There are many types of IQ tests, some better than others. These tests are given by licensed psychologists who receive special training in how to administer the tests and interpret results. IQ tests can be given from two years of age through adulthood, with most children taking them from ages five through twelve. Many IQ tests today are biased toward mathematical, logical, and linguistic forms of reasoning rather than creative and spatially-oriented types of reasoning.
