Frequently Asked Questions

Do you have a question? You can ask it via email at skillitani@gmail.com.

Can you tell me more about the competition?

The competition will run for three (3) months and reward monetary prizes to the top three scorers of Eclipses before 1 April 2025. The overall winner will be awarded 30% of all Eclipses testing fees for the competition period, second place 20%, and third place 10%. So, if 100 contestants enter at 10 USD each, the winner gets 300 USD, 2nd place 200 USD, and 3rd 100 USD. Payments will be made through PayPal.

When will the norms be updated for a test?

The norms for each test are updated on a case-by-case basis. Sometimes, relatively few testees provide prior I.Q. scores, so I don't have much data to work with. Regardless, a histogram is published at 8 submissions and updated at 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, ... submissions. Ideally, a full statistical report and first "official" norms occur at 32 submissions.

How many tests do you plan on publishing? When will they be published?

I'll probably publish a new test every 6-12 months from here on. I'm too busy outside of the I.Q. world to continue publishing tests at my 2024 pace.

Why was Wonderland Test revised twice?

The first revision occurred because one of the analogies in Wonderland Test was solvable using artificial intelligence, which was unacceptable to me. The second revision was prompted by realizing that the test was too brief to be meaningful.

Which I.Q. test is your favorite?

My favorite test is Numerus Strictus Logicae 36 by Andrei Udriste. It's the most beautiful and novel test that I've ever seen.
