When Spiegel Online recently teamed up with the Mensa organization for gifted individuals in Germany to invite readers to take an intelligence test, the response was huge. Hundreds of thousands of readers took part. This book offers you a chance to test yourself. Simply complete three sets of 33 tasks in the fields of language, numbers and diagrams. The analytical section explains how to assess your own results.
In the second part of the book, the authors explain the reasoning behind this. What is the significance of intelligence testing in today’s world? Can you “learn” to be intelligent? How much of an impact does intelligence have on career success? And what is everyday life like for high flyers?
