This IQ test had been developed by several Associate Professor teams at the Brain Institute over several months of repeated revisions. It was far more accurate than other IQ tests on the market.
The score brackets were roughly the same as those of traditional IQ tests:
Intellectual Disability: Below 70
Below Average Intelligence: 70–90
Normal Intelligence: 90–110
Above Average Intelligence: 110–130
Ordinary Genius: 130–150
Super Genius: 150–200
The test's upper limit was 200. The master and disciple had both tried it a few days earlier. Xiang Xiaotong had done it absentmindedly while eating and scored 190 in the end. Song He had breezed through it with a perfect score, remarking that the whole thing looked like a set of giveaway questions and had left his brain cells yawning.
Both of them had memorized the answers, so they graded the tests at lightning speed.
For each test they graded, they drew a box above the student's name and wrote down the IQ score.
115, 120, 120...
110, 125, 125...
115, 120, 125...
Most students scored around 120, placing them squarely in the Above Average Intelligence bracket.
Those scores were actually quite good. The children had only just entered fifth grade, and their brains had not finished developing. If they continued developing at this rate, their peak IQs would probably reach around 130 to 140, barely crossing the genius threshold.
"The first-generation Brain Spring has a more obvious effect on children," Song He said quietly.
"Of course. Drinking Brain Spring while the brain is still developing is naturally more effective than drinking it after the brain has fully developed." Xiang Xiaotong frowned. "But I still think it's too low. Even the Red-haired Gorillas can reach 120 or 130. Right now, these children are about on par with the Red-haired Gorillas in the
