From the Author
Suddenly its cool to be clever!! And why not? Despite the huge capacity
of the human brain, we only utilize, on average, two per cent of our
potential brainpower. There is, therefore, enormous potential for us to
expand our brainpower considerably and regular testing is one of the key
methods of doing just that. Included in this book are 400 brand new
questions, 10 complete tests in total, all designed to challenge and
expand your mind. Use the book exactly as you wish, either as valuable

practise for improving your performance on IQ tests in the future, as a
guide to assessing your performance against the clock, or simply as a
collection of 400 brainteasers to dip into at random and attempt what
questions take your fancy at the time. But above all have fun and enjoy
the questions!

Customer Reviews

Fun but disappointing maths questions
If you want to improve your IQ, then Ken and Philip's Test Your IQ book should provide enough questions to challenge your brain.

I found the questions slightly different from average questions set by others, especially the visual-spatial and verbal questions. Helps improving my lateral thinking.

I am very disappointed with some of the maths questions, e.g. what's 13/17 divided by 52/51, this is primary school maths and even a child can do it.

All in all, good set of questions if you are weak on verbal questions like me.
