  • Beginner Just getting oriented to money basics.
  • Aware You know the vocabulary; running the math is the next step.
  • Sharp Solid grasp of budgeting, credit, and saving.
  • Strong Comfortable with investing concepts and tax mechanics.
  • Expert You could explain this stuff to a friend over coffee.

What this is

The Financial IQ quiz is a free, public diagnostic from Patet, our money-coaching app. The questions cover budgeting, credit, saving, investing, taxes, and the kind of everyday tradeoffs most people never get taught. Your answers are scored by Notch, the coach inside Patet, and you get a result link you can keep or share.

Why we built it

Most people leave high school without ever being graded on money, and "financial literacy" content online tends to either patronize or upsell. We wanted a five-minute, no-signup way to get a real read on where you are — and a clear path to the lessons that fix the gaps.

About the score

Your result is a snapshot, not a verdict. The same person can score differently depending on which 20 questions land in their set, and nobody walks in knowing every answer. The point is to spot the area where the next hour of learning pays off most.
