The UKBB description says "You can skip questions and go back", but it won't actually allow you to skip questions. This seems like a significant difference.

Yeah, but you can just choose a random option. I am forcing people to guess because differences in skipping behavior (guessing at random gives you 1/5 point on average) impacts the score.

Are the centiles based on only your site, or all data? Specifically on the fluid reasoning test, the "percentile" and the "centile" it gives me are vastly different. If my score is in the 50th centile for Emil Kirkegaard readers that's fine, but if it's out of everybody, I'm fucked 🤣

Maybe this is a sign that the mouse over is not sufficient.

It’s at least not sufficiently midwit-friendly.

So based off the UKBB results, I scored in the 44th percentile for those who took the test via your website, and 94th percentile for the data taken by the UK Biobank.

For your figure reasoning test I scored a 28/44, is there a way to convert this into an IQ score?

When I clicked any of the links I got this (or a similar) error message:

This site can’t provide a secure connection

taketest.xyz sent an invalid response.

Try running Windows Network Diagnostics.

SSL is working fine, I don't know why you got that. You may want to do a hard refresh.

Following an instruction found by Googling, I pressed Control-Shift-F5 while the error message was on the screen, without visible result. Maybe it's just as well I can't try the tests!
