How It Works

Three steps to knowing your mind

01

Choose your test

Pick from the free quick test or a premium deep assessment — depending on how much detail and depth you want.

02

Answer the questions

Verbal reasoning, pattern recognition, spatial thinking. Questions are designed to cover key adult reasoning skills.

03

Receive your results

Receive an educational estimate or domain profile. Paid assessments include the report features stated for that tier.

Use the Result in Context

What an online IQ test can—and cannot—tell you

DesperateMinds assessments are designed for education, self-reflection, and comparison across the tasks included in each test.

An estimated result, not a diagnosis

An online score is influenced by the questions used and the conditions in which you take the test. It is not a clinical diagnosis, legally recognized IQ result, or substitute for supervised testing by a qualified professional.

Choose the depth you need

The free test offers a quick 30-question estimate. Standard adds a five-domain PDF report, Advanced adds six domains and open-response tasks, and CMIAS provides a seven-dimension open-response profile.

Conditions affect performance

Fatigue, distraction, language, device size, motivation, and prior familiarity can change a result. Read about online IQ-test accuracy and measurement uncertainty.
