  • 5

    One worked question from each area

Details

Good to know

  • Theoretical percentileIt’s a position on the normal curve, not a ranking among users. We don’t use a "national average" or rankings by country.
  • No IQ per areaWith only a few questions per area, the error would be too large. We show the area’s 0–100 score (the percentage correct), with the likely range, and whether it came out above, in line with, or below your overall result.
  • The review is yours aloneThe questions from your test appear in the review after the report is unlocked, only for you. Before that, the site shows no test questions at all, and each person gets questions drawn from a bank with variants.
  • Low-reliability resultIf many answers came in too fast or the pattern is very unusual, the report says so, and retaking it is free.

An educational estimate of reasoning. It’s not a consultation with a psychologist and shouldn’t be used for decisions about employment, school or health.

Questions

Questions about this feature

Does the report show which questions I got wrong?

Yes. The review includes every question in your test, in the order it appeared, with your answer, the correct one and the explanation. On top of that, there’s one worked question from each area for practice.

What is the percentile in the report?

It’s theoretical: the position of your score on the normal curve with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. It doesn’t compare you with other people who took the test.

Where can I find the report later?

In your member area, in the Report tab. On another device, log in with the email you used for the test and get an access link.
