There are several different types of IQ or general mental ability tests. In general they are trying to measure how quickly and accurately you can solve problems, to give an indication of raw intellect. The most complex IQ test is a series of tests that can take several hours to complete and can have up to 16 subtests within it. There are diagrammatic IQ tests which test your ability to spatially recognise patterns and rotate objects and there are more general problem solving IQ tests. General Mental Ability IQ Tests There are general mental ability (GMA) IQ tests that measure your ability to quickly solve a variety of different problems from verbal, to numeric to diagrammatic.
