Methodology

MindMetric IQ methodology and publishing principles

MindMetric IQ creates educational IQ-style reasoning content that estimates performance from accuracy, question difficulty, response speed, and comparison with completed sessions.

What the test is designed to do

The test is designed to give users a practical reasoning snapshot across visual, numeric, verbal, spatial, and logic tasks. It is not a clinical IQ test, medical diagnosis, employment assessment, or psychological evaluation.

How questions are created

Questions are written to test rule-finding, pattern recognition, careful reading, spatial comparison, and numeric sequence logic. We aim to avoid questions that only measure trivia, school knowledge, or cultural familiarity.

How scoring works

Accuracy is the main signal. Correct answers receive difficulty-weighted points, and faster correct answers can receive a controlled speed bonus. Wrong answers do not become valuable because they were answered quickly.

How percentile comparison works

Percentile comparison places a scored session against a benchmark of completed sessions. As more real sessions are collected, the benchmark can be improved to better represent actual user performance.

Editorial principles

MindMetric IQ content should be clear, useful, and honest about limitations. We avoid presenting the score as a clinical measurement and explain that results are educational estimates for self-insight and entertainment.
