Looking for EQ & IQ Tests online: Anyone? - bjcheung77 - 10-11-2021
Hi everyone, I'm looking for EQ & IQ tests online. Anyone know of any "good" yet "reputable" sites out there?
I was using Brainable (I think that's what it's called) or whatever, that site really is amateur, and so much spam after you do the test, I dislike it!
Anyone got recommendations that you use? Please and Thanks in Advance!
BTW, I came across a page a while ago, I never knew there were so many "Q's"

There are no good online IQ tests. Sometimes, MENSA lets you take their online practice test for free. Otherwise, I think it's about $18. Berkeley's EQ test is based on being able to recognize facial expressions. People on the autism spectrum tend to struggle with this.

Seconded. Any reputable site will tell you that such tests need to be administered by a professional to be valid.

My son had an IQ test when he was little. I remember there was a component related to fine motor skills. That is possibly one of the reasons for having an in person test administered.

Mensa now administers the RAIT as their standard qualifying membership test through Prometric testing centers, and the fee is nominal compared to having the same instrument administered by a mental health clinician. The caveat is that they wont release the scores directly to you, as psychological instruments such as the RAIT need to be interpreted by a clinician. They will send the results to your clinician though, indicating the scoring. Otherwise they'll just tell you if you meet the </=2% IQ threshold required for membership, or not.

In the "HIQ" community Paul Cooijman is a name you'll hear about frequently, he is something of an amateur-professional in the field of designing and norming tests for the upper range of IQ, and I have taken several of his tests over the years which generally put me in the same percentile as the RAIT and other psychologist administered exams I've taken in my life. They're really pretty good and entertaining. He does offer one free test (the Gliaweb Riddled Intelligence Test) and many others for nominal fees: See https://iq-tests-for-the-high-range.com/tests.html
You do have to sign up to receive Paul's newsletter to receive access to the free test, and it's a little bit of an eccentric process: https://paulcooijmans.com/gwn/

Schools that train PhD level Clinical Psychologists teach these testing skills to their students and the students, in turn, have to practice administering the various tests to people. You can sometimes volunteer to be a test subject and get an entire psych testing battery done for free. The student administering the test is still "unofficial" but they're being supervised by a pro and so the results are likely to be pretty reliable.

The recommended qualifications for interpreting the RAIT are interesting.
A degree from an accredited 4-year college or university in psychology, counseling, speech-language pathology, or a closely related field plus satisfactory completion of coursework in test interpretation, psychometrics and measurement theory, educational statistics, or a closely related area; or license or certification from an agency that requires appropriate training and experience in the ethical and competent use of psychological tests.
