【About SpatiaQ】 SpatiaQ is a science-driven spatial intelligence training app powered by 50 years of cognitive psychology research. We decompose spatial reasoning into five independent dimensions, transforming complex cognitive training into engaging, interactive experiences. Master spatial thinking. Know your SQ. 【Five-Dimension Spatial Training System】 Mental Rotation - Master 3D shape equivalence recognition through rapid rotation - Science: Shepard & Metzler (1971) landmark research - Real-world: Engineering, architecture, CAD design - Key Metric: Rotation recognition speed (°/ms) Paper Folding - Predict how 2D nets fold into 3D cubes - Science: Shepard & Feng (1972) classic study - Real-world: Package design, architectural visualization - Key Metric: ETS standardized scoring Perspective Taking - Rapidly switch viewpoints to understand spatial relationships - Science: Huttenlocher & Presson (1979) cognitive framework - Real-world: Map reading, navigation, game control - Key Metric: Error rate & reaction time Block Assembly - Reconstruct 3D structures with minimum steps - Science: Miyake et al. (2001) cognitive model - Real-world: Spatial decomposition, problem-solving - Key Metric: Operation efficiency ratio Navigation - Find optimal paths through mazes; strengthen directional sense - Science: Tolman (1948) cognitive map theory - Real-world: Route planning, environmental adaptation - Key Metric: Path efficiency & step optimization 【Your Spatial Quotient (SQ) Score】 - Precision-calculated from five dimensions - IQ-scale scoring (M=100, SD=15) - Personalized: compared against your own baseline, not others - Instant: baseline SQ on your first training - Tracked: daily snapshots reveal your progress curve 【Why SpatiaQ Stands Out】 - Science-backed: Every training mode is rooted in published psychology - Adaptive: Intelligent difficulty scaling based on your performance - Anchor-equated: Special items prevent difficulty drift from affecting scores - Privacy-first: 100% local data storage—nothing uploaded - Beautiful: Stellar Dark theme with smooth 3D rendering - Multilingual: English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese 【Perfect For】 • Anyone curious about their spatial thinking strengths • Students: boost geometry skills and exam performance • Professionals: architects, engineers, designers upskilling • Puzzle enthusiasts: scientifically-backed cognitive training • Gamers: sharpen in-game spatial awareness 【Why Choose SpatiaQ】 Unlike casual puzzle apps, SpatiaQ delivers: 1. **Real Science**: Rooted in 50+ years of psychology research 2. **Global Benchmark**: Compare your SQ with worldwide norms 3. **Privacy Armor**: Offline-first design; zero cloud uploads 4. **Smart Difficulty**: Anchor-item equating ensures fair scoring 5. **Progress Tracking**: Watch your cognitive abilities improve over weeks 【Completely Free】 All five training modes unlock immediately—no paywalls, no ads.

Practise spatial skills for 11+ non-verbal reasoning and CAT4-style spatial tasks. Preparing for grammar school or independent school assessments? Foldmetry offers short, focused practice in visualising shapes, understanding folds, and reasoning in 3D. Use it alongside your wider preparation: it is not a complete 11+ or CAT4 course and does not reproduce official tests. Foldmetry turns six spatial-reasoning skills into clear, interactive exercises: • Mental Rotation: recognize a solid after it turns in 3D • Cube Nets: predict how a flat net folds into a cube • Perspective Taking: visualize structures from another viewpoint • Paper Folding: reverse folds and predict position patterns • Block Assembly: count volume, missing cubes, and exposed faces • Cross Sections: find exact slices through 3D structures START FREE Start all six paths, complete the first two lessons in each path, try a daily mixed session, and review up to three missed questions at a time. Best scores, stars, streaks, and recent progress stay on your device. TIMED EXAM-STYLE PRACTICE With Pro, try 12 mixed questions across all six skills, with 40 seconds per question. Review accuracy and response time by skill to plan your next session. This is Foldmetry's own practice format, not an official exam simulation. PRACTICE YOUR WAY WITH FOLDMETRY PRO Unlock all 36 guided lessons, full ten-question Mistake Review, unlimited practice at difficulty levels 1–10, selectable session lengths, and complete training history. Choose an annual subscription with a 7-day free trial for eligible customers, or unlock Pro with a one-time lifetime purchase. Pricing and eligibility appear in the App Store purchase sheet. Restore purchases at any time from Settings. PRIVATE BY DESIGN No account. No ads. No behavioral tracking across apps or websites. Your training history, mistake queue, and preferences remain on your device. Foldmetry uses privacy-friendly anonymous analytics (TelemetryDeck) to understand which features help; you can turn this off in Settings. Exercises and licensed paper-folding animations work offline; a network connection is used for App Store purchases and optional analytics. Foldmetry is an independent educational practice tool. It does not measure IQ, provide medical advice, guarantee academic or exam results, or claim affiliation with any examination authority. CAT4 is a GL Assessment test; Foldmetry is not affiliated with or endorsed by GL Assessment.
