The flagship instrument

Not a quiz. A cognitive instrument.

Every part of the AurorIQ test is built to measure precisely and report honestly.

The test adapts to you

A 3-parameter item-response engine chooses each question from your live ability estimate. Too easy or too hard wastes signal — so it stays exactly at your edge, the whole way through.

IRT · Maximum-information selection · Standard-error tracking

Discover your archetype

Your result is an identity, not just a number — drawn from the shape of your profile. Architect, Sage, Cipher, Visionary, Polymath.

See where you land

Your position on the population curve, lit up in real percentile terms — rarer than X% of people.

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

Send a friend the same adaptive test and see your minds head-to-head — archetype against archetype, score against score.

What gets measured

Five reasoning domains

Your composite score is built from distinct kinds of thinking — and their balance is what defines your archetype.

The experience

Three steps, one reveal

  1. 01

    Calibrate

    A short warm-up tunes the test to your level, so it starts where you actually are.

  2. 02

    Measure

    Twenty-five questions move through five domains, each one chosen live from your responses.

  3. 03

    Reveal

    Your score ascends, your archetype assembles, and your place on the curve lights up.

Under the hood

The engine behind the instruments

No black boxes. This is exactly how your result is computed — and where it lives.

Identity

Which mind are you?

Same score, different shape, different archetype. That's the part worth comparing.

Questions

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 minutes. You'll answer 25 questions that adapt in difficulty as you go.

How accurate is an online IQ test?

AurorIQ produces a percentile-based estimate using an adaptive item-response engine. It's a tool for reflection and curiosity — not a clinical assessment. Only a proctored test administered by a licensed psychologist using a validated instrument such as the WAIS-IV qualifies for clinical, educational, or legal purposes.

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 an intelligence platform — a growing set of free, science-grounded instruments that measure how you think. The flagship is an adaptive IQ test; personality testing lives on our sister instrument Personica, with learning, career, and productivity instruments in development.
