1. Acceptance of Terms

By accessing, browsing, or using Take-IQTest.com in any way, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and our Privacy Policy. These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Site.

If you are using the Site on behalf of an organization, you represent and warrant that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms, and your agreement to these Terms will be treated as the agreement of the organization.

We reserve the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page. Your continued use of the Site following the posting of revised Terms constitutes your acceptance of the changes.

2. Description of Service

Take-IQTest.com provides a free, browser-based IQ-style quiz along with educational articles and guides about intelligence testing, IQ scores, cognitive assessment, and related topics. The Site is designed to serve as an educational and entertainment resource.

Our IQ-style test presents a series of questions covering pattern recognition, logical reasoning, numerical sequences, and verbal analogies. Upon completion, the test provides an estimated IQ score based on your performance relative to a reference distribution.

Users may optionally create a free account using Google or Facebook sign-in to save scores, access additional IQ tests (Versions 2 through 11), appear on the public leaderboard, and maintain a public profile page. Account creation is entirely optional; Version 1 of the test is available without an account.

The test and all content on this Site are provided free of charge. The Site is supported by third-party advertising.

3. Disclaimer: Not Medical or Clinical Advice

This is one of the most important sections of these Terms. Please read it carefully.

The IQ-style test provided on Take-IQTest.com is not a clinical, diagnostic, or professionally administered intelligence assessment. It has not been validated through the standardized norming process used by instruments such as the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS-IV), the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC-V), or the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales (SB5).

The estimated IQ score you receive from our test:

Is an approximation provided for educational and entertainment purposes only.
Should not be used as a substitute for a professional psychological or neuropsychological evaluation.
Should not be submitted to schools, employers, courts, government agencies, or any other institution as an official measure of intelligence.
Should not be used to make decisions about medical treatment, educational placement, disability determination, or any other clinical or legal matter.
Does not constitute psychological, medical, educational, or career counseling advice.

If you need a clinically validated IQ score for any purpose, we strongly recommend consulting a licensed psychologist or qualified mental health professional. For guidance on finding professional testing, see our guide on where to take an IQ test.
