What your result shows

IQ scores sit on a bell curve with an average of 100. About two in three people score between 85 and 115, and a score of 130 is higher than about 98% of people.

Your result places you on that curve, with your percentile and a breakdown of the five reasoning skills. It is an online estimate, not a clinical assessment.

How LifeScore works

LifeScore draws on three established ideas in psychology. The IQ test measures fluid reasoning, the ability to solve problems you have not seen before, using matrix-style visual puzzles of the kind Raymond Cattell described in the 1960s. Visual items reduce the advantage of vocabulary and schooling.

The personality test uses the Big Five model (openness, conscientiousness, extraversion, agreeableness and neuroticism), which decades of research, including work by McCrae and Costa and by Goldberg, have found across cultures and languages. It measures each trait on a spectrum instead of assigning a type.

Archetype results use Carl Jung's ideas about recurring patterns in motivation, as later developed by Carol Pearson. They are a lens for reflection, not a measurement.

Every result is directional: an online self-assessment with plain notes on what it can and cannot tell you. Read more about how we write and review content.

Frequently asked questions

What is LifeScore?

LifeScore is a set of online self-assessments. The main one is a 25-question visual reasoning IQ test. There is also a Big Five personality test, shorter tests for careers, emotional health, social skills and discipline, and free tools such as IQ calculators and quick brain tests.

How does the IQ test work?

You solve 25 visual puzzles across five skills: pattern recognition, spatial reasoning, logical sequences, analogies and rule application. It takes about 12 minutes and needs no words, maths or sign-up to start. Your score and full report are a one-time unlock once you finish.

Is the LifeScore IQ test accurate?

It gives a directional estimate, not a clinical result. It is an online visual reasoning test, not administered by a psychologist, and no short online test can promise a fixed accuracy. Your result is shown on the familiar IQ scale (average 100, standard deviation 15) with plain notes on what it can and cannot tell you.

How is LifeScore different from other personality tests?

The personality test uses the Big Five model, which measures traits on a spectrum rather than sorting you into a type as MBTI does. The Big Five is the most widely used personality framework in research.

Can I take the tests on my phone?

Yes. Every test works in a phone browser, and LifeScore is also available as an iPhone app.
