I recently took an IQ test online and was surprised by my score. I’m wondering what factors might influence the results. Does the time of day, stress level, or even how much sleep I got the night before make a difference? I’d love to know if there are ways to get a more accurate measurement.

Yes, several factors can affect your IQ test score! Your mental state plays a big role if you’re tired, stressed, or distracted, you might not perform at your best. Taking the test in a quiet environment and being well-rested can improve accuracy. Also, some tests are structured better than others. I found that this test https://www.worldiqtest.com/ provided a well-balanced set of questions that measured different cognitive abilities, giving a more accurate result.
