About the methodology
Hans Jürgen Eysenck was born in 1916 in Berlin and emigrated to Great Britain in 1934. He became a professor of psychology at the University of London and founded the psychology department at the Institute of Psychiatry. Eysenck published over 80 books and 1,600 scientific articles, making him one of the most productive scientists in the history of psychology.
His IQ tests cover five main types of cognitive tasks: number sequences (identifying patterns in number series), mathematical calculations (arithmetic and algebra), verbal analogies (understanding logical connections between words), letter patterns (recognizing patterns in letter sequences), and logical problems (deductive reasoning). This variety of tasks allows assessment of different aspects of intelligence. The distinctive feature of Eysenck's methodology is that it requires no specialized knowledge or training.
The test measures innate cognitive abilities: information processing speed, working memory, abstract thinking, and logical analysis. This makes results independent of education level or cultural context. The testing methodology has been validated multiple times across different countries. Results correlate with other standardized intelligence tests such as WAIS and Raven's Progressive Matrices. Eysenck's tests are used in educational and clinical institutions worldwide as a reliable tool for primary cognitive assessment.

Frequently asked questions
What is the Eysenck IQ test?
It is a scientific intelligence test developed by British psychologist Hans Eysenck. The test consists of 40 tasks of different types: number sequences, mathematics, verbal analogies, letter patterns, and logic problems. It measures the overall level of cognitive abilities.
How long does it take to complete?
Recommended time: 30 minutes. You can take it without time limits, but try not to take too long for accuracy. Quick and precise thinking is also an indicator of intelligence.

How accurate is this test?
Eysenck's tests have been internationally validated and correlate with other standard intelligence tests (WAIS, Raven). It is a reliable primary assessment tool, though professional testing is recommended for clinical conclusions.
