Valid Performance IQ Tests
The optional tests below are standardised, validated IQ tests where the average population score is 100. Take one of these tests before your 4 week training program and then take another one after your 4 week training program to track your objective IQ gains. Take screenshots of your scores both times for the IQ increase guarantee. You will need around half an hour for each test.
IQ Test A
This non-verbal IQ test developed by Anders Jensen, MD. (Mensa Denmark) is based on the well-known Raven’s Progressive Matrices and measures your fluid intelligence directly. It also provides a valid measure of your general intelligence (IQ). The IQ test is culture fair – eliminating the effect of cultural factors such as vocabulary, mathematics and general knowledge. The calculation of IQ is based on answers from more than 250,000 people. The test is based on seeing relationships in abstract geometrical shapes.
