PIQA measures general reasoning and comprehension. In detail, it checks:

  • drawing the right conclusion from a passage or scenario
  • commonsense judgement about everyday situations and words
  • counting, comparing and reasoning over several facts at once
  • avoiding shortcuts that memorise answers instead of reasoning

How to read the score

The score is accuracy: the percentage of tasks answered or solved correctly. 100% means every task was solved perfectly; higher is better.
