Proctored IQ Tests

Metis accepts qualifying results from recognized intelligence and cognitive assessments administered by a licensed psychologist or other appropriately qualified professional.

The examples below represent commonly recognized professionally administered assessments. Where an assessment has a published maximum score, the approximate ceiling is shown. For tests without a directly comparable IQ ceiling, the scoring range depends on the edition and normative system used.

• Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale (WAIS) / Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children (WISC) — David Wechsler
  Approximate ceiling: 160 on many editions
  Domains: Verbal comprehension, perceptual/fluid reasoning, working memory and processing speed
  Known acceptance: Metis, American Mensa, Intertel, International High IQ Society, GRIQ
• Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scales — Stanford-Binet / Binet-Simon tradition
  Approximate ceiling: 160 on the Stanford-Binet 5
  Domains: Fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing and working memory
  Known acceptance: Metis, American Mensa, Intertel, International High IQ Society, GRIQ
• Stanford-Binet 5 (SB5) — Gale H. Roid / Stanford-Binet
  Approximate ceiling: 160
  Domains: Fluid reasoning, knowledge, quantitative reasoning, visual-spatial processing and working memory
  Known acceptance: Metis, American Mensa, Intertel, International High IQ Society, GRIQ
• Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities — Woodcock-Johnson
  Approximate ceiling: Varies by edition and composite
  Domains: General intellectual ability, comprehension-knowledge, fluid reasoning, processing speed, short-term working memory and visual-spatial processing
  Known acceptance: Metis, American Mensa, Intertel, International High IQ Society, GRIQ
• Daniel's Figure Reasoning Test (FRT) — Daniel
  Approximate ceiling: Varies according to published norm
  Domains: Non-verbal reasoning, visual pattern recognition and abstract reasoning

• Reynolds Adaptable Intelligence Test (RAIT) — Cecil R. Reynolds
  Approximate ceiling: Varies by index and normative edition
  Domains: Verbal intelligence, non-verbal intelligence, memory and crystallized/fluid reasoning

• Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT) — American Guidance Service
  Approximate ceiling: Varies by edition and subtest
  Domains: Academic achievement, verbal knowledge, reading, mathematics and related educational abilities
  Known acceptance: Metis only
  Note: PIAT is an achievement assessment rather than a conventional full-scale intelligence test.
• Mensa Membership Qualification — Mensa
  Approximate ceiling: Depends on the qualifying assessment
  Domains: Depends on the underlying qualifying test; generally general cognitive or fluid reasoning
  A valid Mensa membership card or certificate may be submitted as evidence of qualification.
• American College Test (ACT) — ACT
  Approximate ceiling: 36 composite
  Domains: English, mathematics, reading and science reasoning
  Known acceptance: Metis; some high-IQ societies accept historical or qualifying college-admission scores subject to their own requirements
• Scholastic Aptitude Test (SAT) — College Board
  Approximate ceiling: 1600 on the current scale; historical scales differ
  Domains: Reading/writing and mathematical reasoning
  Known acceptance: Metis; some high-IQ societies accept qualifying historical SAT scores

Accepted Non-Proctored Tests

Metis recognizes a limited number of non-proctored assessments that have been developed for high-range cognitive assessment. Results must be submitted with sufficient documentation to verify the assessment, score, and identity of the test taker.

Only the first and second attempts are accepted where an attempt restriction applies.

  Note: These assessments were designed as open cognitive assessment resources rather than specifically as extended high-range IQ tests.

Approximate ceilings are provided as general indications only. Actual score ranges may vary according to the specific test, edition, scoring method, normative sample, and conversion system used.

If you have an IQ result that is not listed above, you may submit it to the Metis admissions team for consideration.
