The bottom line
The most useful free option isn't a single "IQ number" — it's a profile that scores several distinct cognitive domains, so you can see where you're strong and where you have room to grow. MindBoost's free Cognitive Profile does exactly this in about seven minutes.

Why a profile beats a single score

Cognition isn't one thing. Someone can have an excellent memory but average processing speed, or sharp logic with developing verbal skills. A single number hides all of that. A domain profile shows the shape of your mind — which is what you actually need to study smarter or play to your strengths.

The seven domains worth measuring

DomainWhat it covers
MemoryHolding and recalling information
AttentionFiltering distraction, staying on task
Processing speedHow quickly you take in and act on information
LogicSpotting patterns and reasoning to a conclusion
SpatialManipulating shapes and space mentally
LanguageVocabulary and verbal reasoning
FlexibilitySwitching rules and adapting

How to do it for free, the right way

The MindBoost Cognitive Profile is built around these seven domains, is free to take, needs no account to start, and turns your result into a tuned study path instead of a label.
