All 11 Levels Of Human Intelligence Explained, From IQ 20 To Genius — Where Do You Actually Fall?

Somewhere on this planet there is a person who can hold forty moves of a chess game in their head. There is also a person who cannot hold the idea that tomorrow exists. Both are human, and both brains are doing exactly what they were built to do. This is the whole ladder — all eleven levels of human intelligence, from the floor of the scale to the very top — and by the end you will know exactly which rung you are standing on. This is not a scoreboard for who deserves respect. It is a map. You are on it somewhere, and every rung on it is quietly excellent at something and quietly charges you for it.
