IQ & Cognitive Score
Self-report your IQ or take a brief spatial reasoning test. See the global distribution and what different scores correlate with.
Note: This is a curiosity tool, not a validated psychometric test. Real IQ scores require standardised, clinically administered tests. Self-reports tend to be inflated; the 5-question mini-test gives a very rough directional estimate only.
Self-reported IQ. Based on the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale where 100 is the population mean and 15 is one standard deviation.

IQ Distribution — Wechsler Scale
IQ scores are normalized so 100 is always the mean. About 68% of the population scores between 85 and 115. Only 2.3% score above 130. The top 0.1% is above 146.
Put It In Context
IQ tests measure a specific kind of reasoning — pattern recognition, abstract logic, and processing speed. They do not measure creativity, emotional intelligence, wisdom, or domain expertise. The Flynn Effect shows average IQ scores have risen ~3 points per decade since the 1930s, suggesting IQ reflects learned cognitive skills more than fixed capacity. Self-reported IQ tends to be inflated by 10–15 points on average, which is why this module offers a brief estimation quiz as an alternative.
