Meet your 3 psychologistsIn plain language: An IQ test measures how a person reasons, remembers, understands language and processes information. A professional IQ assessment uses internationally standardised tests, is given one-to-one by a trained psychologist, face to face, and ends with a report explaining strengths, difficulties and what to do next. It is very different from an online quiz.
The test
What our IQ assessment measures
We use the WASI-II (Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence, Second Edition), an internationally standardised Wechsler test for ages 6 to 89. It gives a reliable overall IQ score in a single, shorter session.
Non-verbal reasoning
Working out patterns and solving visual puzzles without relying on words.
Overall IQ score
A full-scale IQ, plus separate verbal and non-verbal scores that show where strengths and difficulties lie.
The report explains each score in plain language, compares it with others of the same age, and sets out practical next steps.
Understanding the score
IQ score ranges explained
IQ scores are set so that the average is 100. Most people, about two in three, score between 85 and 115. The score compares a person with others of the same age, so a 7-year-old and a 40-year-old are each compared with their own age group.
ScoreDescriptionPeople
130 and aboveExtremely highabout 2%
120 to 129Very highabout 7%

90 to 109Averageabout 50%
80 to 89Low averageabout 16%
70 to 79Very lowabout 7%
69 and belowExtremely lowabout 2%
A single number never tells the whole story. Your report also shows verbal and non-verbal scores, because a gap between them often explains why someone finds school or work harder than expected.
When it helps
When an IQ assessment is useful
Learning difficulties
A child struggles at school despite effort, and parents want to understand why.
Gifted or advanced learners
A child seems far ahead of classmates and may need more challenge.
ADHD or autism assessment
A cognitive profile helps a psychologist understand the full picture alongside an ADHD assessment.
School or study planning
Choosing the right school, subjects or support plan based on clear evidence.
Adults
Understanding your own strengths and difficulties for study, work or personal clarity.

2-minute IQ practice puzzles
Six quick puzzles similar in spirit to the reasoning tasks in a real IQ test. Have a go, then see the answers.
This is practice, not an IQ test. It gives no IQ score. A real IQ test is standardised for your age and given one-to-one by a psychologist.
Nice work. Remember: puzzles like these show nothing about your real IQ. Mood, sleep, practice and even the language of a question all change how people do on a quiz. A professional assessment controls for those things and compares you fairly with people your age.

Know the difference
Online IQ tests vs a professional assessment
Free online IQ quizzes are fun, but they are not standardised for age, are not supervised, and cannot be used for school, clinical or diagnostic decisions. A professional assessment uses tests normed on large populations, is given under controlled conditions by a trained psychologist, and explains what the scores mean for real life.
For parents
IQ test for children in Bangladesh: a short guide for parents
Parents usually ask for an IQ test when a child is working hard but results do not match the effort, when a teacher raises a concern, or when a child seems far ahead of classmates. The test can be done from age 6.
- What it can show: how your child reasons with words and with pictures, and whether there is a big gap between the two. That gap often explains why a bright child struggles with reading, writing or exams.
- What it cannot show: effort, character, creativity or future success. It is one piece of the picture, not a label.
- How to explain it to your child: “some puzzles and questions with a friendly psychologist.” There is nothing to study and no pass or fail.
- What to do with the report: share it with the school if you choose, use it to plan support, and ask the psychologist about next steps such as an ADHD assessment or support from a child psychologist.
Before the test
How to prepare
- Get a good night’s sleep and eat beforehand.
- Bring glasses or hearing aids if they are normally used.
- For children, explain it as “some puzzles and questions with a psychologist”, not a test to pass.
- Bring any school reports or previous assessments, if you have them.

Questions
Frequently asked questions
How much does an IQ test cost in Bangladesh?
At Chum Wellness the complete IQ assessment with a written report costs ৳7,000 with Tanvirul Alam, ৳8,000 with Sadia Arifin Runa or Tahmina Sarker Prokrity, and ৳10,000 with Hazera Khatun, for children and adults.
Which IQ test do you use?
We use the WASI-II (Wechsler Abbreviated Scale of Intelligence, Second Edition), an internationally standardised Wechsler test for ages 6 to 89. It gives a full-scale IQ plus verbal and non-verbal scores.
When will I get the report?
The written report is ready within 3 working days of the assessment.
Who carries out IQ tests at Chum?
Three clinical psychologists, all members of the Bangladesh Clinical Psychology Society: Tanvirul Alam (Green Road, Dhaka), Sadia Arifin Runa (Sylhet) and Hazera Khatun (Mohammadpur or Dhanmondi, Dhaka).
Can the IQ test be done online?
No. The IQ test is done in person only, so the psychologist can give the WASI-II under proper test conditions. You can come to Dhaka (Green Road, Mohammadpur or Dhanmondi) or Sylhet. Any therapy or follow-up afterwards can be online.
Can an IQ test diagnose a learning disability or ADHD?
Not on its own. An IQ test shows a cognitive profile, which a psychologist combines with history and other assessments. For attention concerns, see our ADHD assessment.
Is my child’s result confidential?
Yes. Results are shared only with you, and with a school or doctor only if you choose to share them.
What is a normal IQ score?
The average IQ score is 100. About half of people score between 90 and 109, which is described as average, and about two in three score between 85 and 115.
At what age can a child take an IQ test?
From age 6. The WASI-II we use covers ages 6 to 89 and compares each person with others of the same age.
Do I need a doctor’s referral for an IQ test?
No. You can book directly. If a school or doctor has asked for the test, bring their note so the psychologist can focus on their question.
Are free online IQ tests accurate?
Not for real decisions. Online quizzes are not standardised for age and are not supervised, so their scores cannot be used for school, clinical or diagnostic purposes. The practice puzzles on this page are for fun only and give no IQ score.
Can an IQ score change?
Adult scores are usually fairly stable. Children’s scores can shift as they grow and learn, so a child’s result describes how they are doing now, not a fixed limit.
