Free IQ test: 30 reasoning puzzles

How the test works

You get 30 puzzles, ordered from easy to hard, and each one has a single best answer. Take your time: the test is untimed, and you can skip a puzzle if you get stuck.

When you finish, you see your level from 1 to 6, based on how many puzzles you solved. The levels describe your own score, not a ranking against other people.

The six skills

Patterns: find the rule across a 3×3 grid of shapes. Sequences: work out what comes next as a figure changes step by step. Numbers: spot how a series of numbers grows or shifts, with no heavy arithmetic.

Logic: reason from a few facts to a sure conclusion, such as who sits where. Word meaning: see how ideas relate, through analogies and the odd one out. Spatial: picture a shape after it has been turned or flipped.

Every puzzle was written for this site. None is copied or adapted from published tests or puzzle books, and none depends on spelling or wordplay, so each one works the same in English and Hindi.

What the full report adds

The optional full report shows your exact score out of 30 and a skill-by-skill breakdown, so you can see where you are strongest and what to practise next.

It also goes through every question with the correct answer and a plain explanation of the rule. Once enough people have taken the test, it shows how your score compares with other takers too.

What this test is not

This is an informal reasoning test for practice and fun. It is not a clinical or standardised IQ assessment, and it does not give you an IQ number. Formal IQ assessments are run by trained professionals under set conditions.

Your result reflects how you did on these puzzles on one day. Rest, focus and practice can all change it, and none of it measures your worth or decides your future.
