Limitations of Legacy IQ Tests
- Too narrow: leans on word lists and math drills instead of real performance.
- Fixed scores: treats ability as permanent, ignoring that skills can be trained.
- Poor real-world fit: doesn't reflect multi-tasking or everyday situations.
What RWIQ Measures
This modern IQ test evaluates all six of your brain regions and reports extensively on your benchmark and advanced mental abilities in each:
- Frontal: planning, inhibition, strategic switching
- Temporal: language, auditory processing, memory
- Parietal: logic, numeracy, abstraction
- Occipital: visual reasoning, pattern recognition
- Limbic: decisions under pressure, regulation
- Cerebellum: sequencing, coordination, timing
The Science Behind the Test
Design & Methodology
- 100 multimedia questions across logic, language, spatial, memory, and rapid decisions.
- Adaptive timing measures precision and speed without rewarding guessing.
- Question pools tuned for fairness across order and modality.
Validation
- Difficulty calibration via item-response style analyses.
- Timing curves benchmarked to avoid penalizing slower modalities.
- Reliability tracked via internal consistency and retest stability.
Research Corpus
RWIQ's item design and scoring draw from 200+ peer-reviewed brain and cognition studies spanning attention networks, working memory, processing speed, decision-making under time pressure, speed-accuracy tradeoffs, and test validity.
Quantum-Assisted Validation
IBM Torino Verification
Job ID: d1lhbkf29o4s73appk4g
Quantum Shots: 8,192
Status: ✓ Verified
Request Technical DocumentationWhat We Verify
- Anti-bias (DIF scans): We run Mantel-Haenszel analyses to flag items that behave differently for comparable-ability groups.
- Measurement invariance: Multi-group checks confirm the test measures the same constructs across demographics.
- Adverse-impact review: We monitor score distributions to ensure fairness across groups.
- Device & bandwidth fairness: We normalize for latency so slow networks don't disadvantage speed-bonus eligibility.
- Speed-accuracy balance: We ensure quick responding helps but never overwhelms accuracy.
For selected checks, we execute probabilistic verification routines on real IBM Quantum hardware and compare the resulting shot distributions with classical baselines.

Scoring System
Test Structure
- 100 total questions: 50 Benchmark (baseline) + 50 Advanced (peak performance).
- Timer per question: A visible 45-second countdown starts the instant the question renders.
Base Points (Accuracy)
- Per-question points: +2.0 for correct; +0 for incorrect.
- Base maximum: 200 points.
Speed Bonus (Fair-but optional)
- Bonus: +0.2 if the answer is correct AND you submit before the countdown reaches 20 seconds.
- Boundary: Bonus applies only when timer shows 21-45s remaining.
- Rationale: Accuracy is primary; speed helps only when you're correct.
- Total max: 220.0 (200 base + 20 bonus).
Retesting
When to Retest
- Wait at least 30 days between attempts.
- Focus on areas identified for improvement.
- Practice cognitive exercises in your weaker regions.
Score Improvement
- Most people see 5-15 point improvements on retest.
- Targeted practice can yield significant gains.
- Your highest score is always your official RWIQ.
