Important Notice About GAIN Admissions Tests
Only the GAIN Admissions Test I is the official admissions test for GAIN's Metis High IQ Society. To qualify for consideration, you must:
- Take Test I.
- Achieve a minimum IQ score of 125 (SD 15).
- Use only your 1st or 2nd attempt; later attempts do not count.
All other tests (GAIN Admissions Test II–VII) are currently experimental and may be used for research purposes only. Scores from these tests do not currently confer membership eligibility.
If you meet the eligibility criteria via Test I, you may join Metis by paying the lifetime membership fee. Once your payment is processed, an admin will add you as a member.

Experimental Admissions Tests
These experimental admissions tests are designed to explore advanced reasoning, pattern recognition, and abstract problem-solving ability. They are currently offered as a research-oriented assessment, intended to evaluate their suitability for future use in formal admissions.
Purpose of the Tests
The primary goal of these tests is to collect performance data under real testing conditions. Your participation helps refine item difficulty, scoring models, and normative accuracy.
GAIN Admissions Test IV Structure
- 24 spatial reasoning items
- Total duration: 15 minutes
GAIN Admissions Test VI Structure
- 24 spatial reasoning items
- Total duration: 15 minutes
GAIN Admissions Test VII Structure
- 22 spatial reasoning items
- Total duration: 15 minutes
What These Tests Measure
- Abstract and logical reasoning
- Pattern recognition and structural insight
- Spatial problem-solving
- Reasoning speed under controlled conditions
Important Notice
These assessments are experimental and not yet fully normed. Results do not currently guarantee eligibility for admission into any organization unless explicitly stated otherwise.
Once sufficient participation has been reached, the tests may transition from experimental status to formally normed admissions instruments.
Who Should Take These Tests?
These tests are suitable for individuals who enjoy challenging cognitive tasks, have prior experience with high-difficulty reasoning problems, or are interested in contributing to the development of advanced assessments.
Begin the Tests
The tests are timed and should be taken in a quiet environment without interruptions. Please ensure you are prepared before starting.
