Our story

We ourselves have also had our 'career moments'. It was the reason for us to start 123test. Good tests were highly inaccessible for individuals, we wanted to change that as well. Our story is also your story. Because we understand that, we try to make a test for every issue, of quality, free and in understandable language. Totally focused on your strengths as well. For extensive results we sometimes charge a fee. This is clearly indicated in advance, of course. Above all, we want the tests to be useful for you and to help you move forward. Hopefully you will tell others about us!

Our office is located at the Radboud University Nijmegen in the Netherlands, we have a core team of owners/employees who run daily business combined with people from all over the world.

Tests are based on cognitive science

Our research staff is headed by Edwin van Thiel, PhD in Artificial Intelligence and Psychometrics, who is the co-founder and co-owner of the 123test Company. We aim to be the best in IQ and personality testing and career assessment. Our tests are free and fast, but they also have to be scientifically valid and reliable. To achieve all of these goals, for the last ten years we have been using a special test development scheme that has been highly successful. It includes:

  • Using scientific literature as a theoretical basis for tests
  • Collecting massive amounts of empirical data to ensure representative sampling
  • Drawing upon the skills and experience of PhD level test developers
  • Generating valid reports through 'expert systems' based on empirical findings
  • And some other stuff we prefer not to say
