IQ TEST - WHAT IS YOUR WISDOM? 1.8

IQ tests have a long history, dating back to the 19th century, as tools for measuring individual intelligence. Utilized by educators and psychologists over the years, these standardized tests are employed to predict academic achievement, career success, and identify cognitive disabilities. The Intelligence Quotient (IQ) is a cumulative score obtained from various standardized tests designed to evaluate human intelligence, with results adjusted based on age groups.

One notable assessment of intelligence is the Raven IQ test, a tool resembling a logic game that has been prominent in Great Britain for decades. This test includes sixty questions and is offered in three variations within the application: a comprehensive 60-question test, a moderate 30-question test, and a quick 15-question test.

The application offers a free IQ test suitable for all age groups, adjusting scores for those under 15 using Raven's correction matrices to provide accurate results. Test durations are capped at 40 minutes for the full test, 20 minutes for the intermediate version, and 10 minutes for the short assessment. The results typically form a bell curve distribution around an average IQ of 100, with scores ranging from 25 (labeled as a "stupid test") to 175 (considered genius).

Through verbal descriptions rather than graphical representations, users receive their brain scores upon completion of the test. While the full evaluation is considered reliable, the shorter versions are intended for those seeking quicker assessments despite reduced accuracy.

The Raven Progressive Matrices tests within the app, predominantly featuring the Standard Progressive Matrices Test, involve completing designs by selecting missing elements from provided options. Developed for research into intelligence determinants, these tests are converted into age-adjusted IQ scores aligned with Raven's Matrices.

Furthermore, it is acknowledged that the SPM comes with specific strengths and limitations—being applicable across all ages and settings but needing cautious interpretation due to its characteristics.

The app also offers additional features such as taking selfies and sharing results with friends while attributing its icon and IQ score images to Allan Ajifo under CC BY 2.0 and promotional image credit to José-Manuel Benitos under CC BY-SA 3.0.
