How About taking a Practical Intelligence Quotient to know your ‘real’ IQ? PQ — is a new game for the PlayStation Portable that touts itself as an alternative to the written IQ test.

The game has been created by Masuo Koyasu, a Kyoto University psychology professor, who believes our brains possess seven “independently functioning units of intelligence rather than one single unit.”

Each question there are 100 in all is a level of the game involving a maze loaded with obstacles. You guide your avatar across a 3-D grid, stacking boxes, riding escalators and flipping door switches to get from the starting point to the goal within a set period of time, usually no more than a few minutes.

Once you finish the game, there’s not much reason to return. Test results include a sliding personality scale ranging from Pondering Type to Action Type. You can also post your PQ score online and compare it with others.
