FAQ & Help

Comprehensive answers to frequently asked questions about IQ test accuracy, scientific basis of cognitive assessment, and how to utilize results.

Q1. How accurate are the IQ test results?

IQScope tests are based on cutting-edge cognitive psychology research, employing scientifically valid measurement methods with a standard deviation of 15 and mean of 100. We integrate multiple cognitive domains (verbal comprehension, perceptual reasoning, working memory, processing speed) to achieve 95% confidence interval measurement accuracy. However, variations of ±5-10 points due to physical condition or environmental factors are within normal range.

Q2. What scientific basis supports the 8 cognitive types?

The 8 cognitive types are based on an integrated model combining Cattell's fluid-crystallized intelligence theory, Gardner's multiple intelligence theory, and modern cognitive neuroscience research. Brain imaging studies (fMRI) have demonstrated that different cognitive processing patterns correlate with activity in specific brain regions. Large-scale statistical analysis has confirmed that individual cognitive performance profiles can be classified into 8 major patterns.

Q3. How long does the test take?

The IQScope test takes approximately 15-20 minutes to complete. Each question has a time limit, and efficient cognitive processing ability is also included in the evaluation. Pausing and resuming the test is possible, but for the most accurate results, we recommend completing it in one session in a focused environment.

Q4. How should I interpret the test results?

IQ scores are relative indicators. 100 is the average, with about 68% of people falling within the 85-115 range. 130+ corresponds to the top 2%, while 70- corresponds to the bottom 2%. Importantly, IQ is not a fixed ability but represents the current state of cognitive skills that can be improved through learning and training. Cognitive type analysis helps you understand your thinking characteristics and strengths, enabling you to find effective learning methods and suitable fields.
