Should You Take an IQ Test?
If you're curious about your cognitive abilities, taking an IQ test might be an exciting and informative experience. However, it’s important to view the results with a balanced perspective. While your IQ score can provide insights into certain strengths, it’s not the sole determinant of your intelligence or future success. Skills like creativity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence are equally important in life.
IQ tests have long been used to assess intelligence, offering a glimpse into a person’s cognitive capabilities. While they provide valuable insights into logical reasoning, problem-solving, and memory, they are not the final word on human potential. Intelligence is complex and multi-dimensional, and understanding your IQ is just one part of the bigger picture.
In the end, an [gbi iq test](https://iqtestfree.io/) can be a useful tool, but it should be seen as one measure among many in understanding yourself and others. Whether you're considering taking an IQ test or just curious about intelligence, remember that your abilities and potential extend far beyond a single score.

Season finally ends for Korea's Euro stars
The season has finally ended for those Korean stars who ply their trade in Europe. The two World Cup qualifiers earlier this month went pretty well with a 7-0 win in Singapore followed by a 1-0 victory over China in Seoul.
As an aside, three of the top five biggest attendances in the second round of qualification were recorded in Seoul. The capital’s World Cup Stadium has seen sellouts of 65,000 or so for all three games against Singapore, Thailand and China. It is seriously impressive that, seemingly regardless of the opponent, soccer fans in Korea come out in huge numbers to support the Taeguk Warriors. This passion needs to be harnessed for the greater good of the sport in the country, though this has been said many times over the years. And has been hard to replicate.
The win over China meant however that a busy European season has finally come to an end. The big stars can now have a very well-earned rest.
Perhaps the happiest of those will be Lee Kang-in. The 23-year-old has just finished his first season with Paris Saint-Germain. It was a successful one as he ended up lifting the French league championship as well as the cup. The attacking midfielder has started to establish himself as a force to be reckoned with in Paris.
The low point is obvious and came in February when he came under huge criticism for what happened at the Asian Cup in Qatar. For the very few who don’t know, Lee was involved in an apparent scuffle with Son Heung-min before the semifinal, which ended with the senior star dislocating his finger. With Korea then losing to Jordan in chaotic fashion the next day, it became a huge issue. After the tournament finished, Lee had to travel to London to apologize to Son in person.
It has officially blown over. Lee starred in Singapore, scoring twice with one of those strikes a beautiful goal. He then scored the only goal against China and is now one of Asia’s biggest and best players.
Lee will be desperate for the new season to start and great things are expected. In contrast, Son will be ready for a rest after an up and down season for Tottenham Hotspur. Next month, he turns 32 and will relish taking it easy for a while. It won’t be too long however as his club will be in Seoul on August 3 for a pre-season exhibition against Bayern Munich.
Kim Min-jae will be in action for the German team. The defender also knows that next season is a crucial one as he struggled at times during the second half of the season. After arriving in Bavaria from Napoli, he initially looked settled but then on return from the Asian Cup in February, he wasn't quite the same.
"He was completely reliable up until he went to the Asian Cup in January, he completely saved us throughout the season because he was the only player that really played every single game and didn’t take any breaks or didn’t need any breaks either," Bayern boss Thomas Tuchel said as the season ended.
His overall analysis was mixed. “It’s not overly positive, it’s not overly negative, it’s about 50-50. It’s just enough to meet the expectations here at Bayern.”
There have been rumors that Kim could be let go. If he stays, next season will be a crucial one. But then the same can be said of all the Koreans in Europe.

Real Madrid, who tasted Vinicius and Mbappe's goals, defeated Espanyol 4-1
Real Madrid, a prestigious Spanish professional soccer team, has achieved four consecutive wins and eight games of undefeated play in official matches, with key players such as Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe scoring goals.
<br />
Real Madrid defeated Espanyol 4-1 in the 6th round home match of the 2024-2025 Spanish Primera Liga (La Liga) held at the Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain on the 21st (local time).
<br />
In the first half, neither team scored, and in the second half, it was Espanyol, not Real Madrid, that scored first.
<br />
In the 9th minute of the second half, during a counterattack, Jofre Carreras' cutback from deep on the left side of the penalty box to the center was deflected off Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois' foot and resulted in an own goal.
<br />
Real Madrid struck back four minutes later with Dani Carvajal equalising.
<br />
Jude Bellingham's powerful shot from a one-on-one with the goalkeeper was deflected and landed in front of Carvajal, who slammed it into the empty net.
<br />
Real Madrid, with momentum, succeeded in turning the game around with Rodrygo's goal in the 30th minute of the second half. When Vinicius put a sensational pass into the goal from the left flank, Rodrygo rushed in and shook the net with only a change of direction
<br />
Vinicius also had his own taste of goal three minutes later after chasing Mbappe's penetrating pass and using his signature explosive speed to shake off a defender on the counterattack.
<br />
Special striker Mbappe, who started as the front-line striker, also joined the goal feast in the 45th minute of the second half. A penalty kick was awarded when Endric was fouled while competing with a defender, and Mbappe calmly finished it to complete a 4-1 comeback victory.
<br />
This is Mbappe's 4th league goal of the season after leaving Paris Saint-Germain (France) and starting anew at Real Madrid.
<br />
On this day, Real Madrid fired 31 shots against Espanyol. Of those, 14 were on target. Espanyol only had 1 shot on target.
<br />
Real Madrid have won all four matches they have played this month.
<br />
They defeated Real Betis and Real Sociedad 2-0 on the 1st and 14th, respectively, and on the 17th they also won 3-1 against Stuttgart (Germany) in the UEFA Champions League (UCL) group stage match.
<br />
This is their fourth consecutive official win after drawing 1-1 with Las Palmas late last month.
<br />
Real Madrid, who are cruising with 4 wins and 2 draws in the 6 games since the start of this season's La Liga, are on an 8-game unbeaten streak in official matches, including the UCL group stage and the UEFA Super Cup match against Atalanta (2-0 win) held in the middle of last month.

EPL total of 64 assists Son Heung-min, 2nd in Tottenham all-time assists, tied for 18th in EPL
'Captain' Son Heung-min is 4 points behind Tottenham Hotspur's all-time assist record (68) in the English Premier League (EPL).
<br />
Son Heung-min played a key role in the team's 3-1 comeback victory over Brentford in the 5th round home game of the 2024-2025 EPL held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, England on the 21st (Korean time), recording two assists.
<br />
Son Heung-min, who assisted Brennan Johnson's comeback goal in the 28th minute of the first half when the score was tied 1-1, completed two assists by assisting James Maddison's winning goal in the 40th minute of the second half.
<br />
Son Heung-min, who has provided multiple assists, has accumulated a total of 64 assists in the EPL since joining Tottenham.
<br />
According to the official EPL 'Stats Center', Darren Anderton, a striker who played for Tottenham between 1992 and 2004, holds the record for 'Tottenham's all-time EPL assists' with 68 assists.
<br />
Son Heung-min then became the second most assisted player in Tottenham's history in the EPL with 64 assists, coming four steps behind Anderton's record.
<br />
The third-highest assister in Tottenham's history in the EPL is Christian Eriksen (Manchester United), who recorded 62 assists while playing for Tottenham between 2012 and 2020.
<br />
Eriksen left Tottenham and added 14 assists for Brentford (4) and Manchester United (10), taking his total to 76, putting him joint 11th on the all-time EPL assists list.
<br />
Son Heung-min's assist record is tied for 18th place in the EPL's all-time assist rankings.
<br />
Retired Ryan Giggs remains firmly in first place with 162 assists, while Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City, 113) is in second place.
<br />
Son Heung-min is tied for 18th place with Gareth Barry and Alan Shearer (both retired). He needs just one more assist to move into sole possession of 18th place.
<br />
Meanwhile, according to statistics from Transfermarkt, a European transfer website, Son Heung-min added two assists on this day, recording his 100th career assist on the European stage.
<br />
Son Heung-min has accumulated a total of 86 assists at Tottenham (64 assists in the EPL + 13 assists in the cup competition + 9 assists in the European competition), and previously recorded a total of 11 assists at Leverkusen in Germany (7 assists in the Bundesliga + 1 assist in the cup competition + 3 assists in the European competition) and a total of 3 assists at Hamburg (3 assists in the Bundesliga).

A Complete Guide on Car Paint Repair
![download (3)](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJxcD1uaA.png)
Your car’s paint job is one of the first things people notice. It’s not just about aesthetics; a good paint job also protects your vehicle from rust, corrosion, and damage caused by the environment. Over time, exposure to sun, road debris, and accidents can lead to scratches, chips, and dullness in the paint. Repairing or refreshing your car’s paint can make it look brand new and extend its lifespan. Here's a comprehensive guide to car paint repair, covering everything from identifying damage to DIY and professional options.
### **1. Understanding Different Types of Paint Damage**
![download](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1yRwJ_6R.png)
Before you begin any repairs, it’s crucial to identify the type of damage. Car paint damage can range from minor imperfections to serious issues that expose the car’s metal surface. The most common types include:
- **Scratches:** These can occur from keys, tree branches, or accidental contact with other objects. They vary in depth, with some only affecting the clear coat while others penetrate through the color and primer layers.
- **Stone Chips:** These are tiny chips in the paint caused by debris or gravel hitting the surface at high speeds. They often appear on the front bumper, hood, or sides of the car.
- **Oxidation:** Over time, exposure to UV rays can cause the paint to fade and become chalky. This is called oxidation, which primarily affects the car’s clear coat.
- **Peeling:** In cases where the clear coat begins to separate from the paint, you’ll notice peeling or bubbling areas. This typically happens due to improper application or prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions.
Once you understand the type of damage, you can decide how to approach the repair.
### **2. DIY Car Paint Repair: When and How to Do It**
![download (1)](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/rJaGdJ_6C.png)
For minor scratches, chips, and small areas of fading, a DIY approach can be effective and cost-efficient. Here’s a step-by-step guide to fixing common paint issues on your own:
#### **a. Fixing Scratches**
![download (2)](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hy2Q_JuaR.png)
- **Assess the depth:** If the scratch only affects the clear coat (the top layer), it can usually be buffed out. For deeper scratches that reach the paint or primer, you’ll need touch-up paint.
- **Buff out light scratches:** Use a rubbing compound or scratch remover to buff out surface scratches. Apply the product using a microfiber cloth, rubbing gently in circular motions until the scratch fades.
- **Touch-up deeper scratches:** For deeper scratches, clean the area with soap and water, then apply touch-up paint that matches your car’s color. Most manufacturers offer small bottles or pens of matching paint.
#### **b. Repairing Stone Chips**
- **Clean the area:** Remove any dirt or debris from the chip. You can use rubbing alcohol to clean the surface thoroughly.
- **Apply touch-up paint:** Use a fine-tipped brush or paint pen to carefully apply touch-up paint. Make sure the paint is a perfect match to your car’s original color.
- **Finish with clear coat:** Once the paint dries, apply a thin layer of clear coat to seal the repair and restore shine.
#### **c. Dealing with Oxidation**
![download (4)](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/B1k7qkuaC.png)
- **Wash the car thoroughly:** Use car soap and water to remove dirt and grime.
- **Polish the surface:** After drying the car, use a car polish to restore some shine to the oxidized areas. This process may need to be repeated several times for best results.
- **Wax for protection:** Finish by applying a coat of wax to protect the paint from future oxidation and UV damage.
#### **d. Peeling Paint**
For peeling paint, it’s best to visit a professional since the entire panel might need to be sanded and repainted.
### **3. When to Seek Professional Help**
![download (5)](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/S1aFOy_p0.png)
While DIY methods can work well for small issues, larger paint damage should be handled by professionals. If your car has large scratches, extensive oxidation, or peeling, a professional body shop will have the tools and expertise to restore your car’s finish.
#### **Reasons to choose professional repair:**
- **Color Matching:** Professionals use advanced tools to ensure an exact color match with the original paint, which can be challenging for DIY repairs.
- **Quality of Finish:** A professional job will result in a smoother, more durable finish that lasts longer.
- **Dealing with Severe Damage:** If the damage has penetrated to the metal, the repair requires specialized equipment to sand, prime, and repaint the surface.
### **4. Prevention Tips for Maintaining Your Car’s Paint**
![download (6)](https://hackmd.io/_uploads/Hyo9ukOpA.png)
Maintaining your car’s paint isn’t just about repairs—it’s also about prevention. Here are some tips to keep your car’s paint looking new for as long as possible:
- **Regular Washing:** Dirt, dust, and road salt can eat away at the paint over time. Wash your car regularly to prevent buildup.
- **Apply Wax:** Wax adds an extra layer of protection against UV rays, moisture, and debris. Apply it every few months for best results.
- **Park in Shade:** Prolonged exposure to the sun’s UV rays can fade the paint. Whenever possible, park in the shade or use a car cover.
- **Use Paint Protection Films:** These clear films protect the paint from minor scratches, chips, and fading, especially on high-impact areas like the front bumper and hood.
