only one that's a vowel (like in "apple" or "elephant"), while the others are consonants (like in "bat" or "cat"). So, E is different because it's the only vowel in the group.
4. What does a time watch do?
A. Takes you to the future
B. Tells time
C. Donuts
D. All of the above
Correct Answer
B. Tells time
Explanation
A time watch is made to tell the time. It's a device that shows you what time it is right now. That's its main job. The other ideas, like going to the future or donuts, don't have anything to do with what a time watch is supposed to do. So, those ideas are not right when we're talking about a time watch.
5. What is 1+1-1?
A. 2
B. A window
C. 1
D. 0
Correct Answer
C. 1
Explanation
The right answer is 1. Here's why: when you add 1 and 1 together, you get 2. Then, if you take away 1 from that, you end up with 1. So, the correct answer is 1.
6. Who was the first man on the moon?
A. Lance Armstrong
B. Neil Armstrong
C.George Washington
D. My mom
Correct Answer
B. Neil Armstrong
Explanation
He's the first man who took the very first steps on the moon. This happened on July 20, 1969, when he and Buzz Aldrin landed there as part of the Apollo 11 mission. Armstrong's famous words, "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind," made him a big part of history as the first person to walk on the moon.
7. How many months in a year have only 29 days?
A. 3
B. 4
C. 1, but not every year, but once every 4 years
D. 1
Correct Answer
C. 1, but not every year, but once every 4 years
Explanation
February is a bit special. Most months have 28 or 30 or 31 days, but February can have 29 days. This happens every four years, and we call those years "leap years." In a leap year, February gets an extra day to make the calendar match up with how long it takes the Earth to go around the sun. In regular years, February just has 28 days. So, February is the only month that changes the number of days it has depending on the year.
