Have you ever wanted to find out what your real IQ score is?

Here at FunEducation.com, we offer an IQ test for free that is PhD-certified and quite accurate.  Many other websites offer a short 10 question quiz and claim to be able to come up with a score based on those couple answers, but there is really no way that short of a quiz can be accurate.  Some of those sites don't even give you a real score, just generalities.  What we offer is different.  We have a PhD-Certified 43-question quiz that tests your cognitive performance in several key areas including word analysis and spatial reasoning.

Our Premium IQ Test is a free test, so find out your IQ score today!


As we start to dig into the new year many are fast at work on their resolutions.  Once again the most common resolution is to lose weight.  This focus on the body is indeed important, but sometimes overlooked is the mind.  Our brain needs just as much of a workout as our thighs or belly.

A great way to keep our mind in shape is to take tests and quizzes designed to challenge ourselves.  Our online IQ Test is a great free quiz that does just that.  Or perhaps take our "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?" quiz to challenge yourself with actual 5th grade materials.

Here at FunEducation, we are committed to providing quality testing that is backed by years of research and development by PhD-level clinical psychologists.  For years, we have offered such "PhD-Certified" tests and quizzes as our Free IQ Test, Kids IQ Test, and Personality Test.  These assessment tests have been enjoyed by over 3 million people to date since 1999 when we first went online.

As a demonstration of our committment to accurate exams, we have launched the new mini website, CertifiedIQTest.com.  That site provides information about our popular PhD-Certified IQ Test product as well as valuable information on what an IQ Score actually is.

This week saw record losses in the US stock markets.  The DOW Industrials closed on Friday at below 9,000 points, its lowest level in four years.  Investor confidence is near an all-time low.  The housing market, gas and food prices, and many other industries seem to ever more volatile than before.  What about your job?

If you are in the construction, mortgage, or transportation industries most likely you have already felt the effects of a tightening economy.  Perhaps you even lost your job or are one of the lucky ones who still has a job but for how long?  In the Business Week article, “How to Bounce Back from Career Setbacks”, Marshall Goldsmith outlines how we can mentally deal with the setbacks that come with this uncertain economy of ours.

Now is a better time than ever to start re-examining your career options and seeing what else is out there that you might be good at.  Why not start with something fun like a free IQ Test or “Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?” free quiz.  Then when you are ready to tackle it, try our in-depth Career Personality Test.  That Career Test will give you insight into your personality and what career options would be a good suit for you.  From there, you can determine whether you need to go back to school for a new degree or can explore new career options directly.  Taking a quiz like this would be a great free way to start doing something about the uncertainty in your career and not wait until it comes crashing down around you!

All of the ups and downs of the mortgage industry over the last five years has come with both great wealth and great losses.  Some invested wisely and made a fortune.  Some took out bad loans and lost their livelihood.  Some brokers sold loans honestly, most did not.

With all of this investor turmoil, we have to also look at how the ups and downs affected the job market.  From 2002-2005 we saw a enormous increase in housing industry jobs including mortgage brokers and real estate agents.  As the market cooled, those jobs went away.  According to monster.com, one out of every six job losses in 2008 came from the financial sector.

So, what are former finance industry workers to do now?  Why not start with a free career test and find your perfect alternate career!  Perhaps your perfect career is actually as a teacher... or government worker.  Perhaps you are best suited for hotel management.  Take one of our free quizzes today!

Are you the type of person who has to see something in order to fully understand it?  For example, a diagram with a concise pictorial representation makes much more sense than a chart with a bunch of words and numbers.  If this describes you, then you are most likely a visual learner and not an auditory learner.

There is nothing wrong with either type of person, but how you study and understand the world might be very different.  Since ideal methods of learning need to differentiate, why not methods of testing?  That is a main reason why we created our Spatial IQ Test.  It provides a visually-based alternative to the standard IQ Test for those of us like myself who best learn visually.

The Spatial IQ Test is a free quiz, so why not give it a try and test out your intelligence, spatially!


If you have ever had a son or daughter bring home a piece of homework that you had no clue how to complete yourself, then you're not alone!  Many of us who have children face this staunch realization of how much knowledge we have actually forgotten from our school years.  Has time really worked that much havoc on our factual knowledge skills?

At FunEducation, there is a way to fine-tune those factual knowledge skills in a fun and informative way.  Complete a free quiz and find out once and for all the answer to the infamous question, "Are You Smarter than a Fifth Grader?".

Perhaps it would be better to start with 1st grade.  You can also test your 1st grade factual knowledge against our new "Are You Smarter than a First Grader?" free quiz.

The questions for both of these free quizzes are taken directly from actual 1st and 5th grade content standards.  This is the exact material real 1st and 5th graders are studying today.  Both tests are free, so you have nothing to lose!  Take a quiz now and find out if you really are smarter than a 5th grader.


How much money does my neighbor (or coworker or friend or ...) make?

Even though most would not ask this question out loud, it is still in the back of many of our minds.  This question is a part of our curiosity and maybe even our competitive drive.  While it might not be a good thing to actually ask your neighbors or friends about their finances, it is definitely beneficial to understand the career options out there.  This is especially true if you are struggling to make ends meet and want something better for the future.

What about checking out the MSN article, "How Long ‘Til You Earn Your First Million?".  The article includes a list of current salaries for a variety of career options.

Ok, so now you know how much a neighbor or friend in a different career might be making, but how do you know which career is right for you?  

At FunEducation, we offer several free tests and quizzes to explore what career would be best for you.  The best and most accurate one is the Free Career Test. This test gives you a very detailed 3-section report about your personality and which career would best fit that personality.

You might also try the free quiz, the Business Management Aptitude Test.  That test allows you to see if you are indeed management material or need additional education to accomplish this goal.

We also have links to career-oriented free tests and quizzes such as the Free Career Test, the online Free IQ Test, and many others.

You hear the term, "IQ", used everywhere.  What's my sports IQ?  What's my 5th Grader IQ?  How well do you score on IQ Tests and Quizzes?  How much lower is Bush's IQ than mine?

Where does this term actually come from and what does it stand for?  IQ stands for Intelligence Quotient in English and is the translation of the German phrase, Intelligenz-Quotient, which was coined by the German psychologist, William Stern, in 1912.  Modern IQ tests measure intelligence based on a Gaussian bell curve with a median value of 100.  This means that 100 is used as the baseline for intelligence tests.  Those who score below 100 on IQ Tests are considered below average and scores above 100 on IQ Tests are considered above average.  Of course realizing a score on one particular IQ Test or other free quizzes such as the Free IQ Test does not deliver the entire picture of intelligence.  Many people are more visual learners and others are more auditory learners.  This is one factor that could affect intelligence scores. 

When taking IQ Tests on our website, we recommend taking both the Verbal Free IQ Test and the Free Spatial IQ Test.  That will test you in several different ways so you can be sure to get an accurate score.


Did you see the MSN article, "Why Americans Aren't Dumb?"

It outlines the suggestion that we are entering a dark age of reason due to our "WII-playing" ways but then counters that by saying that our average IQ has increased steadily for decades.  Are we really Smarter than a Fifth Grader?  Are we increasing in intelligence from generation to generation or are we losing ground?

Kids seem to be doing both.  They are excelling at certain academic areas and yet the average American student can't pick out America on the map.  But could the average American ever do this?

Why not try these concepts out yourself.  We offer a Kids IQ Test and a Free IQ Test for adults.  If you have kids, you can have them take their IQ Test, you can take your free quiz, and then both of you can compare the results!  Post your results as a comment to this blog.

The Free IQ Test on our FunEducation.com website consists of four distinct sections: quantitative, spatial, verbal, words, and fill in the blank.  Each are designed to test a different area of intelligence to generate the final IQ score.  From my experience, the most intriguing aspects of tests like this is the elements of spatial reasoning.  What I mean by spatial reasoning is thinking about objects and space and using those mental visual images to calculate answers.  For some people, this can be quite challenging, for others it is quite easy.

The Free IQ Test is a 42-question test which will give a mostly accurate IQ score especially for a test of its brevity.  If you want an even more accurate assessment, why not take the Spatial IQ Quiz which is a 200-item test and goes into more depth.  This will give you the opportunity to test out those spatial reasoning skills!  And best of all, it is FREE!
