" What you learn and how you learn matters!". This is the quote given in the book. How true. The book is a short read and the author has written about the importance of IQ in the current world. He shared several myths about IQ which are being propagated and also clarified several notions about it. This is very important as there is a lot of hype surrounding IQ in many schools across the world.

"Every individual is born up with certain qualities and personality traits which make him or her different from others. Trying to figure out someone using a certain set of criteria can never be considered as valid. This book can act as an eye-opener with the perception of using an IQ level to track down one's intelligence and consider him or her to be a superior and the other one as inferior based on just a mere set of numbers . I loved the explanation and approach of the author .

IQ Myth or Truth by Zeeshan Zafar is a non fiction book that explores the accuracy and utility of IQ Tests . Also is it the right paradigm to evaluate a young mind? IQ tests have always made me curious. A test to test one's intelligence. Seems interesting right? But many of my previous preconcieved notions I had regarding the test faced a little shaking after reading IQ Myth or Truth. From the beginning one may gauge that the age old standard was not a standard in first place.

While reading this book I remembered an old doubt. We all have heard the story of Rabbit and Tortoise, where the tortoise wins the race with patience and continuity. This story was narrated by mom and I still remember the doubt I asked her - why was there a race between the rabbit and the tortoise? (This is the only question mom couldn't answer.) IQ or Intelligence Quotient is a very complicated test for me. Not for is testing, but I find it complicated because it has a collection of abstract and mathematical questions. A person who is comfortable answering mathematical/numerical question may be not able to answer the abstract questions or he/she may take more time to solve it and vice versa, but the final answer is a percentile of both with the time taken to complete the test. Does this truly measure one's intelligence?

IQ - Myth or Truth is a simplified and well researched work of the author which will enlighten us with the actual importance of an IQ Test. An IQ Test came into being just an idea to find out about one's intelligence and ability. But as and when with time people have started considering it to be the final result of one can turn out to become in the future. A high IQ Level may not assure you success because it's merely based on one's knowledge and skill which keeps on updating and upgrading with time . Although we have some well known people who had done miracles in their fields with a great IQ Level but there still exists many who achieve excellence irrespective of where they stand on their IQ Test. I liked the topic of the book as it will help many people with clarifying the actual motive of an IQ Test.
