one learns new things.

Cozy environment without any distractions and better conducted in the

instance properties or pattern shared by a variety of specific items or events.

Language. This is because the questions only required to identify which one
does not fit with others and arrange alphabetically.
9. Do you think our backgrounds affect the scores in IQ TEST? Please elaborate
and give examples based on yourself or anyone you are familiar with.
Yes. I managed to score for the language questions maybe this is because my
parents prefer to speak English at home and my father was an English
instructor in Army Academy. So, it influences me and helps a litter bit to
enhance my linguistics.
