What the test measures

Modern intelligence research (the Cattell-Horn-Carroll model) sees general intelligence as a team of abilities. The Real IQ Test scores all five - and the brain report shows which areas of your brain research links to each.

Pattern Reasoning

Fluid intelligence: spotting the hidden rule in new, unfamiliar problems.

Numerical Reasoning

Working with numbers, sequences and quantities in your head.

Verbal Reasoning

Understanding words, meanings and the relationships between ideas.

Logical Deduction

Drawing conclusions that must follow from the facts - and spotting the ones that don't.

Spatial Reasoning

Turning, flipping and placing shapes in your mind's eye.

The IQ scale in one minute

IQ scores are set so that the average IQ is 100 and most people (about 68%) score between 85 and 115. Each 15 points is one "standard deviation". A score of 130 puts you in roughly the top 2% of people - the level the high-IQ society Mensa accepts.

Questions, answered

Is the IQ test really free?

Brain Club unlocks the full IQ tests in three levels, certificates, brain reports, every other test, brain games and daily challenges: 14 days free, then $5.90/month.

How does Brain Club work?

Brain Club is a membership with a free trial: 14 days free, then $5.90/month, or 1 month free, then $59/year. The price is shown before you start, you are not charged during the trial, and you can cancel anytime before it ends to pay nothing.

What do I get with Brain Club?

Every IQ test in three levels (the Official, the Advanced and the hard Real IQ Test), the Kids IQ Test, a certificate with your name and a PDF brain report for every test, the EQ, Memory, Logic, Verbal, Spatial, Reaction & Focus and Multiple Intelligences tests, seven brain games, a new challenge every day and every week, and the rankings.

Which IQ test is the most accurate?

The Real IQ Test (level 3). It has the hardest questions, adds working memory, and is scored honestly on the standard IQ scale - so most people land between 85 and 115. The Official and Advanced tests are easier and score more generously, which makes them a great confidence boost. No online test replaces a clinical assessment.

How accurate is an online IQ test?

Our tests use the same kinds of questions as professional tests - pattern matrices, number series, analogies, deduction, mental rotation and memory - and score you on the familiar IQ scale. They are a well-designed estimate for self-discovery and fun. Only a licensed psychologist using a test such as the WAIS or Stanford-Binet can give a clinical IQ score.

What is a good IQ score?

The average IQ is 100 by definition, and about two-thirds of people score between 85 and 115. A score of 110-119 is above average, 120-129 is superior, and 130 or more puts you in roughly the top 2% - the level Mensa accepts.

How long does the test take?

The Free IQ Test has 20 questions and takes most people 10 to 15 minutes. The Official IQ Test has 50 questions (45-minute limit); the Advanced and Real IQ Tests have 40 questions each (40-minute limit).

Can I share my result?

Yes - that is half the fun. After the test you get a ready-made image for your Instagram or TikTok story and a square post, plus a link. Brain Club adds a PDF certificate with your name that anyone can verify on our site.

Can I retake the test?

Yes, as often as you like. Scores usually rise a little on a second try because the question styles feel familiar - that is normal, and why professional tests limit retakes.
