Open IQ
Not WAIS. Not WISC. Not Mensa.

Online IQ tests with published items, keys, and norms

Start with an age band: under 13 sees mostly figures and matrices, without adult ICAR word problems. From 13 you get the full ICAR-16 battery. The report unlocks after a $0.99 payment.

  • Two age bands

    Under 13: visual matrices and cubes. 13+: full ICAR, including verbal items.

  • Keys stay on the server

    Correct answers never ship to the browser. The report unlocks after a $0.99 payment.

  • Papers and GitHub

    ICAR is public domain. Matrices come from IQ1.zip. ICAR-16 figures are from the Italian adaptation.
