Medius Cifra Abstrusa is a culture-fair, abstract numerical IQ test designed to strike a balance between easy and challenging puzzles.
The test incorporates novel formats and ideas, so as to sidestep potential practice effects.
Note that while a pocket calculator may be useful on occasion, it is rarely necessary.
