Find out how you compare by taking the short tests below, hosted by Imperial (none of your data will be collected for the individual tests). Each should take 2-3 minutes.

Could playing computer games make you better?

EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Does gender make a difference?

VERBAL INTELLIGENCE

And discover more about all the tests and what they reveal in The Great British Intelligence Test, on Monday 4th May at 9pm, 主播大秀 Two and on iPlayer.
