Timothy E. Parker

Founder & Chief Architect of Cognitive Systems

Timothy E. Parker holds the Guinness World Record as the world's most syndicated puzzle compiler, with cognitive assessments reaching more than 180 million solvers across six continents.

His three-decade body of work includes collaborations with Disney, Microsoft, the Smithsonian Institution, and over 1,400 major media outlets.

"Think Deeper. Learn Smarter. Excel Further."

As the sole writer of all 225 television episodes of Merv Griffin's Crosswords and author of more than 100 books, Parker brings unparalleled depth to cognitive assessment design. His work spans cognitive assessment design, applied intelligence research, biological aging measurement, and educational assessment.

Parker founded Advanced Learning Academy in 1996 with a mission to advance intelligence, longevity, and human potential through evidence-based cognitive science. The organization has since developed Real World IQ (cognitive assessment), Real Bio Age (biological age measurement), and RELIQ (relationship intelligence).

His content has appeared on ABC, CBS, and NBC television networks, and in publications from USA Today to Reader's Digest. The Academy's research initiatives span cognitive assessment design, applied intelligence, biological aging, longevity science, educational measurement, and public health analytics.
