🏆 Your IQ Rating
How many did you get right out of 7?0-1 correct: Don’t feel bad. These questions are specifically designed to exploit how the human brain works. You now know the tricks — you won’t fall for them again.
2-3 correct: Average range. This is where most people land, including university students. Your brain took the shortcuts it’s designed to take.
4-5 correct: Above average. You resisted your brain’s automatic responses on most questions. That’s a skill most people don’t have.
6 correct: Exceptional. Your ability to pause, re-read, and question your first instinct puts you in the top 5% of analytical thinkers.
7/7 correct: Only 3% of adults achieve a perfect score. Your brain doesn’t just think fast — it knows WHEN to think slow. That’s the definition of true intelligence.
The Science Behind This Test
These 7 questions are adapted from the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT), originally developed by Professor Shane Frederick at Yale University. The CRT measures your ability to override an incorrect “gut” response and engage in further reflection.Research shows that CRT scores predict real-world decision-making ability better than many traditional IQ tests — because life doesn’t test what you know. It tests whether you can resist what you THINK you know.
