The Brightmind IQ Test
First the benchmark, then the training: Brightmind measures your IQ, then keeps your brain in shape a few minutes a day.
We ask your gender to apply the right scoring norms. The test is 25 questions of rising difficulty — pick the best answer for each, and note that you can't return to a question once it's answered.
Brightmind's IQ test is a self-guided tool for curiosity and personal insight — it is not a clinical or diagnostic evaluation. Taking the test is free; to open your full results and keep training with Brightmind, the first 3 days are just $1.49, then $4.99 every 2 weeks. Stop whenever you want. Exact pricing can differ by region and current offer.
What you're about to take
The Brightmind IQ test is a genuine online intelligence test: 25 questions that get progressively harder, scored on the standard 100-point deviation-IQ scale used around the world. Most people finish in about 20 minutes and walk away with a score, a global percentile, and a profile of their cognitive strengths.
It's not a personality quiz with an IQ label on it — items are calibrated against demographic norms and scored the way real psychometric instruments are scored. And the score is only the beginning: it becomes the baseline the Brightmind app trains from, a few minutes a day, across all seven brain areas.

It's free to start — and unlike a one-off quiz, the result feeds straight into your training baseline in Brightmind.
