About this site

A free IQ-style test with transparent score context. Plus brain-training games, specialized tests, community puzzle challenges, and an open intelligence research library. Built by people who got tired of paywalled "your IQ score is ready - pay to see it."

Why this exists

A free platform for measuring, training, and exploring intelligence.

Most online IQ tests are 10 questions, a vague score, and a paywall. We wanted a transparent educational IQ-style test that stays free.

The site started as a single 60-question IQ test in English. Over time we added eight more languages, the four-domain breakdown, brain-training games to practice the abilities the test measures, specialized tests, community puzzle questions, and an open research library covering intelligence science.

No paywall, ever

The full IQ test, your detailed result page, and all 40 training games are free. No upsell at the end.

Honest scoring

IQ 100 means average. IQ 130 means top 2 percent. Standard 100-mean IQ-style scale, not a number we made up.

Anonymous by design

No signup, no email. Your result page lives at a unique URL - bookmark it, share it, or close the tab.

What this site does well

Six things we care about, six things we got right.

IQ-style score interpretation

Adaptive item-response scoring on a standard 100-mean IQ-style scale, so the educational estimate is consistent across runs.

Standard 100-mean IQ-style scale

Four domain subscores

Verbal, spatial, logical, working memory - scored separately. The pattern often matters more than the headline number.

Train the weaker parts

Each domain on the result page links to training games that target that ability. Working memory low? Try n-back. Spatial weak? Mental rotation. Five-minute sessions, live percentile rankings.

How the scoring works

Built on standard IQ-style reasoning categories

No black-box scoring. The full method is published on the methodology page if you want the details.

IRT-based

Adaptive item-response scoring

Each question has a calibrated difficulty. Harder ones you solve can carry more weight than easier ones, which helps produce a more stable educational estimate.

Per-item calibrationAdaptive weightingMaximum-likelihood scoring
Wechsler-aligned

Standard 100-mean scale

Your educational score uses the standard 100-mean IQ-style scale. IQ 100 is average; the standard deviation is 15. So a 130 reads as top 2 percent on that scale, not an internal "platinum tier."

Mean = 100SD = 15Real percentiles
Per-domain

Four cognitive domains

Verbal reasoning, spatial reasoning, logical reasoning, and working memory - each scored independently. Most modern IQ instruments split the score this way for a reason.

Live percentile rankings

Beyond the static research norms, each result also includes where you sit against the live player population - so the comparison stays current as the player base grows.
