About This Quiz
Whether you're a Harvard graduate or a high school dropout, you've got plenty of intelligence that will carry you far in life. And that's exactly what we're going to find out more about today: your intelligence. No need to study for this quiz either, since we believe that real intelligence goes beyond standard tests and exams.Â
Now you might have doubts about how intelligent you are based on some of your grades in school. It's important to note that while grades are are a piece of the puzzle when it comes to intelligence, there are hundreds of other factors to consider! For example, have you ever heard of emotional intelligence? This type of intelligence has to do with perceiving someone's thoughts and emotions based on nonverbal cues (though some verbal cues also play a role in this). In other words, if you have a skill for "reading" other people and sensing when someone is angry, sad or hurt, then we'll be the first to tell you that you're a pretty intelligent person! So no matter what kinds of grades you got in school, it's time to start with a clean slate on this intellectual quiz! And just remember: you'll always be an intelligent person to us.
