The Intelligence Quotient (IQ) or IQ (Intelligence Quotient) is a standardized measure that roughly estimates the intellectual/mental ability of an individual compared to the general population.
What does the IQ measure
IQ tests are designed to measure a sample of abilities that mainly concern:
Logical and inductive thinking.
Problem solving ability.
Information processing and adaptation to environmental demands.
It is important to note that IQ tests do not measure all aspects of human intelligence, such as emotional intelligence (EQ), creativity or other types of abilities.
IQ Scales and Levels
The IQ is expressed on a scale where the mean value is set at 100, with a standard deviation of 15 points. This means that:
Average (Normal intelligence): Approximately 85-115.
Borderline IQ: 70-85. People in this range can often attend regular schools.
Mental Retardation: Usually below 70.
High IQ/Genius: Scores significantly above 130.
Usefulness
Intelligence assessment can be useful in clinical and educational settings, for diagnosing learning disabilities or neurodevelopmental disorders, and for certifying disability. It is also sometimes used as part of the personnel selection process in certain occupations.

Anhedonia is the inability or significantly reduced ability of a person to experience pleasure, joy, or interest in activities that they would normally find pleasurable (e.g., hobbies, social interactions, eating, sexual activity).
Characteristics
Loss of interest: The person loses interest in all or almost all activities that used to bring them pleasure.
Emotional numbness: Often described as a feeling of emptiness or emotional numbness, where the person "exists but does not live."
Reduced mood: It is a core symptom of many mental disorders, most notably major depressive disorder, but also schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and substance use disorders.
Causes
Anhedonia can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
Mental disorders: It is a common symptom of depression and other mental illnesses.
Biological factors: Linked to disturbances in brain neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, that are involved in the reward and pleasure system.
Chronic stress or diseases: Chronic stress, chronic pain, or neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease.
Treatment
Anhedonia is a treatable condition. The approach depends on the underlying cause:
Psychotherapy: Cognitive-behavioral therapy and other forms of psychotherapy can help.
Medication: Antidepressants or other medications may be recommended by a psychiatrist, sometimes with adjustments to target anhedonia.
Other treatments: In some cases, techniques such as transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) have shown promising results, especially in cases of resistant depression.
Self-care: Focusing on small, enjoyable activities and gradually reintegrating into social interactions can help regain a sense of joy.
