Inductive reasoning
Infer a pattern from unfamiliar sequences, codes, or transformations, then apply that pattern to a new case.

Try 20 questions about patterns, numbers, verbal logic and spatial reasoning. See how many you get right, with a free breakdown across all four areas as soon as you finish.
Your form score is the percentage of these 20 questions answered correctly. It is not a percentile, clinical result, or standardized IQ score.

A starting point for practice
In this example, spatial questions would be worth revisiting. Five questions per area are a small snapshot, not a lasting label of your abilities.
Four free worked examples
Choose an area, work through a short example, then see why the answer follows. Take your time: this is practice, not another test.
These easy examples are not part of the scored test. Your choices here are not saved, measured or added to a test result.
Numbers · Keep track of two operations
Four complementary domains
You will answer five questions in each area, mixed throughout the test. Read the rule in each prompt carefully, choose an answer and move to the next question. There is no countdown.
Discover the rule
Infer a pattern from unfamiliar sequences, codes, or transformations, then apply that pattern to a new case.
Track relationships
Work with sequences, proportions, and stated constraints without requiring specialist mathematics knowledge.
Follow the logic
Resolve analogies, category rules, and short deductions while limiting rare vocabulary and cultural trivia.
Transform the view
Mentally rotate, reflect, and track simple forms or positions while keeping visual-detail demands controlled.
What your score means
Start with what happened on the questions, then choose something specific to practise. The result is a snapshot of this attempt, not a verdict on your intelligence.
Read the full methodologyFor example, 14 correct answers out of 20 gives 70%. That is a score on these questions, not IQ 70 or a claim that you scored above 70% of people.
Look at the four counts out of five and recall where you hesitated. Did you lose track during rotations, miss a numerical step or find a verbal rule unclear? A five-question snapshot is useful for choosing practice, not declaring a permanent strength or weakness.
Use the separate reasoning practice to work through explanations. Write out the steps for one difficult question type, then try another example. If you retake this test, familiarity with the questions can affect the result.
Before you interpret the result
This online test is for adult self-exploration and low-stakes education. It does not diagnose a condition, determine giftedness, decide school placement, screen a job candidate, or replace assessment by a qualified psychologist.
FAQ
Yes. The 20-question test, percent-correct score and four-area breakdown are free. You do not need to provide an email address to see that result.
It is a real, server-scored 20-item online cognitive reasoning assessment covering four domains. It returns a transparent score for this exact form. It is not a standardized, proctored or clinical IQ test and does not replace professional assessment.
IQ is norm referenced. A total such as 16 out of 20 has no defensible population meaning by itself. This test therefore shows 80/100 as percent correct, not as IQ 120 or the 80th percentile. A population conversion requires a suitable reference sample, reliability evidence and score uncertainty.
You receive a 0–100 form score, your total correct out of 20, and separate counts for inductive, quantitative, verbal and spatial reasoning. The domain counts are descriptive because each domain contains five questions.
The sample question on this page includes a worked explanation. For more, use the separate Reasoning Skills practice, which shows answers and explanations after completion. The scored IQ test keeps its answer key private.
There is no countdown, speed bonus or speed penalty. The result uses keyed accuracy only, so device speed is not part of the score.
No. Even a future calibrated online indicator cannot reproduce an individually administered clinical assessment. Do not use this test for diagnosis, giftedness decisions, school placement, hiring, or other high-stakes decisions.
No. Remembering questions, learning a strategy or taking the test in quieter conditions can change your percent-correct score. A higher retest result is not evidence of a change in standardized IQ.
Work through 24 practice problems, then see the answers and explanations. Use them to understand a strategy you missed or practise an unfamiliar question type.
