Scientific Basis
The Free IQ Test is not an arbitrary quiz. It is grounded in Gf. Unlike standard tests that look at iq test in isolation, LifeScore integrates this metric into a broader "Life Architecture" model.
By analyzing key behavioral markers and cognitive patterns, we can construct a high-fidelity model of your current state. This allows for predictive analytics regarding your career trajectory, relationship durability, and long-term fulfillment potential.
Understanding Intelligence Assessment
Intelligence testing has evolved significantly since the early 20th century. Modern assessments like this IQ Test measure multiple cognitive domains:
- Fluid Intelligence (Gf): Your ability to solve novel problems, recognize patterns, and think abstractly. This is considered the core of general intelligence and is relatively independent of education and cultural background.
- Crystallized Intelligence (Gc): Your accumulated knowledge, vocabulary, and learned skills. This increases with education and experience.
- Working Memory: Your capacity to hold and manipulate information in mind simultaneously. This is crucial for complex reasoning and problem-solving.
- Processing Speed: How quickly you can process information and execute cognitive tasks. This affects your efficiency in mental operations.
Research by Carroll (1993) established the hierarchical model of intelligence, showing that these specific abilities contribute to overall cognitive performance. Our assessment measures these domains through validated psychometric instruments that have been tested across diverse populations.
What Your Score Means
IQ scores are standardized with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15. This means:
- 85-115: Average range (68% of population)
- 115-130: Above average (14% of population)
- 130-145: Gifted (2% of population)
- 145+: Highly gifted (<0.5% of population)
However, remember that IQ is just one dimension of intelligence. Emotional intelligence, creativity, practical intelligence, and wisdom are equally important for life success.
