A People Test Logic test can be used as a regular IQ test and will be eligible for Mensa (if your result corresponds to an IQ above 130 / or what corresponds to the top 2% of the Danish population.
The company testing you will then see your score broken down into Numerical, Logical and Verbal categories as well as an overall IQ score which follows the same scale as IQ is traditionally measured on. It is a scale where 100 is the mean, for the norm group, which is the whole population.
In addition, you will receive a score according to your response speed. You have 30 minutes to answer as many of the 80 questions as you can. But the test is not a speed test, so to get a good result you should aim to get through the test in the time available.
