What is a good IQ score for an adult?
For adults, an IQ score of 100 is exactly average. Scores of 110–120 indicate above-average intelligence (top 15–20%). A score of 130+ qualifies as gifted and represents approximately the top 2% of the adult population.
How does this test compare to a clinical IQ test?
Clinical IQ tests (WAIS-IV, Stanford-Binet 5) are administered by licensed psychologists in controlled settings and take 60–90 minutes. Our online test provides a reliable estimate using the same psychometric principles, but is not a clinical diagnostic tool. For official assessments (employment, academic, medical), consult a licensed psychologist.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this IQ test accurate for adults?
Yes. Our test is calibrated against adult population norms and uses question types validated by psychometric research. It provides a reliable estimate, though not a clinical-grade assessment.
How long does the adult IQ test take?
Approximately 10–15 minutes for 35 questions. There is no strict time limit — take as long as you need.
What score do I need to join Mensa?
Mensa requires a score in the top 2% of the adult population, which corresponds to an IQ of 130 or above on most standardized tests.
Can I retake the test?
