How to check your IQ online — step by step

Testing your IQ on our platform takes three simple steps:

1. Choose test length — from the short version (12 questions / 8 min) to the full one (36 questions / 35 min). The longer, the more accurate.
2. Answer the questions — you have a time limit, but you can also skip and revisit questions, changing answers.
3. Get your result — immediately after finishing you'll see your indicative IQ, population percentile and full interpretation.

What does an IQ test score mean?

The IQ score is presented on a scale where the mean is 100 and standard deviation is 15. This means:

• IQ 85-115 — population average (about 68% of people fall here)
• IQ 116-129 — above average (15% of the population)
• IQ 130-144 — high intelligence (Mensa threshold, 2% of population)
• IQ 145+ — exceptional intelligence (fewer than 0.1%)

Remember that the online test result is indicative. For an official, standardised IQ measurement you need to take a test supervised by a psychologist using certified tools (WAIS-IV, Stanford-Binet 5).

Is it worth regularly checking your IQ?

Fluid intelligence is relatively stable over time — your IQ likely won't change dramatically year over year. Still, regular testing makes sense for another reason: training abstract reasoning. The more matrix tasks, number sequences and logic puzzles you solve, the more skilfully you recognise patterns.

Research shows that people who regularly practice cognitive tasks score 5-10 points above the population mean — not because they're more intelligent, but because they have well-developed problem-solving strategies.

Check your IQ — tips before the test

To test your IQ best, you should:

• Take the test in the morning, between 9:00 and 12:00 (peak cognitive performance)
• Be well-rested (minimum 7 hours of sleep the previous night)
• Be in a quiet place without distractions
• Have paper and pen handy (for working out auxiliary calculations)
• Not rush — the time is there so you can think through each question
• Not skip questions — there's no penalty for errors in this test, guessing beats no answer
