The TaniLearn IQ Test 🧠
24 reasoning puzzles — pattern grids, sequences, number rules, shapes in space, logical deduction and word links — pitched at the age group of the player taking it. Your score is compared against what is typical for that age, and you get a bell curve showing where it sits, a percentile, a breakdown by thinking skill, a certificate — and a detailed assessment report: strengths, areas to grow, and the exact learning topics that train them, stored with the result so you can re-read it any time. One credit = one attempt.
A bit of fun, not a diagnosis — a real IQ assessment is done one-to-one by a psychologist over several hours.
What the test measures
The 24 puzzles are spread across six kinds of thinking. None of them test what a child has been taught at school — they test how that child works something out for the first time, which is why the test does not reward having studied beforehand.
- 🧩 Pattern grids — spotting the rule that completes a matrix.
- 🔮 Sequences — what comes next in a series.
- 🔢 Number rules — the arithmetic relationship hiding in a set of numbers.
- 📐 Shapes in space — rotating, reflecting and folding shapes mentally.
- 🕵️ Logical deduction — working out what must be true from a few clues.
- 📚 Word links — analogies and odd-one-out.
How the score works
The result is a deviation IQ, calculated the way real tests calculate it: the population average is set at 100 with a standard deviation of 15, and your child is placed on that scale against children of the same age — not against adults, and not against a fixed answer key. A six-year-old is measured against six-year-olds.
Scoring runs on our server and the answers are never sent to the browser, so the test cannot be read ahead or reverse-engineered from the page. Each question is timed on its own, and the correct answers carry a small adjustment for how quickly they came.
A note we would rather make loudly than bury: this is not a clinical assessment. A real IQ evaluation is administered one-to-one by a qualified psychologist over several hours. Treat this as an encouraging snapshot of how your child reasons — not a diagnosis, and not something to make decisions on.
Questions parents ask
What age is this IQ test for?
Children aged 5 to 14. The puzzles are pitched at the age group of the child taking the test, and the score is compared against what is typical for that same age — so a six-year-old is measured against six-year-olds, not against adults.
How is the score calculated?
As a deviation IQ, the way real tests do it: the population average is set at 100 with a standard deviation of 15, and your child's answers are placed on that scale relative to children of the same age. Scoring happens on our server — the answers never reach the browser — and the result includes a small adjustment for how quickly the correct answers were given.
What do the six thinking skills measure?
Pattern grids (spotting the rule that completes a matrix), Sequences (what comes next in a series), Number rules (the arithmetic relationship hiding in a set of numbers), Shapes in space (rotating, reflecting and folding shapes mentally), Logical deduction (working out what must be true from a few clues) and Word links (analogies and odd-one-out). Together they cover fluid reasoning rather than taught knowledge, so the test does not reward having already studied the material.
How long does the test take?
About 15 to 20 minutes for 24 questions. Each question is timed individually, so a child who gets stuck moves on rather than stalling, and the test cannot drag on indefinitely.
Is this a real IQ test?
No — and we would rather say so plainly. It is built on the same scoring mathematics as a real test and it gives a genuine age-normed estimate, but a clinical IQ assessment is administered one-to-one by a qualified psychologist over several hours and looks at far more than 24 puzzles. Treat this as an interesting, encouraging snapshot of how your child reasons, not as a diagnosis and not as anything to make decisions on.
What do we get at the end?
A score with its classification, a bell curve showing where that score sits among children of the same age, a percentile, a breakdown of results by each of the six thinking skills, a printable PDF certificate with their name on it, and a detailed assessment report — strengths, areas to grow and the learning topics that train them — stored with the result so it can be re-read any time.
How much does it cost, and can it be retaken?
One credit is one attempt. Credits are shared across the whole family, so you can test more than one child from the same parent account. Retaking is possible with another credit, though a second attempt on the same kind of puzzle usually scores a little higher simply through familiarity.
