The test consists of 70 questions, organized into thirteen thematic sections. The questions must be solved in a predetermined sequence. The IQ test was developed for single use only. While designed to be enjoyable, its primary purpose is to determine your IQ with the highest possible accuracy.

According to current definitions, intelligence is composed of a variety of different mental abilities. Dr. Reichel's IQ test includes different parts, allowing the following characteristics to be examined:

• Comprehension
• Linguistic ability
• Analytical thinking
• Logic and reasoning
• Abstract thinking
• Working memory
• Quantitative reasoning
• Spatial judgement
• Processing speed and accuracy

The psychologist Dr. Wolfgang Reichel is a renowned IQ expert and the author of numerous books on the topic of aptitude and IQ tests. He has developed IQ tests for leading newspapers and television programs. Working with the team at the binary family, he conceived this test specifically for use on the iPhone.

A quality product

Well made and well-designed app. At first I was a little peeved that this relatively expensive app only included one IQ test. But my roommate, who's studying psychology, explained to me that you can't get an accurate result when you take another test that's similar to one you already took, so that actually makes sense, I'd even say it's a sign that this is a serious IQ test.

Does the job!

I've tried other IQ tests before and this is truly the best. It tests you on all aspects of the mind! I love it! A must buy if you have always been wondering what your IQ is.

Excellent test

Dead on with some of the lengthy more formal tests out there. Highly recommend this app.

Excellent
stand up!

Unlike other iPhone (or really, most popular "do-it-yourself") IQ tests which focus solely on one area or another, this one gives questions in all areas intelligence must be measured in. Obviously, this cannot take the place of a legitimate psychiatrist, but it does give a good ballpark image of the user's IQ. For example, taking into account test deviance, my own was reported by psychiatrists as between 148 and 153, and this test reported 144 (though I understand it does not test past 145). This is less than one-half a standard deviation's difference (the standard deviation of IQs is 15), which makes this test, in my experiences, a relatively decent measure. A note of warning, though - knowing your own IQ changes nothing in your life. You're just as smart as you were before you knew.
