About Verbal IQ Tests

Verbal IQ tests measure your language-based reasoning abilities, including vocabulary knowledge, reading comprehension, and the ability to understand word relationships. These tests assess crystallized intelligence - the knowledge and skills you've acquired through education and experience.

How Verbal IQ Tests Work

Step 1: Read Carefully

Each question tests vocabulary, analogies, or comprehension. Read all words and options carefully before answering.

Step 2: Find Relationships

For analogies, identify the relationship between the first pair of words, then apply that same relationship to find the answer.

Step 3: Eliminate & Select

Use process of elimination - rule out clearly wrong answers first, then choose the best remaining option.

Pro Tip: For word analogies, identify the type of relationship: synonyms, antonyms, part-to-whole, cause-effect, degree of intensity, or category membership. Once you identify the relationship type, finding the correct answer becomes much easier.

Frequently Asked Questions

These skills reflect crystallized intelligence - knowledge acquired through learning and experience.

How are verbal IQ scores calculated?

Verbal IQ scores are calculated using the Wechsler scale with a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15.

What is a good verbal IQ score?

On the Wechsler scale, 90-109 is considered average, 110-119 is high average, 120-129 is superior, and 130+ is very superior (top 2%). About 68% of people score between 85-115. Verbal IQ often correlates with educational achievement, writing ability, and communication skills.
