20 questions covering number sequences, verbal analogies, spatial logic, and pattern reasoning. Take your time — there's no timer. Get an estimated IQ range at the end.
This test samples four domains assessed in real IQ batteries: verbal analogies (Gc), numerical sequences (Gq), spatial pattern reasoning (Gf), and logic (Gf). Each domain contributes to the broad construct of general intelligence (g).
For more targeted tests, try Pattern Recognition (pure Gf) and Cognitive Reflection (analytical thinking).
Intelligence Quotient (IQ) scores summarize performance across multiple cognitive domains into a single standardized number, where 100 represents the population average and each 15 points represents one standard deviation. The term was coined by William Stern in 1912, though the first practical IQ test was developed by Alfred Binet in 1904 to identify French schoolchildren needing educational support. Modern IQ batteries like WAIS-IV measure several distinct components: verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, and processing speed.
Our Mini IQ Test samples four reasoning domains across 20 questions: number sequences (numerical reasoning), verbal analogies (language/crystallized intelligence), logical deduction (fluid reasoning), and spatial patterns. The resulting estimated range is a rough indication — not a certified IQ score — but the patterns of strengths and weaknesses across question types reveal genuine cognitive profile information. Important: only a licensed psychologist administering a standardized, normed battery can provide a valid clinical IQ score.
