Practical Intelligence Quotient has 100 3D logic puzzle questions with 13 different obstacles including mazes, stair blocks, revolving doors and conveyor belts. Players can challenge these puzzles by moving blocks, avoiding walls and lasers, hiding from guardsmen, and pulling switches, and manoeuvring with maps to reach their goal and solve the puzzle. As players solve puzzles within a shorter time frame and with fewer moves, their PQ scores improve. Results are based on the number of moves you make, the number of mistakes made, and the time used to complete the question. Players can then post their PQ score online using the PSP system's Infrastructure Mode to see how their performance rates against other players globally.
Practical Intelligence Quotient uses a measuring system that was created under the guidance of Professor Masuo Koyasu of Kyoto University in Japan that determines players Practical Intelligence Quotient or PQ.
