IQ score interpretation

In general terms, IQ scores are the result of a formula based on the number of questions answered correctly on the test, adjusted to account for the differences in capabilities among various age groups and country of origin. Our registration process is simple. You will be asked to disclose your age and some other basic information required by our algorithm. Please, avoid taking online IQ tests that do not request this basic information.

For those interested in a more technical definition, IQ is a number obtained by dividing a person’s mental age score by the person’s chronological age expressed in terms of years. The resulting number is multiplied by 100 and by your "country" factor to obtain the intelligence quotient (IQ) score. Bear in mind that your IQ score represents your intelligence compared to people of your age in your own country.

Half of the population in the world has an IQ between 90 and 110. Those who reach 160 on the IQ scale are considered to be genius. An IQ of 120 puts a person ahead of 91% of people, while only 2% of people gets an IQ of 130+. Take our Intelligence test and find out what your IQ is.

It may sound like IQ is a massive oversimplification of human cognitive abilities. However, it is still the best and most reliable tool to measure your intelligence. IQ score classification after taking an Intelligence Quotient test is not the last word on how well a test-taker will do in her/his life.

Low scores should be taken as "room for improvement". No one should panic for having retrieved a lower score than expected. There are numerous scientists and successful businessmen who got low IQ scores. Emotional intelligence and personality are the other two main success factors.

From our experience, intelligence should not be considered a permanent reality. We have seen test takers boost their IQ score after having further education and changing their lifestyle. Unfortunately, we have also seen the opposite case.

The IQ^10f® test has been specifically designed to measure a person's intellectual capacity in a specific situation, independently from his academic knowledge. However, there is a proven impact in the test score based on whether test-takers' main language is English or not, the level of education, age, brain injuries and other variables. We have decided to upload our most advanced offline test into an online platform so anyone can benefit from it and we can continue our research.
