What this quick test measures
This short IQ assessment focuses on fluid intelligence — the ability to reason about new problems using logic and pattern recognition, independent of prior knowledge or education. It's the most stable and reliable aspect of general cognitive ability to measure in a brief test.
Fluid intelligence is distinct from crystallised intelligence (accumulated knowledge and skills) and working memory capacity. A brief test of this kind samples your reasoning ability rather than measuring all dimensions of intelligence.
The results give a reasonable estimate of your current reasoning performance. For a more comprehensive measure, the full-length IQ test on this site covers more question types and provides a more stable estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does this compare to the main IQ test?
This is shorter and focuses primarily on pattern reasoning. The full IQ test covers more question types and gives a more complete picture. Both give a reasonable estimate of fluid intelligence.
Can I improve my score with practice?
Some improvement is possible through familiarity with the question format. Genuine cognitive improvement comes from sleep, exercise, and sustained cognitive engagement over time.
