Riot IQ Unveils RIOT: A Scientifically Validated Online IQ Test for the Digital Age

Florida – March 20, 2025 –Riot IQ, a rising leader in online cognitive assessment, has launched the RIOT (Reasoning and Intelligence Online Test), a groundbreaking professional-grade IQ test designed specifically for digital accessibility. The RIOT delivers scientifically validated results and aligns with industry standards, and it promises to offer individuals, researchers, and professionals a reliable and modern measure of cognitive ability in a fully online format.

A New Standard in Online Intelligence Testing

 

The RIOT is based on the Cattell-Horn-Carroll (CHC) model of intelligence, a widely respected framework in cognitive science. It evaluates five core indices: Verbal Reasoning, Fluid Reasoning, Spatial Ability, Working Memory, and Processing Speed. The test comprises 15 subtests and can be completed in under 60 minutes. Users receive a full-scale IQ score ranging from 75 to 145, along with T-scores for each index.

 

“We’ve blended over a century of intelligence research with state-of-the-art technology,” said Dr. Russell T. Warne, Chief Scientist at Riot IQ and a recognized expert in the study of intelligence. “RIOT sets a new benchmark for what online IQ testing can achieve.”

 

 

Key Features of RIOT

 

 

·         Scientifically Validated: The RIOT meets professional standards set by the American Educational Research Association (AERA), the American Psychological Association (APA), and the National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME). The test has undergone extensive psychometric validation for accuracy, reliability, and fairness.

 

·       Professional-Grade Assessment: The test structure aligns with traditional IQ assessments used in clinical, academic, and research settings, offering detailed insights into problem-solving ability, logical reasoning, and cognitive efficiency.

 

·       Rigorous Expert Review: A panel of specialists in cognitive psychology and psychometric testing conducted a sensitivity review to ensure that all examinees are treated fairly, regardless of their race, ethnicity, or cultural background. The RIOT has also been subjected to rigorous statistical tests for test bias.

 

·       Diverse Testing Approach: The RIOT incorporates a variety of subtests including visual puzzles, verbal questions, pattern recognition tasks, and timed exercises for a comprehensive and balanced evaluation of cognitive ability without favoring any single skill set.

 

 

 

         Detailed Cognitive Profile: The RIOT provides comprehensive feedback, offering insightful analysis across five key intelligence domains to help individuals better understand their cognitive abilities and potential for growth.

 

         Accessible and Efficient: The 60-minute online format allows users to complete the test from anywhere with internet access, making high-quality intelligence assessment available outside of traditional testing environments. Shorter test versions are available as well.

 

 

Advancing Intelligence Testing with Continuous Development

 

 

RIOT follows a continuous development model, allowing its design, content, and scoring to evolve alongside advancements in the industry. New questions will be added, and older questions will be retired to maintain test integrity and relevance. Riot IQ also plans to enhance the scoring algorithms and subtest administration through technical improvements, refining the precision and usability of the test over time. This continuous development process will keep the test adaptable and responsive to the latest research in intelligence measurement, cognitive processing, and test fairness. By incorporating modern innovations in psychometric testing, RIOT remains an evolving tool for individuals and professionals seeking a reliable and contemporary online IQ test.

 

This approach aligns with open science principles, making the RIOT the most transparent intelligence test on the market. Test data and analysis computer code will be made freely available, allowing the RIOT to be audited by independent, external professionals. Additionally, a full test manual describing every step of development and validation will be available for interested scientists or the public.

 

 

Expanding Access and Future Plans

 

 

Currently normed on U.S. adults, RIOT is undergoing adaptation for additional languages and cultural contexts. Riot IQ is also exploring the expansion of its platform to include other scientifically validated psychological assessments, further supporting researchers and professionals worldwide.

 

“We believe that intelligence testing should be accessible, precise, and inclusive, and we are committed to continuously refining and expanding the RIOT to meet the needs of individuals, researchers, and professionals worldwide,” adds Dr. Warne.
