Evaluation & Results

IQ Test Grades

We use classification labels such as 'exceptional' or 'average' to define the different categories of IQ scores.


What is the average IQ?

In most modern IQ tests, the average IQ score is set at 100 with a standard deviation (SD) of 15, so IQ scores follow a normal statistical distribution.

This means that about 95% of the world's population has scores within two standard deviations (SD) of the mean (average IQ score).

It means that 95% of the population is within a range of 70-130, with 98% of people having scores below 131. Alternatively, two-thirds (67%) of the population has IQ scores within one SD of the mean, i.e. within the range 85-115.


How does our IQ test work?

Our certified IQ test uses 25 questions to test the most important areas of intelligence. These include visual perception, abstract thinking, pattern recognition, analytical thinking and spatial orientation.

With over 1.5 million IQ tests completed, we have an enormous reference set that allows us to accurately determine IQ scores despite a small number of questions.


Who has the highest IQ?

Ainan Celeste Cawley - IQ value: 263


Ainan Celeste Cawley is a young prodigy from Singapore with the highest IQ value of 263, which is the highest possible value a person can achieve under standard conditions.


He was born on November 23, 1999 and is a citizen of Singapore. Within seven years, he gave his first public lecture at the age of only six and passed high school chemistry with ease.

A year later, he was studying at Singapore Polytechnic, and it seemed like nothing could stop this amazing kid.

By the age of 9, Cawley could then memorize all the bars of the periodic table and recite pi to 518 decimal places.

As a result, Ainan was invited by several prestigious universities to give lectures on his discoveries.
