Psy-Q: A Mind-Bending Miscellany of Everyday Psychology

'A clear and engaging explanation of many psychological phenomena you've vaguely heard of, and many more you'll be glad to learn about'--Steven Pinker

How intelligent am I? How good is my memory? Am I a conspiracy theorist? Do women really multi-task better than men? Does 'emotional intelligence' matter? Do my blue eyes make me less trustworthy? And what do my preferences for loo-roll hanging say about me?

Your 'Psy-Q' is your psychological intelligence - the sum total of how much you know about your own mind and the way it works. Packed with dozens of interactive tests, quizzes, puzzles, games and illusions, Dr Ben Ambridge's Psy-Q will uncover the secrets behind the way you think and perceive the world around you.

Debunking common psychological myths and shedding fresh light on old favourites, Psy-Q is an entertaining, illuminating and often surprising guide to the secret psychology of life.

'A fresh and often iconoclastic take on even the most celebrated experiments'--Mail on Sunday

*Brain-teasers and other delights that will challenge, surprise and amuse'--Guy Deutscher, author of Through the Language Glass
