The SCARS Institute provides this tool as an educational estimate of cognitive reasoning across four domains. It is not a clinical or professionally administered IQ test. You can save it to share the results with your therapist or mental health professional.

## Cognitive Ability Test

This assessment measures four core areas of cognitive ability: pattern recognition, logical reasoning, verbal comprehension, and numerical reasoning. It is modelled on standard psychometric testing principles and produces an estimated IQ score.

Each question is timed. Work quickly but carefully — you have 45 seconds per question. Once the timer runs out the question is marked and you move on. There are 40 questions across 4 sections.

**Important.** This is an educational assessment, not a clinical or professionally administered IQ test. Validated IQ measurement requires standardised conditions and professional administration. This tool provides an *estimate* of cognitive ability based on your performance across four reasoning domains. Results should be taken as directional, not definitive. Do not make important life decisions based on this score alone.
