Accessibility statement

The IQ Gym aims to conform to WCAG 2.2 Level AA. Accessibility is treated as part of test fairness: a question that is hard to perceive or operate measures the interface, not reasoning.

What is in place

  • A skip-to-content link, and semantic landmarks (header, navigation, main, footer) on every page.
  • Full keyboard operation — every control, including the test player and answer options, is reachable and operable without a mouse, with a visible focus indicator.
  • Text and interface colours meet AA contrast in both light and dark themes.
  • No information is conveyed by colour alone. Figural questions use shape, fill pattern, and label rather than hue.
  • Motion respects prefers-reduced-motion; animations are reduced to near-instant when you ask your system for less motion.
  • Every form control has a programmatic label, and errors are announced rather than shown only in colour.
  • Pages declare their language and text direction, and the layout is built with logical properties so right-to-left languages render correctly.
  • Content is server-rendered, so it is available to assistive technology without waiting on JavaScript.

Known limitations

Some spatial and figural question types are inherently visual — mental rotation, paper folding, and cube nets depend on seeing a figure. We have no non-visual equivalent for these, and a screen-reader user cannot currently complete them. The verbal, numerical, and logic domains are fully accessible, and per-domain scoring means a partial profile is still reported honestly rather than silently penalised.

Timed tests

Assessments are timed, which can itself be a barrier. Untimed practice is available throughout the training area, and drills carry no clock. If a time limit prevents you from using The IQ Gym, contact us — we would rather adjust than exclude.

Feedback

If you hit an accessibility barrier, please tell us and we will treat it as a defect, not a feature request. Contact us.
