Your IQ score, where it sits against everyone else, and how you did on each kind of question.
All of that is free. A certificate is optional and sold separately.
Sample report
Above Average, 91st percentile. Ahead of 91 in every 100 people who take this test.
A real report for raw scores of 14, 3, 4, 2. The marked stretch on each bar is the typical range for that section, and each small square is one question. Yours is drawn the same way from your own answers. The results screen names these four by the ability they load on, so matrix puzzles appear there as spatial reasoning.
Fig 02 · The short answer
01
An IQ score, your percentile, and a breakdown across matrix, series, verbal and numerical questions. It opens on the results page with no email and nothing to unlock.
02
Satisfying real curiosity, seeing how your reasoning compares, and a first read before a supervised test such as Mensa's. It also makes a fair warm-up for aptitude tests at work.
03
Diagnose anything or replace a psychologist's assessment. It cannot see creativity, judgement or persistence. Online scores also run higher than supervised ones, so read yours as a position on this test.
Fig 03 · The questions
Four kinds of reasoning, each question multiple choice with four options. None of it needs specialist knowledge.
There is no time limit. Taking your time helps more than most people expect.
One tile is one question, grouped by kind rather than by the order they arrive in. Matrix puzzles are 61% of the test, which is why a low matrix score moves the total more than a low numerical one.
A grid of shapes with one cell missing. You find the rule that runs across the rows and down the columns.
Number and letter sequences, a counting puzzle, and a rate problem built to punish the first obvious answer.
An opposite, a synonym, an analogy, and the word that does not belong with the others.
Everyday data questions: a percentage change, an average and a median, taken from small tables.

Fig 05 · Reading the number
120 Superior
Ahead of 91 in every 100 people on this scale
| Score | What the manuals call it | Percentile | Share of people |
|---|---|---|---|
| 130 and above | Very Superior | 98th and above | 2.2% |
| 120 to 129 | Superior | 91st to 97th | 6.7% |
| 110 to 119 | High Average | 75th to 90th | 16.1% |
| 90 to 109 | Average | 25th to 74th | 50.0% |
| 80 to 89 | Low Average | 9th to 24th | 16.1% |
| 70 to 79 | Borderline | 2nd to 8th | 6.7% |
| 69 and below | Extremely Low | Below the 2nd | 2.2% |
Labels are the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV) bands on a scale with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. Every percentile from 55 to 160 is on the IQ scale chart.
Average
Half of everyone scores between 90 and 109. Inside that range, a difference of five points says more about the day than about the person.
Online
People who look for an IQ test online score above the general population, and an unsupervised test is easier to do well on. Treat your number as a position on this test.
Percentiles
A percentile says what share of people you outscored. 115 and 120 sound close, but one is the 84th percentile and the other the 91st. What a specific score means.

Take a structured reasoning test and see where your score falls against other people’s. That is all an IQ level is: a position on a scale where 100 is average. This test takes about nine minutes and shows your score and percentile as soon as you finish. Only an assessment by a psychologist gives a clinical IQ.
Yes. Your score, percentile and section breakdown open on the results page without an email, an account or a card. We earn money from an optional certificate and report. You can ignore both, and nothing in your result is held back to sell them.
It is a real reasoning test, scored the same way for everyone, and accurate enough to be useful rather than clinical. A short, unsupervised test carries more error than a psychologist’s two-hour battery, and online scores run higher than supervised ones. Treat your number as a range of several points either side. The detail is in are online IQ tests accurate.
No online test gives an official IQ. Clinical tests such as the Wechsler scales and the Stanford-Binet are given one to one by a psychologist. Mensa admits people through its own supervised test or approved earlier results, and says its online challenge will not qualify you. Both cost money, so a free test is a sensible first read. See the Mensa IQ test guide.
About nine minutes for most people, and there is no time limit. Rushing costs more than people expect. In our US data, people who finished in under two minutes averaged about 30 points lower than people who took ten to fifteen.
Anything from 110 up is above average, and 120 puts you ahead of about nine people in ten. The usual Mensa line, 130, is reached by about one person in fifty. For everyday life, anything between 90 and 109 is simply normal. The IQ scale chart has every percentile.
No. MyIQtested is an independent site with no connection to myIQ.com or Cerebrum IQ. Here your score, percentile and breakdown appear without an email or a card, and nothing is charged unless you choose to buy the optional certificate.
Both: half of the first-time takers who tell us their age are under 18. Read a child’s score with care, though. Everyone is scored against the same reference point, so a child’s number is not adjusted for age the way a clinical test is. For school gifted testing, our CogAT practice test is closer to what they will actually sit.
Yes, as often as you like, but expect the number to move. Of 894,632 people who took it twice, 35.1% changed by ten points or more, and very high first scores usually came down. A calm first attempt is the fairer read.
By counting correct answers and placing the count on a scale where 100 is the middle. Here every question is worth three points, and 16 or 17 right out of 33 lands at about 100. The reference point is fixed rather than re-estimated from takers, which is one reason online scores run high. The old formula, mental age divided by real age, only ever worked for children.
Your score is worked out in your browser. Like most sites, we keep anonymous usage records, such as scores, timing and approximate country, and publish only aggregate figures like the country research on this page. You do not need a name or email to take the test. The detail is in the privacy policy.

Country averages differ by a few questions. The people inside any one country differ by far more.
17 countries; 16.3% with Indonesia and Malaysia added

All the variation in scores across 17 countries
The same thing in test points
Standard deviation, test points
Almost all of it is between people, not between places. The two bars below the split are the same thing in test points: how far country averages sit from one another, against how far people sit from one another inside a single country.
Where 315,914 first attempts landed. One row per country with at least 1,000 takers. The dot is the average and the bar holds the middle 80% of takers, set against the UK sample at 100. Each question is worth three points.
In the Netherlands, half the takers used a translated version, and the one they used most was Russian. A row here is a language community with an internet connection, not a nation.
9,168 and 192,264 takers
every one of them is left out of this table
19 countries, and still 0.51 with internet use held constant
315,914 first completed attempts by people who said they were 18 or over, from the 19 countries with at least 1,000 of them, 20 July to 14 September 2026. Under-18s were half of everyone who gave an age, and we would rather not publish children’s scores as a national figure. Retakes, and attempts under three or over sixty minutes, are left out. Country comes from the connection, so a VPN or a trip abroad puts some people in the wrong row.
In the week starting 29 June, Indonesian school holidays brought 1.1 million first attempts from Indonesia alone, 81% of them from under-18s, and the Indonesian average fell to 108. The window therefore opens on 20 July. Dropping under-18s would not have been enough by itself: the adult average fell that week too, to about 108, against roughly 114 in every week since.
No figure here is an average IQ. Online scores run well above 100, so each country is shown against the UK sample instead: 100 plus the gap in test points. The UK sits at 100 by convention, as in the published national tables, not because it is special.
Restricting to 18 to 24 year olds barely moves the order (rank correlation 0.968, 19 countries). Adding the English version as a second control leaves it almost unchanged (0.961, 15 countries). What does move is the device: among adults, sitting the test on a computer rather than a phone is worth between 1.6 and 9.5 points, depending on the country.
That any country is cleverer than another. Neighbouring countries swap places under different checks. Most of Japan’s takers used a Japanese version with different verbal questions, and most of Indonesia’s used an Indonesian one. Every check is on the dataset page.
See where you land.
Thirty-three puzzles, about 9 minutes, and your score the moment you finish.
Fig 08 · What this is built on
Thirty-three original items, modelled on the open item types of the International Cognitive Ability Resource and scored in your browser.
Every question counts the same. Each right answer is worth three points, and 16 or 17 correct out of 33 lands at about 100.
Every question is worth the same 3 points, and nothing is weighted or curved. The floor at 55 is the only exception: below it the scale stops rather than continuing down.
