Don't ask yourselves "how intelligent are you" but "what are you intelligent in"

Apparently the only flaw in IQ isn't that it isn't an accurate measure of intelligence as it actually is, but that it only quantifies your general intellectual ability.
By that it means that while it may rank you according to that ability, but it won't shed light on your individuals abilities that constitutes your intelligence.
As we all know, intelligence is composed of multiple aspects. By that I don't mean that there are multiple intelligences, such as being gifted in sport or in the field of art as academia and the media are trying to force on us so that various morons might feel good about themselves, but the actual spectrum of human intelligence, being spatial thinking, verbal reasoning, working memory, reaction speed and so on.

Knowing your IQ won't give you much because your final IQ score is calculated by your performance on the various subtests into a unified IQ scale. But how would you know if you've excelled in the verbal department or was your performance in math that which made up for sucking at the former?

It's time to take a real intelligence test, /sci/, instead of those meaningless 15-minutes IQ tests you're always so proud of. The people at Cambridge Brain Sciences have compiled a test that measures the entire spectrum of human intelligence and will give you a brake down of your performance in each and every area.

Except for one part, on the colour and word differentiation part where you had to say blue or red, I found it incredibly easy, never even stopped, got about 90 with no mistakes, my friends who also did the test breezed the other bits and didn't get anywhere near that...

I never really took them to mean much as I never liked them myself, they are all about shapes and it cannot truly represent your intelligence. I took one back in high school in test conditions and got 152 but I don't use it to show intelligence, I do that by actually doing well at things.
