Every format, at a glance

Every format runs on the same scoring engine. What changes is which abilities are sampled, how many items you answer, and how the result is reported.

Composite IQ score

Best for the fastest way to start

Start the test

Verbal, Spatial and Numerical report a domain percentile, not an IQ score. Only the four multi-domain formats produce a composite IQ.

Quick pick

Not sure which one to take?

Start from what you want out of it, not from the format name.

You want your full IQ score

Classical IQ Test

The only format that samples all four domains in depth and returns a per-domain breakdown alongside the composite.

You only have ten minutes

Timed IQ Test

Fewer items under a hard clock. Directionally useful, and honest about being less precise than the full assessment.

English isn’t your first language

Culture-Fair IQ Test

Pattern and shape reasoning only. Nothing to read, nothing to calculate — so vocabulary never becomes the bottleneck.

You’re testing a child

Kids IQ Test

Ages 4–17, in three age bands. Scores are age-normed, meaning a child is compared with children of the same age.

You want to check one ability

Verbal · Numerical · Spatial

Focused deep-dives into a single domain. They return a percentile for that ability, not an overall IQ score.

Mix IQ Test

A mixed set of question types across all four domains. If you’re not sure what you’re looking for, start here.

Under the hood

How our tests work

All eight formats are the same machine with different settings — which is why their results can be read against each other.

One shared engine

Every format draws from the same tagged item bank. A format is a selection rule over that bank, not a separate test written from scratch.

Standard scoring

Answers are scored server-side and mapped to the standard scale — mean 100, standard deviation 15 — so a score means the same thing across formats.

Stated precision

Each test says what it samples and how precise its result is. Fewer items means a wider margin of error, and we label it rather than hide it.

Want the long version? The IQ Test Guide covers scoring, percentiles and what the four domains actually mean.

Before you start

What these tests are — and aren’t

These are self-administered screening tools. They are designed to give you a reliable estimate of how you reason across several kinds of problem, and they do that well enough to be genuinely informative.

They are not clinical or diagnostic instruments, and they are not equivalent to any named professional battery. If you need a formal cognitive assessment — for a school placement, a workplace accommodation or a medical question — see a licensed psychologist. Read more about our approach on the About page.
