Core Brain vs RIOT IQ Test
RIOT IQ is one of the more rigorous online tests, used by the cognitive testing community. Worth comparing directly.
| RIOT IQ | Core Brain | |
|---|---|---|
| Format | 45-min adaptive test, $49.99 to see results, peer-normed against high-IQ society members | 20-min calibrated test, $15 unlock, normed against general population distribution |
| Methodology | Adaptive IRT | IRT 3PL Bayesian MAP |
| Confidence interval | Yes | Yes (95% CI) |
| Six-axis breakdown | No | Yes |
| Time | 45 min | 20 min |
| Cost | $49.99 | $15 |
Verdict
RIOT IQ is more comprehensive and has stronger high-end ceiling (better for testing above 145). Core Brain is faster and cheaper, with six-axis breakdown the RIOT IQ doesn't offer.
