MethodologySee evidence and limitations →Why the paid profile is different
Go beyond a single cognitive score.
This battery is for people who want a broader view of cognitive performance. It samples eight task families, then shows where your performance is consistent and where it changes with the type of demand.
Performance pattern, not one IQ number
The result compares task areas and highlights relative strengths and pressure points without inventing a population percentile.
Full report included
The $8.99 purchase includes domain interpretation, cross-task contrasts, limitations and targeted practice ideas.
Before you choose the paid tier
Know what this profile can answer before you pay.
This is a good fit if you want a broader performance map.
Choose the premium profile if you want to compare several cognitive task areas in one sitting, can give the battery a focused 10 to 14 minutes, and care more about your pattern across tasks than a single headline number.
Use a free test or formal assessment when that better matches the question.
A free domain test is enough if you only want to explore one skill. If you need a formally normed IQ score, employment testing or a neuropsychological evaluation, this browser profile is not a substitute for that kind of assessment.
Before you start
Treat this as a focused performance session, not a personality questionnaire.
Use a quiet setting, avoid calculators or outside help, and answer at a steady pace. Device, fatigue, language familiarity and interruptions can affect performance.
- 48 scored browser tasks across eight cognitive task areas.
- Your result shows eight domain scores plus a profile signature for within-profile contrasts.
- Complete it in one focused session without calculators, search or outside help.
- $8.99 includes the full detailed report with interpretation and practice ideas.
Method & limits
Use the pattern as a snapshot of performance, not a label.
This is an original DesperateMinds browser cognitive battery. It is not population normed, does not produce an IQ score, and is not a clinical neuropsychological assessment.
Performance can shift with device, fatigue, interruptions, language familiarity and practice. The most useful interpretation is the shape of your results across task types, considered alongside those conditions.
What you receive
See where performance holds up and where the task demand changes it.
Your report includes all eight domains, a profile signature, cross-domain contrasts, task-specific interpretation, practical practice ideas, reflection prompts and the complete detailed report included with the purchase.
Questions before buying
Questions to answer before choosing the cognitive profile
Is this an IQ test?
No. It samples several cognitive task areas, but it does not convert your performance into an IQ score or claim equivalence with a standardized intelligence test.
Will I get a percentile or ranking against other people?
No. The profile is not population normed, so it does not invent a percentile. The useful comparison is between your own task areas under the same session conditions.
Can device, fatigue or interruptions affect the result?
Yes. Processing speed, working memory and timed reasoning can be sensitive to the device you use, tiredness, distractions and how steadily you work. A quiet, focused session gives you a cleaner snapshot.
Should I retake it immediately if one domain is lower than expected?
Usually not. Repeating the same tasks too soon can introduce practice effects. Treat an unexpected result as a reason to consider the session conditions first rather than as proof of a fixed weakness.
What if I need a formal cognitive or neuropsychological assessment?
Use a qualified professional and an appropriately standardized instrument. This premium profile is educational and designed for self-reflection, not diagnosis, disability decisions, employment selection or formal IQ documentation.
