The test adapts to you
A content-balanced adaptive engine chooses reviewed items near a bounded internal estimate while protecting five-domain coverage and retake diversity. Difficulty values remain developer-seeded, not empirically calibrated.

The platform
One platform. Five ways to know your mind.
Every instrument shares the same principles: adaptive where it matters, transparent about method, honest about limits — and free.

A reasoning challenge with a detailed result.
Explore five reasoning domains and read your result alongside its limits.
Discover your archetype
Your result includes a descriptive archetype — drawn from the shape of your profile. Architect, Sage, Cipher, Visionary, Polymath.
See where you land
A position on an assumed normal curve, not a measured ranking against other test takers.
Honest by design
We tell you what this measures and what it doesn't. An estimate for reflection — never a clinical claim, never inflated to flatter.
Challenge anyone
Share the public assessment or a safe result card. Different sessions may receive different item subsets, so direct score competition is not the goal.
What gets measured
Five reasoning domains
The session samples five kinds of tasks. Their within-session pattern contributes to a descriptive archetype, not a validated psychological type.
- Pattern Sequences, rules, what comes next
- Numeric Quantitative reasoning
- Verbal Language and meaning
- Spatial Mental rotation and form
- Memory Working-memory span
The experience
Three steps, one reveal
-
01
Prepare
Begin with clear instructions. The model starts from the same initial estimate for everyone; no calibration warm-up is administered.
-
02
Measure
A 25–35 item session samples all five domains from a 120-item reviewed bank, with selection responding to your earlier answers inside a fixed blueprint.
-
03
Reveal
Your observed accuracy, reasoning index, Aurora Signature and descriptive profile are revealed with limitations kept visible.
Under the hood
The engine behind the instruments
No black boxes. This is exactly how your result is computed — and where it lives.
-
Adaptive model
Performance-responsive order
A bounded Bayesian/EAP-like model updates after each response and selects from eligible reviewed items while enforcing domain coverage, exposure diversity and retake unseen-item preference.
-
No population ranks
Transparent score limits
AurorIQ does not have representative population norms. No population percentile, age ranking or rarity is reported.
-
Model limits
Honest uncertainty
Results explain the limits of the model and the small question sample. Empirical confidence coverage has not been established.
-
On-device
Private by architecture
There is no server scoring your answers. The engine runs in your browser and results are stored on your device — nowhere else.
Identity
Which mind are you?
Same score, different shape, different archetype. That's the part worth comparing.
- The Architect
- The Sage
- The Cipher
- The Visionary
- The Cartographer
- The Oracle
- The Catalyst
- The Synthesist
- The Polymath
IQ measures how you think. What about who you are?
Personica offers another lens for exploring personality preferences. Use its descriptions as prompts for reflection rather than a complete picture of who you are.

Fundamentals
What is IQ, really?
What an IQ score represents, where it comes from, and the limits of a single number.

ReadQuestions
Before you begin
Is the test free?
Yes. The full assessment and your complete result are free, with no account or email required.
How long does it take?
About 15–20 minutes. The assessment serves 25–35 items from a larger reviewed bank, with content-balanced adaptive selection.
How accurate is an online IQ test?
AurorIQ reports an estimated reasoning score from a developer-seeded model. Accuracy against a standardized intelligence test has not been established. Use your raw answers and report as a starting point for practice.
What is a cognitive archetype?
It describes the shape of your profile — which reasoning domains are strongest relative to the others. Two people with the same overall score can be different archetypes.
Can I use my score for Mensa?
No. AurorIQ scores can't be used for Mensa or any clinical, educational, or legal purpose. Those require a supervised assessment with a validated instrument.
What is AurorIQ?
AurorIQ is a collection of free educational tasks and self-assessments for exploring reasoning, preferences and habits. The reasoning exercise uses model-based scoring; all results support reflection rather than diagnosis.
Do you require an account or sell my data?
No account, no email, and no sale of your answers. The assessment is scored in your browser and your results are stored on your own device.
Ready to see how you think?
In about 15–20 minutes, you'll have a private reasoning profile to inspect and question.
