Built by people who spend
way too much time on Twitter
We're a small, US-based team of developers and digital nerds who got tired of wondering "is this person actually smart or just loud?" — so we built the tool to find out.
Our Story
IQ Checker started as a late-night side project with a simple premise: what if you could turn someone's Twitter presence into a fun, shareable number? Not a real clinical score — we're not neuroscientists — but something that captures the energy of a profile in a way that's instantly entertaining and wildly shareable.
It was 1:47 AM in Austin. We'd been arguing about whether a certain tech founder's tweets were actually brilliant or just confidently vague. Someone said "I wish there was a tool for this." Two weeks of coding later, there was.
What started as a weekend experiment turned into something people genuinely loved. We fine-tuned the algorithm, polished the result cards until they screenshot beautifully, and shipped it. We're proud that the tool is honest about what it is — pure entertainment — while still feeling real enough to spark a conversation.
Today, IQ Checker has analyzed millions of profiles and sparked thousands of friendly arguments between friends, coworkers, and Twitter mutuals. We're still a small team, still based in the US, and still having fun with it.
What We Actually Believe
We built IQ Checker around a few principles that we don't negotiate on, no matter how much the site grows.

We read every message and respond within 48 hours — no bots, just us.
The People Behind the Score
Small team. Big opinions about Twitter. Based across the United States.
Full-stack developer and chronic Twitter lurker. Jordan built the first version of IQ Checker in two weeks, mostly because he lost a bet about whether a certain politician tweets at a 6th-grade reading level. (They do.) He handles all the architecture, algorithm design, and 3 AM bug fixes.
