Google's recently launched Gemini 3 Pro model has reportedly achieved an IQ score of 130 on an "offline" IQ test, a benchmark designed by a Mensa member and confirmed to be outside of any AI training data. This development, highlighted by AI engineer Rohan Paul, suggests a significant leap in artificial intelligence's reasoning capabilities, addressing concerns about models "memorizing" test answers.

The "Offline" IQ quiz is specifically designed to be inaccessible on the public internet, ensuring that AI models cannot have encountered its content during their training. Rohan Paul stated in a tweet, "Google's Gemini 3 Pro has topped IQ test with 130! The 'Offline' IQ quiz is a test made by a Mensa member that has never been on the public internet, and is in no AI training data." This score places Gemini 3 Pro in the top percentile of human intelligence, with some discussions also noting a score of 142 on the Mensa Norway test.

The IQ test results are part of a broader set of impressive benchmarks for Gemini 3 Pro, which Google officially unveiled as its most advanced AI model to date. The model has demonstrated a "massive jump in reasoning," outperforming competitors like GPT-5 Pro on benchmarks such as Humanity's Last Exam (HLE) with a score of 37.4% versus 31.64%. It also achieved a 1501 Elo score on the LMArena Leaderboard, positioning it as a leader in text-based reasoning.

Google's official announcements emphasize Gemini 3 Pro's enhanced multimodal understanding, allowing it to process and respond to various inputs including text, video, and code. The model also features a "Deep Think" mode, expected to roll out to Google AI Ultra subscribers, which further boosts its performance on complex problem-solving tasks, scoring 45.1% on ARC-AGI-2 with code execution. This comprehensive performance across diverse benchmarks underscores Google's commitment to advancing AI capabilities and its competitive standing in the rapidly evolving AI landscape.
