3,813 people in Germany took the same 20-question IQ test as everyone else on the map. Germany ranks #16 of 53 countries.
People who took the test in German scored higher than people from Germany who took it in another language — 104.8 vs 101.7 (2,486 vs 1,327 people). That is most likely a translation or localization effect, not a claim about anyone's ability — see the method page for the full country-by-country breakdown.
Germany is one of 27 countries in a same-language check of these scores against school results and income — see the method page.
100 is the average score of everyone who has taken the test since 2026-07-15, and 15 points is one standard deviation. People choose to take the test online, so this shows how Germany's test-takers scored — it is not an official national measurement.
Every test adds to Germany's average. 20 questions, 5 minutes, free.
