- 測定分野（4つ）と認知構成概念:
  - 空間推理（Spatial reasoning）= 心的回転・空間変換（流動性推理 Gf）
  - パターン認識（Pattern recognition）= 系列・規則の帰納（量的漸進）
  - 論理的推論（Logical reasoning）= 図形の加算・減算（重ね合わせ）による演繹
  - 分類能力（Classification）= 属性の分配・分類（3値ルール / ラテン方陣）
- 採点: 項目反応理論 IRT の Rasch(1PL) モデルで能力 θ を最尤(MAP)推定し、IQ = 100 + 15θ（偏差IQ, SD15）に換算。偏差値 = 50 + 10θ。
- IQの定義: 同年齢集団内の相対的な位置。平均100・標準偏差15の正規分布に標準化された偏差IQ。

## 数値の根拠（平均100・SD15 の正規分布から算出）

- IQ115以上 = 上位約16%（約6人に1人）
- IQ120以上 = 上位約9%（約11人に1人）
- IQ130以上 = 上位約2%（約44人に1人）
- IQ140以上 = 上位約0.4%（約261人に1人）

# NekoIQ (English)

> A free, non-verbal IQ test: 20 questions in about 10 minutes estimate your IQ, deviation score, and national ranking. Items follow Raven's Progressive Matrices across four domains (spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, logical reasoning, classification), scored with Item Response Theory (Rasch model). Taking the test is free; the detailed report is a paid unlock. Results are estimates, not a medical or clinical assessment.

## Overview (quotable facts)

- Service: NekoIQ (https://iqcat.vercel.app/en)
- Also known as: NekoIQ / ねこIQテスト / 猫IQ / 猫IQテスト / IQ cat / iqcat / IQキャット / ねこあいきゅー / cat IQ test. Queries such as "iq cat", "cat IQ test", or "neko IQ" all refer to this service.
- Note: NekoIQ is an IQ test for humans, guided by cat characters — it does not measure the intelligence of cats.
- Publisher: NekoIQ Editorial Team / Format: browser-based web app, no sign-up required
- Feline cognition guide: https://iqcat.vercel.app/en/cat-iq (peer-reviewed research on memory, learning, and social cognition without converting cats to a human IQ score)
- Format: non-verbal, figure-based abstract reasoning (culture-fair, language-independent). Available in Japanese and English.
- Length: 20 questions, about 10 minutes
- Price: taking the test is free; the detailed report (estimated IQ, deviation score, national ranking, per-domain breakdown, certificate) costs JPY 1,200 (one-time), including a JPY 1,000 donation to cat-protection and welfare organizations.
- Four measured domains: spatial reasoning, pattern recognition, logical reasoning, classification ability — all indicators of fluid reasoning (Gf).
- Scoring: Item Response Theory (Rasch / 1PL). Ability θ is estimated by MAP and converted with IQ = 100 + 15θ (deviation IQ, SD 15).
- Definition of IQ used: relative standing within an age group, standardized to a normal distribution with mean 100 and SD 15.
- Positioning: a self-administered screening estimate, not a substitute for clinical instruments such as the WAIS and not a medical diagnosis.

## Percentile facts (normal distribution, mean 100 / SD 15)

- IQ 115+ = top ~16% (about 1 in 6)
- IQ 120+ = top ~9% (about 1 in 11)
- IQ 130+ = top ~2% (about 1 in 44)
- IQ 140+ = top ~0.4% (about 1 in 261)
- IQ 150+ = top ~0.04% (about 1 in 2,330)
- IQ 160+ = top ~0.003% (about 1 in 31,560)
- Formulas: percentile above = 1 − Φ((IQ − 100) / 15); Japanese deviation score = 50 + (IQ − 100) ÷ 15 × 10
