Dr. Reichel's IQ Test

This test has very strict time limits for certain parts of the test such as the problem solving, logic problems, and the spatial reasoning sections. The correct answers to the questions in the "technical reasoning" section are questionable especially the one about the scissors and the gears. Some of the odd one out questions can have multiple answers depending on how you define the words... Same with the analogies.. I do not think these questions were well developed nor are there enough for each section to be all that reliable and produce accurate results... Scored a 117 the first time and 125 the 2nd... Don't know how me getting 4 hours of sleep plays into that, but on one other IQ test that was actually developed by a psychologist in a book I scored a 132... Not sure how reliable the claims of this app are.

When I first buy this gaem: I expect veery high eye que. How ever, wen my eye queue was 69., I did not appreecraited. I wanted may 2 dollar back.

Unlike other iPhone (or really, most popular "do-it-yourself") IQ tests which focus solely on one area or another, this one gives questions in all areas intelligence must be measured in. Obviously, this cannot take the place of a legitimate psychiatrist, but it does give a good ballpark image of the user's IQ. For example, taking into account test deviance, my own was reported by psychiatrists as between 148 and 153, and this test reported 144 (though I understand it does not test past 145). This is less than one-half a standard deviation's difference (the standard deviation of IQs is 15), which makes this test, in my experiences, a relatively decent measure. A note of warning, though - knowing your own IQ changes nothing in your life. You're just as smart as you were before you knew.

response required

To start, it is a good app. The issue is that it should allow the user to better themselves within the categories that he/she is weak at. It also should teach the user. If you take the exam once, the same set of questions will be asked when you take it again. It shouldn't give you the same exacted questions. For example; there should be like 700 total questions if not more, covering 7 categories, 100 per category. And each time you take it would constantly change the question, and also give you the option to study per category.

Well made and well-designed app. At first I was a little peeved that this relatively expensive app only included one IQ test. But my roommate, who's studying psychology, explained to me that you can't get an accurate result when you take another test that's similar to one you already took, so that actually makes sense, I'd even say it's a sign that this is a serious IQ test.
