How Atlas scores your reasoning assessment.
Atlas describes performance on its own questions across four reasoning domains. Its scores help you reflect on this assessment; they do not measure IQ or rank you against the population.
How many questions count toward the result?
Atlas contains 28 questions across Abstract, Logical, Numerical and Spatial Reasoning. Each domain has seven questions: six scored questions and one unscored calibration question. That makes 24 scored questions and four unscored questions in total.
You receive one version of each question in your assessment. There is no time limit. Calibration answers and response time do not affect scores or report interpretation.
How are the domain scores calculated?
Each domain has a raw score from 0 to 6, based on the number of scored questions answered correctly. Atlas converts that count to the following fixed display scale:
| Correct out of 6 | Display score |
|---|---|
| 0 | 0 |
| 1 | 17 |
| 2 | 33 |
| 3 | 50 |
| 4 | 67 |
| 5 | 83 |
| 6 | 100 |
For example, four correct scored answers in one domain produce a display score of 67. The same raw score always produces the same display score. The overall reasoning result is calculated separately from the total number of correct answers across all 24 scored questions.
Does a score of 67 mean the 67th percentile?
No. A domain display score of 67 means four of that domain’s six scored questions were answered correctly. It does not mean you scored above 67% of people, and it is not an IQ of 67.
The report compares results across your four domains within this assessment. When supported by those results, it describes relatively stronger and lower areas, ties, and balanced or varied profiles. A score of 100 means six correct scored answers in that domain; it does not mean perfect reasoning ability.
What can this assessment not establish?
- It does not provide an IQ score, percentile or population rank.
- It is not population normed and does not estimate a precise psychometric trait.
- It is not diagnostic and is not intended for medical, hiring, placement or educational suitability decisions.
- With six scored questions per domain, it is a limited sample of performance rather than a comprehensive measure of reasoning ability.
- Results can reflect the assessment content, conditions, attention and ordinary measurement uncertainty.
Use the report as a starting point for personal reflection and practice. It does not replace a professionally administered assessment when you need a standardized or clinical evaluation.
How are practice questions and the paid report different?
The free practice questions teach methods through original examples and worked answers. They are separate from the scored assessment bank and never change your assessment result.
The full assessment provides a free overall result and personalized summary. The optional paid report adds domain scores and deeper interpretation; payment does not change how your responses are scored. Compare what is free and paid, or view an illustrative report.
