IQ Test by Real IQ
Testing Instructions
This IQ test consists of 100 multiple choice questions that are all abstract in nature. Your answers will be ranked against other scores gathered in a carefully conducted baseline study.
For accurate results, we ask that you do not use any external resources. That includes paper, writing utensils, calculators, or any research technology such as a smartphone or a computer.
This test has a 50 minute time limit, or 30 seconds per question. Every question is worth 1 point, so skipping a harder question for later is not a bad idea. There is no additional penalty for getting a question wrong vs not answering it at all.
