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

Approximately 10–15 minutes for 35 questions. There is no strict time limit — take as long as you need.
