IQ-Style Cognitive Test
40 timed questions: numerical reasoning, logical deduction, spatial/matrix patterns, and verbal reasoning.
⚠ An original, informal test for engaging self-assessment — not a clinically validated psychometric instrument. See FAQ.
4 sections, 10 questions each, 25 minutes total. The test auto-submits when time runs out.
How to use this tool
Click "Start Test", then answer as many of the 40 questions as you can within 25 minutes across four sections: numerical, logical, spatial (matrix patterns), and verbal reasoning.
About this tool
Every question here — including all spatial matrix puzzles, rendered as original SVG graphics — was written or generated originally for this tool. None are reproduced from any professional or copyrighted psychometric instrument.
The spatial section uses matrix reasoning: shapes change systematically across rows and columns (e.g. number of sides increases left to right, shading darkens top to bottom); one cell is left blank, and you choose the option that correctly continues both patterns at once.
Frequently asked questions
Is this a real, clinically validated IQ test?
No. Real IQ tests (like the WAIS or Raven's Progressive Matrices) are professionally standardized, normed against large populations, administered under controlled conditions, and legally licensed instruments. This is a substantial original test (40 timed questions across four reasoning categories) built for engaging self-assessment, not a diagnostic tool — it should not be used for any clinical, educational placement, or employment decision.
What makes the spatial reasoning section different?
It uses matrix reasoning puzzles in the style of visual IQ tests: a 3x3 grid of shapes follows a rule across rows and columns, one cell is missing, and you pick which of four options correctly completes the pattern. All shapes are generated as original SVG graphics for this tool, not copied from any existing test.
Is there a time limit?
Yes, 25 minutes total for all 40 questions, similar to how real timed cognitive assessments work. The test auto-submits when time runs out, scoring whatever was answered.
