Scoring, explained openly

The calculation behind your result.

A result is more useful when its limits are clear. Here is what we calculate, the assumptions we use and what the number does not establish.

The questions you answer

Forty questions grouped into Numbers, Logic and Pattern categories. The report counts correct answers in each category; it does not establish a general intelligence measure.

How answers become a score

Each question has an assigned weight. The weighted proportion correct is converted using an assumed mean of 0.55 and standard deviation of 0.18, then mapped to a scale centred on 100 with SD 15 and clamped to 55–145. These are design assumptions, not measured population norms.

Where this result stops

This is a non-diagnostic educational assessment, not a medical-grade or validated IQ test. No clinical equivalence or established accuracy rate is claimed. Do not use the score for hiring, educational placement, clinical assessment or legal decisions.

Reading the illustrative scale

Above 130More than +2 SDabout 2%
115 to 130+1 to +2 SDabout 14%
85 to 115Within ±1 SDabout 68%
70 to 85−2 to −1 SDabout 14%
Below 70Less than −2 SDabout 2%

Rounded areas under an assumed normal curve centred on 100 with standard deviation (SD) 15. These are mathematical model shares, not measured shares of people or YouriQ users; endpoints have zero area in the continuous model.

Research, question design and validation plan

Personal exploration, not professional evaluation

YouriQ is an educational reasoning exercise, not a diagnostic tool or a substitute for an appropriate professional assessment. If you need advice about learning, memory or cognitive health, speak with a qualified professional rather than relying on this score.
