What do intelligence tests measure?
Intelligence tests are used to assess a respondent's intelligence. Since intelligence is just as multifaceted as humans themselves, there are quite a few different approaches for assessing it.

What are intelligence tests used for?

Academic Testing
This is an ideal solution for universities, academies, and universities of applied sciences. It is also perfect for testing large groups and selecting from a large pool of applicants (such as for admissions testing for higher education). Identify the students with the highest potential for completing their studies even before they start and benefit from a low drop-out-rate.
