An intelligence test is a standardized assessment designed to measure a person's cognitive abilities, such as reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding. These tests often include various types of questions, including verbal, mathematical, and spatial tasks, to evaluate different aspects of intelligence. The results of an intelligence test are typically expressed as an IQ score, which compares an individual's performance to that of a larger population. While these tests can provide insights into cognitive strengths and weaknesses, they are not definitive measures of a person's overall intelligence or potential.
