30 reasoning items, scored on the standard IQ scale and written up like a short research report: your score, your percentile and a profile across five cognitive areas.
| Items | 30 |
|---|---|
| Time limit | None |
| Typical duration | About 5–10 min |
| Scale | Mean 100 · SD 15 |

Four steps, from the first item to your report
- 1.1Materials
30 reasoning items
Mostly figure and pattern problems such as matrices, sequences and rotations, plus a few number and word items. No trivia and no prior knowledge needed.
- 1.2Procedure
Answer at your own pace
There is no countdown. Take it on a phone or a computer, with nothing to install and no sign-up.
- 1.3Scoring
Accuracy plus response time
Your correct answers are combined with how long each item took, then placed on the standard IQ scale.
- 1.4Report
Your results, written up
Score, position in the population and a five-area profile, laid out like the results section of a study.
§2 Scoring
How a raw score becomes an IQ score
We don't count your correct answers and call it IQ. Your answers go through the same kind of steps used in standardized testing.
StandardizationIQ = 100 + 15 × zz = (x − μ) / σ
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Raw score | How many of the 30 items you answered correctly. |
| Response time | Time spent on each item, reflected in the report as processing speed. |
| Standard score | Your result placed on a scale with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. |
| Percentile | Where that score sits in the distribution, shown as your rank in the population. |
