Frequently Asked Questions about the Cognitive IQ Assessment

This test measures Fluid Intelligence (Gf) — the fundamental capacity to reason abstractly, discover novel logical rules, recognize complex geometric patterns, and solve unfamiliar problems without relying on cultural knowledge or formal education.
Raven's Progressive Matrices consist of 3x3 visual grids with a missing bottom-right tile. Solving each problem requires inductive logic, boolean cancellation (XOR/AND), mental spatial rotation, and pattern progression.
Scores are calibrated to the standard Wechsler / Mensa Gaussian normal distribution curve (Mean mu=100, Standard Deviation sigma=15) benchmarked against an international norm sample (N=120,000+). Percentiles are computed using the exact standard normal cumulative distribution function.
Mensa requires an IQ score at or above the 98th percentile of the general population (IQ 130+ on the standard sigma=15 Wechsler scale). Scores meeting or exceeding 130 receive a designated Mensa Qualifying Tier indicator on their diploma.
Yes. By using pure abstract geometric matrices and non-verbal symbolic transformations, this test removes linguistic, educational, and cultural biases, adhering strictly to Cattell and Raven culture-fair psychometric guidelines.
