Test Your IQ: 400 New Tests to Boost Your Brainpower!

Rating:
Summary: Interesting book
Review: The book has 10 tests with 40 questions each, and with a time limit of 90 min. While I by no means am an expert in IQ books, I think this book is a little annoying. I am not sure that the tests have been really standardized, and there is no chart for calculating an IQ apart from a relative scale. In general I do not think that the tests appear to be 'culture fair'. People who do not have English as first language can forget about solving the questions where English is needed. All together the tests and questions are varied, mistake-free and well thought, but I think that the average person would find other books more interesting. This book is for people who as 'sport' has IQ testing and the authors, well-known IQ writers, must also be said to belong to that category. The questions are certainly challenging and in the upper end of what one finds in IQ test books. I recommend the book but it is not for the beginner.
