According to science, these four questions can reveal your intelligence. So can you answer them correctly?

Have you ever thought that you are the smartest person in the room? Experts now think there are five ways to determine someone’s intelligence, and only one of them is IQ.

Two science YouTubers Mitch Moffit, a biologist, and Greg Brown, a science teacher, presented a deep dive into intelligence tests on their channel SCIENCE ASAP.

And the pair highlighted the fact that assessing someone’s brainpower is about more than just IQ.

Although the measure – IQ is short for intelligence quotient – ​​is the best-known way to measure intellect, it is by no means the only one.

In the clip, which has been viewed more than three million times, they highlight other measures, such as emotional, musical and visual intelligence.

Here, MailOnline outlines the top four questions selected by Mr Moffit and Mr Brown. The answers are at the end of this article.

QUESTION 1

The first test concerns emotional intelligence, which helps measure a person’s ability to both empathize and communicate effectively with others.

Can you determine what emotion the man’s face below is trying to convey? Is it a) shame b) sadness c) amusement or d) shame.

QUESTION 2

The second question is an example of a question that would be on a standard IQ test.

IQ stands for ‘intelligence quotient’ and is the best-known measure of intelligence.

It measures a person’s ability in mathematical skills, memory, spatial perception and language skills.

This is combined with a person’s age to determine the final IQ score.

IQ tests have been widely used for years, but as Mr Moffit and Mr Brown point out, they are not the only measure of intelligence.

In this example of an IQ question, you must determine the next image from a selection of eight, which must be the next in a series of shapes.

From the selection of eight, can you determine which image should be next in a series of shapes in the box?

QUESTION 3

The next question determines your musical-rhythmic intelligence, one of the alternative ways scientists conduct research in the field of intelligence.

They are part of what experts call “multiple intelligences,” which essentially means that people can be smarter in several ways than a standard IQ test would suggest.

For example, some people may be more intelligent when it comes to being able to interpret and distinguish patterns within a collection of sounds.

This is called a musical-rhythmic intelligence test or a distorted melody test and involves hearing a series of music and determining which sound is ‘off’.

Watch the video below to see and, more importantly, hear the question. Fast forward to the 1 minute and 27 second mark.

Make sure you pause after number three to ensure you don’t get spoiled with the answers below.

QUESTION 4

The fourth and final question is aimed at testing a person’s visual intelligence.

This is done by asking someone to memorize a series of ‘ziggerins’, which are complex shapes.

Look at the image below for 20 seconds. Then move the slider to the right and try to remember which of these three shapes was in the previous arrangement.

Mr Moffit highlights how people with high scores on visual intelligence tests do not necessarily score high on IQ, but are incredible at a range of other tasks.

“It could mean excelling at tasks like matching fingerprints, interpreting medical X-rays or tracking aircraft on radar screens,” he said.

Another intelligence test is based on testing a person’s ‘visual intelligence’ by asking them to remember a series of so-called ‘ziggerins’ complex artificial shapes

The final intelligence measure discussed in the video – and the one that is most difficult to assess – is known as bodily-kinesthetic intelligence.

There is no specific question here, but it refers to the natural ability to handle objects or use their bodies skillfully, for example in sports, juggling or dancing.

Mr Moffit emphasizes that this has proven difficult to measure compared to the other intelligence tests.

This is because it is difficult to find people who have no experience with an activity, or a similar activity, to compare them.

For example, Mr. Moffit referred to a study of four-year-olds taking ballet in which physical-kinesthetic intelligence could not be assessed because some children had already taken lessons or danced at home on their own time.

In conclusion, Mr. Moffit emphasized that it was critical to remember that IQ is not the entirety of determining a person’s intelligence.

“What this study highlights is that there are so many ways to be smart, and it’s not just about taking an IQ test,” he said.
