About Check IQ | Online IQ Test

Written by the company

Check-IQ.org allows you to check your mental fitness via an online IQ test. How our online IQ tests work? Our online IQ test is standardized and consists of a list of questions which assess various areas of your cognitive aptitude. The questions are designed to have different levels of difficulty. While our tests are primarily built for general information and educational purposes, our research team is constantly working on new tests to improve the overall assessment of your cognitive skills. How does the IQ test work? You have up to 20 minutes to complete the IQ test. You may skip questions if you cannot guess the correct answer. Once you are done with the test, our algorithms calculate your overall score and sub-scores across several areas of human intelligence, and compare them to the average test taker. Your results are then normalized in order to fit the normal distribution that characterizes an IQ score: By definition, an IQ score is normally distributed around 100, with a standard deviation of 15. That process, which takes several seconds to complete, is called the IQ Test validation and we charge a fee for it. What does the IQ test report look like The Check-IQ report is a 15-page downloadable PDF file which you provides an estimate of your IQ score, and a breakdown of your strengths and weaknesses across five key areas of human intelligence: Visual Perception, Spatial Recognition, Pattern Recognition, Abstract Reasoning and Analytical Thinking.

It does the job

This test popped up a few times on my feed so I decided to give it a try. Getting started is straightforward. You just answr a series of questions that start off relatively easy but become noticeably more challenging. The assessment itself feels well-structured – they ask for your age range and some additional details, presumably to benchmark your score more accurately.

On my first attempt, I wasn't too focused and got a bit distracted by the countdown timer. So I decided to purchase 2 IQ tests for $9.90 which gave me a change to retry and improve my score.

Obviously, this isn't the same as a professional assessment, but it still tells you how smart you are compared to others at a fraction of a cost. So to me, it does the job :-)

Did that IQ test after a friend invited…

Did that IQ test after a friend invited me. Playstation network was down so I was like..Why Not, I need to pass time! I scored 126, lower than what I was hoping for tbh but still quite really good given I haven't done any IQ test in over 10 years. For reference I scored 1310 on the SAT aka top 2% percentile, which is normally equivalent to a 130 IQ. Anyhow! This was entertaining and challenging at the same time!

Well-engineered, well-rounded IQ test

Just wanted to give props to these guys. I play a lot of casual games when traveling (like 2-3h/day on block puzzles, match3 and wordle) but while they are fun, they feel a bit too "gamey". This IQ test fit the bill. It's FUN, challenging and rigorous all at the same time. The test itself has 25 questions and last up to 25 minutes.You'll see questions similar to those found in the Catell IQ test and others like in the Wechsler test. Plus some types I have not seen in any other tests I've tried, which is cool. The first time I took it, I finished it probably half the time but I did skip a few questions. This wasn't a smart move in hindsight. Questions increase in difficulty as you answer correctly and once you're done with the test you'll be see the highest difficulty level you've achieved. You can also track your highest IQ score and share a link to it. Very nice! Overall it's a well-engineered, well-rounded IQ test!

Self-confidence boost!

I completed this IQ test in a bit less than 20 minutes and although I've never felt like a numpty, I got an ego boost after seeing my score. I got 2 extra IQ tests so I plan to take another one in a few weeks. Could you add the answers, for ex the spatial orientation questions, or explanations on how to solve them? Thanks -- Akesh

Has some glitches

The test itself was fine, but I skipped a few questions to come back to and it just absolutely would not let me click on one of them to go back and answer. And then it said I got 14 out of 17 answers correct but there were 25 questions and I answered 24 of them, because I couldn't go back to the one question.

Fun test to challenge yourself

I initially tried this IQ test out of curiosity and ended up taking it three times.

I had never done an IQ test before, but I passed the SAT with flying colors, so I know I have strong testing skills. Plus, I’ve been playing chess since I was 8 and I love brain testers.

The first time I took the test, I spent too much time dwelling on some questions and panicked toward the end when I had 5 mins left.... which I believe negatively affected my score. On my 2nd and 3rd attempts, my scores were much more consistent (just a 3-point difference), and I feel like I performed as well as I possibly could.

The test questions are straightforward to understand, though not always straightforward to answer. I’d recommend taking the test on a desktop, as some items are a bit tricky to decipher on a mobile screen.

One minor downside: the loading times felt a bit sluggish at points, which may have been due to my connection... not sure! While it wasn’t a huge issue, I estimate I lost around 20-25 seconds overall... which I guess could have helped me feel less rushed.

I tested it with a professional 8 years ago while in high school (130 on the WAIS, 105-110 range at CAIT, PRI score above 135). Been practising online IQ tests yearly ever since but it's hard to find a good online IQ test. This one has some quite unique questions and is reasonably priced. You also get a different IQ test each time, which is, to me, the main draw compared to other IQ tests

It delivers

I tried this IQ testing site during my lunch break. Overall, I'd stay it delivers what it promises.

Pros: the interface is quite user-friendly. You have the option to skip questions, and the interface conveniently highlights the questions you've answered. The difficulty of the questions varies widely, lending credibility to the test, with some very easy ones at the start and more challenging ones towards the end. The pattern-based questions reminded me of Raven's Progressive Matrices IQ test.

Cons: there isn't much to critise. However, the registration process could be streamlined as it feels a bit lengthy. Maybe allow users to skip it altogether.

Good non-verbal skills IQ test

First time I come across this IQ test. This IQ test focuses on non-verbal skills. So, if you're not a native English speaker like me, you won't be bothered by language biases in favour of native English speakers. Reminds me of the Cattell Culture Fair test. The free report is fairly short but gives you an idea of your IQ level. Oh and a big plus is that the questions adapt to your % of correct responses. I didn't buy an detailed report so can't speak for that.

Did this test today

Did this test today. It starts with straightforward questions which get increasingly harder. I was expecting some verbal comprehension questions but I didn't get any. Can't confirm whether there are none since the questions are random.

At the end of the test, you receive an estimate of your IQ (it's a range) and an abridged feedback. I bought a premium package which offers a lot more comprehensive report, a certificate (not super useful to me apart from giving you bragging rights), and the ability to invite friends and redo the test.

There's also a training feature which I didn't buy so can't comment on that.

Overall, good experience.

Solid IQ test

Solid IQ test, got a 132 which is in line with WAIS I took 2 years ago (135) and Mensa 6 months ago (128 on first attempt, 134 on second). I know most IQ tests don’t but it would be useful if they added the answers once the test is done

Took this IQ test for the first time

Took this IQ test for the first time. But not my first time trying online IQ tests. The first thing I noticed in this one is the questions get harder and harder when you answer correctly... This can be a bit unsettling if you're not used to it - Reminded me of GRE which I took years back! I'm weak in math and some of those questions were REALLY HARD for me - On the minus side, I think they should add some verbal questions to the mix

A solid IQ test and one of the very few…

A solid IQ test and one of the very few that increases difficulty dynamically. You get a free assessment at the end of the quiz - which took me 15-ish minutes. I created an account to access the reports which are pretty detailed. The IQ itself is on par with the WiSC-V I took a while back (+/- 15 points)
