| You and Your 1.Q.!
In recent years researchers have learned that the brain, which is divided into left and right
hemispheres, has assigned different mental tasks to one side or the other, Highly intelligent
people use both their left and right brain in equal balance Most people, because of social
emphasis, schooling and parental training, are left-brain dominant! They are taught from an
early age to develop such skills as: speech, language, writing, use of numbers and logic, letting
the skills of the right brain, which controls visual-spatial concepts, creativity, mechanics and
ESP and intuition, become lazy and underproductive That explains why we do well on certain
mental tasks and poorly on others
Some children find it difficult keeping up in school because they may be right-brain dominant
and have a tough time adjusting to left-brain skills Since schools emphasize left-brain skill testing, these children are considered ‘‘slowleamers”’ and yet they may be noless intelligent
The left brain can be characterized as being a “spotlight” thinker in that it sees the parts
before it sees the whole It classifies and deciphers information piece by piece and then decides
on a whole logical conclusion
The right brain can be characterized as being a “‘floodlight’”’ thinker in that it sees the whole before the parts Although creativity, ‘‘the birth of an original idea,"’ begins in the right brain, it is the left brain that systematically analyzes the idea and develops it
What is Intelligence?
There are many in-depth definitions, but to put it simply: intelligence is the ability of the brain to absorb information and to analyze it accurately and rapidly Most psychologists today agree that although most of our intellectual skills are genetically inherited, they are influenced
by and can be improved through social and environmental learning The more one develops the skill functions of both the left- and right-brain hemispheres, the more intelligent is that
person
Intelligence tests are used to measure the brain's skills, but in order to be fair and accurate as a measuring tool, intelligence tests cannot evaluate only left-brain skills Since LQ tests
are designed to measure how fast you see and react to information and not how much you
Trang 4What Does I.Q Mean?
Just as one’s car cannot exceed speeds greater than its engine’s horsepower allows, the human brain cannot respond to information greater than its own ability or capacity Having an
average IQ or inabilities and weaknesses in certain mental functions does not mean that one
will enjoy.a useless and unfruitful life or be unsuccessful inoccupational or business pursuits
One doesn’t have to push the accelerator of the car ta the floor and reach high speeds to enjoy a satisfying ride in the country
Having command of language, or being able to add numbers quickly, or being orderly
logical does not alone make one intelligent Being creative, mechanically inclined or artistic doesn’t, either Since the human brain is acomplex piece of equipment, it controls amultitude of skills and functions The more proficient one is at using the diversified skills of the brain, the more intelligent one is!
What Will the Cambridge I.Q Test Do?
This test is one of the most comprehensive and accurate self-scoring |.Q tests ever offered to the general public! It has been especially designed into 10 subtests in order to measure the
skills of both your left and right brain You will do well on some of these subtests and poorly on
others, unless you are a genius! This test will do three things:
(1) It will give you your personal 1.Q score! (A composite evaluation
of all 10 test parts)
(2) It will allow you to discover separately and individually where
your skill strengths and weaknesses lie
(3) It will indicate whether you are a left- or right-brain thinker, or
both — and how dominant one side is over the other, if at all
The Cambridge lQ test has been created from IQ test parts and scoring charts formerly used
by the U.S Government The Cambridge 1Q test has not been standardized and does not represent itself to be a clinical test It's purpose is to provide an indication of one’s IQ score and should not be used as a clinical value Keep in mind that this is a self-administered test
and that your I.Q score can be affected and influenced by interruptions, your test-taking mood or your failure to follow testing instructions, Enjoy it! It’s fun to take but don’t take the results

Please check your own test results by looking at the answers on Pages 30, 31 and 32, Count the number of correct answers for Tests 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 only This is called your “raw score.”
Enter your raw score for each of these tests in the appropriate spaces on Test Summary
Chart I on Page 26 After you finish entering the “raw scores” for the odd-numbered tests, check your answers for Tests 2, 4, 6, 8 and 10 andenter your raw scores on Test Summary
Chart II on Page 27
The odd-numbered tests are all left-brain skills and the even-numbered tests are right-brain skills In addition to learning your total I.Q score, this scoring procedure will enable you to establish if you have left-brain or right-brain dominant intelligence
After you determine your raw scores, you must convert them to scaled scores by using the
Scaled Score Conversion Charts on Pages 26 and 27 Go down each test part column separately and stop at your raw score Move across horizontally to the Scaled Score
Column on the extreme left or right Enter that scaled score on the appropriate Test
Summary Chart For example, arawscore for Test 1 might be 5 On page 26, goa down Test Column 1 and stop at raw score 5 Move across horizontally to the Scaled Score Column
and see a scaled score of 11
After you have determined all your scaled scores, total them for the odd-numbered tests; then do the same for the even-numbered tests Now you are ready to find your I.Q score
Turn to Pages 28 and 29, Find your total scaled score for the odd-numbered tests in the extreme left or right columns Go across horizontally and stop at the age group column that reflects your current age That number is your I.Q score for left-brain skills Example: If your total scaled score for the odd-numbered tests is 55 and you are between 30 and 34 years old, your I.Q score would be 100
Now follow the same procedure for the even-numbered tests scaled scores and find your
1.Q score for right-brain skills
_
Now add your two I.Q scores together and divide by 2 The result is your overall ].Q score By using the chart on the back cover, you can determine your intelligence bracket
Do not put too much emphasis on your I.Q score since all I.Q tests use different scoring values For example, this test uses a score of 130 points to establish genius Some I.Q tests use 140, or 150, or 160 points to establish genius, So your I.Q bracket is more important
than your LQ score
If there is a difference of less than 5 points between your left- and right-brain I.Q scores,
you show an equal balance of skill command between your left and right brain You indicate
no dominant side
If there is 5 or more point difference between your two separate [.Q scores, the one with
the higher score is your dominant brain side, and you are either a dominant left- or right-brain thinker The wider the point difference the more dominant that brain side
