那让我们来看看无处不在的智商测试——IQ 测试，也被称作智力商数。
It is a standardized test that assesses bothverbal and non-verbal abilities.
这是用来评估语言和非语言能力的标准化测试。
Study this geometrical pattern sequence right now.
现在，让我们来研究一下这个几何图案序列。

Basically, each row has a diamond, a square and a triangleas well as a solid bar, alined bar and an empty bar.
基本上每一列都有菱形、方形和三角形。同样的，也有一条实心、条纹和空白的条状物。
Since this bottom row has a triangle and diamond,we know the next one’s a square, and it also has alined and an empty bar, so we know we need a solid bar.
因为最底层有一个三角形和菱形，所以我们知道下一个是方形。加上这一列同样有条纹和空白条状物，所以我们知道需要一个实心的条状物。
The direction of the bar is also the samein each line.
每一列条状物的方向也是一致的。
Though IQ tests are common, other ways totest if you are smart do exist.

让我们来测试你的音准吧！

那首歌的声音对你来说不是很顺？
Song one,Song two,or song three
第一首,第二首,还是第三首？
If you guessed clip 3, you have a good senseof pitch.
如果你猜的是第三首，说明你有好的音准感官。
Though not fully understood, you could betone deaf and still have perfect hearingbuthow your brain interprets the sounds may makeit difficult to interpret pitch.
虽然原因还不清楚，但也许个音痴也仍然可以拥有完美的听觉。但是你的大脑解读声音的方式可能让其难以解读音准。

那么，关于你的视觉智能呢？

这个任务需要用到 ziggerins——也就是不存在真实生活中的新物体，以此来准确地测试你。
If you are good at the ziggerins task you mayhave higher visual intelligence which is notthe same as IQ.
如果你对 ziggerins 任务很在行，你也许有较高的视觉智能，不过这和 IQ 不一样。
But it could mean that you will excel at taskslike matching fingerprints, interpreting medicalX-rays, or keeping track of aircraft on radardisplays.
不过这可能表示你很擅长一些工作，比如：比对指纹、解读医疗 X 光片或者追踪雷达图上的飞机。

一项研究显示，4 岁的芭蕾舞课堂的学生无法有效评估韵律能力，因为有些学生已经上过课或者在家跳舞，而这已经让他们有了预先的知识。
As well many tests require a combination ofmany types of intelligences, so it’s hardto study just one.
就像很多测试需要很多才智的综合，所以这很难去仅仅测试一种才智。
