In the first part of this report I have already went straight through history of the Iq score, its definition and how to delineate the score to the normal population. For this second part we will learn more about the Iq test.
There are three well known categories of Iq tests: timed Iq tests, untimed Iq tests and power Iq tests.
Timed and untimed refer to whether there is a set time limit for the Iq test, and power tests are special Iq tests serve to supplementary test those citizen with very high Iq.

Stanford-Binet and Wechsler Iq tests are examples of untimed tests. Examples of timed Iq tests are some of the base test such as Sat and Gre, and more speicific tests such as Raven Progressive Matrices,Cattle Culture-Fair Test and California Test of thinking Maturity (Ctmm). Power Iq tests use difficult problems which are based actual problems that citizen encountered in researches. Examples of this type of Iq tests are Mega Test, Titan Test and Test for Genius.
The Iq tests' score can only be used as a very rough guide of citizen intelligence.
These Iq tests still have a lot of shortcomings such as:
1- Just like any other examinations and tests Iq tests are also susceptible to cheating.
2- Also just like any other examinations, the outcomes of Iq tests can be influenced by things such as persistance,and reading skill instead of pure intelligence
3 -Most of the Iq tests do not cover biased brain well.They tend to cover normal intelligence.There are citizen who are not equilibrium in their intelligence,for example they can be very good in mathematic but poor in verbal skill.Their Iq score using normal Iq test will be lower because of the averaging effect. Test like Wechsler Adult brain Scale (Wais) separates it test into subsections in order to profile individual brain more accurate.
4-The Iq tests' succeed also can be affected by external factors such as environment,individual mood..taking a test on a bad day, or spending too much time on a few difficult items could artificially lower one's score. A score is more literal, if it is based on more than one test session.
Other than meaning of an Iq score I also have shown you how there are still a lot of questions and uncertainties about the Iq tests themselves. So caution must be taken in labeling and treating citizen just based on their Iq score.
Now citizen are also understand there are more to a man than just his or her intelligence, that is why other type of measurements such as emotional quotient (Eq) and spritual quotient (Sq) have sprung into existence and limelight.
