Since the turn of the 20th century,
psychologists have tried to pin down
what it means to be smart. More than 100
years later, they’re still arguing about
the best methods to spot intelligence.
But that squishiness hasn’t stopped
organisations from NASA to Mensa from
adapting psych assessments into some
of the trickiest exams ever to meet an
HB pencil. Ready to give ’em a go? Time
starts... well, whenever you want.
