About

Institute of Cognition is an independent online assessment project focused on making structured cognitive challenges accessible through a clear, modern experience.

Our assessment explores several forms of reasoning — pattern recognition, numerical reasoning, logical reasoning and spatial reasoning — rather than relying on a single question format. Questions increase in difficulty as you progress, and your responses across all four areas are combined into a broader cognitive profile.

We are upfront about what the assessment is and isn't. It is a self-administered online tool intended for personal interest, not a clinical instrument. You can read more about exactly how scoring works on our methodology page.

This online assessment provides an estimate of cognitive performance and is not a substitute for a professionally administered standardized intelligence test.
