intelligence test
Cognitive ability measure
An intelligence test is a standardized assessment designed to measure cognitive abilities—reasoning, problem-solving, memory, and processing speed.
The most familiar is the IQ test, which produces a score meant to represent general mental capability: She scored well on the intelligence test.
Such tests remain controversial, with ongoing debate about what they actually measure and whether the results reflect innate ability or educational opportunity.
