UK Tests

UKtests - why not test yourself and find out your iq, eq or how good at general knowledge you are.

Calculate your IQ
Prepared by a psychologist, this test allows you to evaluate your IQ level in 35 minutes and to compare yourself with the average population. IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, is a general measurement of an individual’s capacity to think and reason.

Calculate your EQ
This test aims to evaluate your EQ level and compare it with the rest of the population. EQ measures emotional intelligence, that is the capacity of a person to maximize his personal traits and social skills.

What’s the proof that this is a serious test?
The statistical results obtained by this test from its first 10,000 respondents are just slightly higher (from 0.8 to 1.2%) than those noted in the general "Calculation of IQ Level" tests organized in colleges, universities, and both specialized and military organizations. Those statistics are detailed in our chapter devoted to the analysis of the results. This variation in favour of an elevated IQ score is explained by the fact that certain respondents took the same test twice in succession. Thus one can be assured of the validity of the test results.

If you take this test just once, the result will give you a fair estimation (margin of error: -/+3) of your IQ level. Moreover, if you wish to verify the validity of your result, a validation test has been especially designed for those who have already carried out this first test.

Is this test certified?
This test has been specially prepared by psychologists and tested with more than 1,000 respondents before it was offered on-line; we asked for certification from a capable international organization.

The organization in question has validated the general tenor of the test but has required that we give it a guarantee concerning the impossibility of candidates cheating during the test. Since access to this service is freely available and anonymous on the Internet, we obviously have no way in guaranteeing that a candidate will take the test only once.

What’s IQ?
IQ, or Intelligence Quotient, is a general determination of the capacity of individuals to think and reason. An IQ level indicates how one is positioned compared to the majority of individuals in a given age bracket. For example, it is said that an adult who obtains a score of 100 has a normal level of intelligence compared to the majority of people. Psychologists have in fact determined that an IQ ranging between 90 and 110 is the norm.

Since it is difficult to calculate your IQ with extreme precision over the Internet (certain questions can sometimes lead to confusion for certain individuals), the test results that are calculated must be interpreted with a +/-3 margin of error. It should also be understood that other factors could affect the results of this test. If you are tired, distracted or feeling ill, your IQ will probably not be correct. Finally, it must be recognized that this test does not, in any way, determine your artistic or manual capabilities, nor can it accurately evaluate your level of general culture.

This test of your IQ will, however, give you invaluable knowledge of your capacity to reason, find solutions and solve problems. It is undoubtedly a critical component of your success in life.

What must I do if access is refused even when I have my ticket number?
Approximately 1% of the attempts to connect to our services result in denied access. This can occur for several reasons, but generally is a result of attempts at simultaneous access on behalf of two or more users. In this particular case, you need only to email us your ticket number in order that we can identify your call and carry out a validity check. We guarantee that we will transmit to you a new ticket as soon as this validation has been carried out.

What must I do if the test is interrupted before the 50th question?
This test consists of 50 questions. In less than 1% of the time the test is interrupted while being worked on. That can occur as a result of a temporary connection problem attributable to our server or to your Internet provider. In extremely rare cases, there may be some incompatibility with the user’s operating system (certain old versions of Mac or PC!).

If such mishaps occur during your test, you need only to email us your ticket number in order that we can identify your call and carry out a validity check. We guarantee that we will transmit to you a new ticket as soon as this validation has been carried out.

Do you offer other tests?
Yes, but not in English yet. This site’s mission is to regularly offer new interactive tests to make it possible for users to evaluate themselves in various disciplines. New services are thus being launched each month. Among them is Evaluate Your General Culture, the most popular test amongst Calculate Your IQ users.

How can one of the test answers be appealed?
The IQ test was conceived under the supervision of psychologists. It was tested with more than 10,000 users, and certain questions that often posed problems were replaced. The current version of the test is accurate and correct.

If, in all good faith, you cannot understand a question, or that our explanation does not satisfy you, do not hesitate to send us a message. Your general score could then be raised by 1, 2 or 3 points, which, in the final analysis, should not greatly affect your IQ level.

If I make mistakes in checking boxes when answering, what is my real IQ?
Certain respondents, who are afraid of losing time or who are sometimes nervous during the test, give a wrong answer although they actually had the right one.

It should be noted that since the IQ test is competitive in nature, the scoring system is reliable when the candidate is relaxed, attentive and feeling well. If you are tired, anxious or under pressure, we recommend that you take the test at a later time.

Why pay?
Certain users dispute the fact that our interactive tests are charged for. The added value of this service is real: the content is relevant because professionals in the disciplines concerned created it. Technical support is available 24/7 and is managed by an international call center.

The cost of access (by credit card or telephone) is about £2.99. The fee is based on a market survey conducted by the Eurobytes agency of nearly 1,765 respondents in June 2001. The respondents overwhelmingly confirmed (78.4%) that they preferred to pay a minor charge (below US$5) to access a reliable, fast and quality service as opposed to a similar ad-financed free service that is slower, poorly organized and less stable.

How much will the test cost?
To pay by telephone, this service charges £2.99 (2 x £1.50). Telephone the number indicated and hang up after having heard your ticket number. The amount will be debited to your account. For each of the tests, a personalised report can be purchased for £5.99 (4 x £1.50). Payment is completely anonymous and offers immediate access to the test (+ complete report) for £5.99 (4 x £1.50). The transaction is done through a micro-payment system and will be noted on your next telephone bill.

If I take the test twice, will my second result count?
It is obvious that people who had access to explanations of the errors they made while carrying out the test will obtain a higher result (maximum score) if they take that same test a second time. The principle of self-evaluation works only if candidates do not have prior experience with this type of test.

It is with this in mind that a second control test was developed, offered in the same format (50 questions in 35 minutes), that takes into account the fact that candidates have already taken part in the first test. In this second test, the principles of deliberation in responding to questions, and the mechanisms for the analysis of identified problems, are somewhat different. They take account of the mental reflex actions of people having taken part in the first test. The required level of intellectual acuteness is higher than that required of the first test.

How does the IQ test’s scoring system work?
In this test, each question (logic, mental calculation, series, equation, association, etc...) scores an equal number of points. The level of difficulty of the questions posed varies substantially from one candidate to another: a question considered to be difficult by a very logical individual may be interpreted as easy by another whose character is less logical but more intuitive. And vice-versa...

My IQ score is lower (or higher) than I thought it would be. Why?
It is wise to point out that we strongly recommend that respondents do not carry out the test if they are tired, distracted or feeling ill. This test of thoughtfulness and concentration requires 35 minutes of undivided attention.

This test has been especially prepared by psychologists and tested with more than 1,000 respondents before being offered on-line; its validity cannot be questioned. We have since asked for outside certification from two capable international organizations.

This test is truly valid, but only under the condition that the respondent does not take it twice in succession. In fact, candidates who would pass the test a second time would have the answer list right before their eyes! Indeed, we have taken it upon ourselves to forward to respondents the list of their errors as well as the solutions to those problems. We believe that this seriousness is the best guarantee to candidates who would doubt the scoring system used.

In addition, it is important to note that we do not retain any files (other than for strictly statistical purposes) on the tests carried out and the results obtained by respondents. It appears to us fundamental indeed to respect the provisions of all laws relating to the confidentiality of personal data.

Where can I go to take a supervised IQ test?
Several organizations or independent psychologists can offer people, for profit, evaluations of their intelligence quotient.

The most reputable international association in this area is, without doubt, Mensa, an international club founded in Oxford in 1946 whose specific objective is to make it possible for intelligent people of all horizons to meet.

We direct you to the Internet address of Mensa International. As an indicator, the supervised tests cost approximately £35.
