IQ-STYLE REASONING TEST / V2
A fuller reasoning check.
A 64-question reasoning test across eight areas, including visual reasoning, working memory, and a modestly weighted rapid pattern-comparison exercise.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
Find a quiet half hour.
This English-language version is open to all ages. Work without calculators, search, or outside help, preferably in one sitting. The first six areas are reviewable; working memory and processing speed are one-way timed sections. A desktop or laptop with a physical keyboard is recommended, although the test remains responsive on mobile.
- Length
- 64 questions
- Areas
- 8 sections
- Time
- About 30–35 minutes
Visual access: Matrix and visual-spatial items rely on vision. Small Clues has not established an equivalent nonvisual form; if you cannot meaningfully access those items, please use the site’s educational material rather than treating the result as equivalent.
How the estimate and timing work
Questions 1–56 each contribute one point to the reasoning evidence. A model translates that evidence onto the familiar IQ scale centred at 100 with a 15-point spread.
Processing speed contains 48 rapid pattern comparisons under one continuous 60-second deadline.

WORKING MEMORY / ONE-WAY SECTION
Working memory
Sequences disappear before you respond. Choose “Show sequence” when ready.
There is no Back button after this section starts. If the page is hidden during an item, it is recorded as interrupted and cannot be replayed.

How scoring works
Each correct choice or normalized exact memory response earns one point. The processing-speed section has its own result.
TEST ERROR

BROWSER NOTICE
This browser cannot run the timed test.
Small Clues needs a browser with a monotonic performance clock, native controls, and SVG support. Update your browser or use the educational material instead.

METHOD & SOURCES
A few useful things to know.
Where did the questions come from?
Every question, visual scene, pattern, and answer choice in this version was written for Small Clues. No proprietary test items, norm tables, or copied question banks are used.
Can I improve the result by retaking it?
Familiarity with the fixed questions and format can raise later scores without the same change in underlying reasoning. Treat repeated results cautiously; this version has no alternate forms.
