The test
The test consists of picture tasks in four areas: finding patterns, spatial thinking, number reasoning and quick visual matching. Each area gets its own score, and together they make up the overall result. The methodology page explains this in more detail.
It depends on age: about 20 minutes for young children and up to about 45 minutes for adults. The tasks are picture-based and grouped into four test areas.
No. The tasks are chosen by age group: you enter your age when you start, and the test picks the form for that group. So a child and an adult solve different tasks, and each result is compared with the model of its own age group.
Yes. An unfinished test can be continued from the same task in the same browser within 30 days of the last answer: the test start page will offer to continue. It cannot be continued on another device or after cookies are cleared.
A phone, a tablet or a computer will do. The tasks are pictures, so they are easier to look at on a larger screen. Pick a quiet time when nothing will distract you.
Yes, from age 4. Children aged 4–8 take the test with a parent or legal guardian, who reads the instructions aloud but does not help choose answers. From age 9 the test is taken alone; test-takers under 16 need permission from a parent or legal guardian.
No. Every task is a picture puzzle made of shapes, figures, groups of dots or numbers drawn as images. A screen reader only announces that a picture is there, so the tasks cannot be solved without sight. Screen magnification and browser zoom work, because the pictures stay sharp at any size.
Yes, but we recommend waiting about 30 days. Repeating similar tasks soon after makes the new result less meaningful.
The result
Yes. Taking the test and seeing your estimated IQ, percentile and cognitive title is free. The detailed Standard and Premium reports are optional paid upgrades that you can buy after you see your result.
Treat the score and percentile as estimates on a provisional model scale, not as population norms. The test is for entertainment and self-discovery, not for diagnosis or clinical, school-placement or employment decisions.
The percentile shows where a result sits on the scale. For example, a percentile of 75 means the result is higher than that of 75 out of 100 people on the provisional model scale for your age group. It is an estimate, not a comparison with a real population sample.
The title names the strongest side of your profile. For example, Pattern Solver if the pattern tasks went best. If the area scores are close to each other, the title is Balanced Thinker. Like the other scores, it is an estimate for self-discovery.
Links to your results are saved in this browser on the My reports page. From there you can also have the links to every report paid with an email address sent to that address. A free result is kept for 12 months after the last activity; a paid report stays available for 24 months after the last payment.
Report and certificate
The Standard report shows estimated scores for all four areas, an explanation and tips for each area, one sample activity and a PDF. Premium adds every activity for your areas, two for each, a personalized summary of your test-score pattern, a 30-day practice plan and a printable certificate with your name.
Standard shows the scores for all four areas with an explanation and tips, one sample activity and the PDF. Premium adds every activity, two for each area, a personalized summary of your profile, a 30-day practice plan and a named certificate to print. The pricing page compares them in detail.
Yes. A Standard report offers the switch to Premium: you pay only the price difference, and the report is extended right after payment.
It is a Premium section, your profile in words: what the combination of your areas means, what your pace and accuracy showed, where to start practising and where your strengths usually come in useful. The text is written by software from your scores. If it is unavailable, a prepared text for your profile is used, and the report says so.
The certificate comes with Premium. It shows your name, estimated IQ, level, percentile, title, area scores, the date, a number and a QR code. Anyone can check the certificate on the site by its number, and you can switch the check off on the report page. The certificate for children aged 4–8 is playful: the name, the title and strengths, with no IQ figure and no check by number. You can correct the name in the report, and if it needs changing again, support will help.
Check your spam folder. You can open the report on the My reports page in the browser you bought it in, or have the links sent to your email from there. If the email still does not arrive, write to us and we will send it again.
Payment and refunds
No. The report is paid for once, with no repeat charges. The test and the main result are free.
By bank card on Stripe's secure page. The card details are entered at Stripe and never reach us.
Stripe's payment receipt and an email with the report: the PDF attached and the order details, that is, the plan, the amount and the order number.
The report is digital content and opens right after payment, so a report you have received is not refunded. The payment is refunded in full in one case: the report of your plan did not open in full within 24 hours of payment, that is, the report did not open, the PDF could not be opened or a part you paid for was missing. Write to support@iqtest.quest or use the form with the topic "Refund request". We reply within 3 business days, and the bank credits the money within 5–10 business days. More in the refund policy.
Data and privacy
No registration is required. You only need to give an email address if you buy a report, so that we can send it to you.
The email address is needed only when you buy a report: we send the report, the payment receipt and the order details to it, and later you can get the links to your reports with it. The test and the free result need no email. Reminder emails come only if you ticked a separate box at checkout.
We keep the answers and the result of the test, and if you bought a report, also your email and the payment details. Retention periods are listed in the privacy policy. To get a copy of your data or have it deleted, write to support@iqtest.quest or use the form with the topic "Privacy or data request". We reply within a month. The law requires us to keep payment records.
