Re: IQ
"(Though interestingly, individuals in fields more spatially oriented, like engineering, on average outscore people on verbal tasks from more verbally oriented fields like English or History anyway, due to our good friend g and the higher than average IQs associated with engineers/physicists/chemists etc)"
I've always noticed this too, and now I am starting to see exactly what you mean by "g"

And in fact, those same two problems are admittedly the ones that seem to elude my usual paths of reasoning every time I take the test. Initially, I came up with a simple rationale for #37, but it apparently wasn't what the test was looking for. The same could be said for #40. However, I would most like to know the logic behind #51, which imo is the most difficult problem. It's like staring at some mystifying cipher. |

1010 would correspond to an IQ of 165, which is quite a high ceiling, though that's a huge jump for two additional correct answers and the test likely suffers from the ceiling effect at this point. My reasoning for 51 was analogous rather than sequential. The 3rd term is related to the first more so than the 2nd, so logically to complete the analogy 5 is the only answer that makes sense (but maybe I approached this incorrectly)

Re: IQ
Yeah, as far as I can tell, your reasoning for 51 is sound. It makes a lot more sense now. I'm still surprised they decided to throw in such a curveball after all the sequentially structured problems that preceded it.
P.S. - lol you got the hardest problem on the test but flubbed on easy junk gg P.P.S. - the rotating grids w/ shapes are pretty much ~time vortices~ |

Re: IQ
102 on Reach's Test he posted on the 1st/2nd page.
I skipped a couple of questions because I was a bit busy and didn't really have time to, and in other tests I'd gotten 130/126 etc.. |

Re: IQ
Haha, we must be the same then devonin. I actually did my first Sudoku puzzle a couple of weeks ago and got extremely addicted to them... and apparently I'm really good at them. But I have such a difficult time with Rubik's Cubes. God, I can't do them at all... but then again, I have never owned one so I haven't really taken the time to actually solve it, but the few times I have tried has frustrated me.

Re: IQ
The cube is MUCH easier to understand if you think of it as three layers instead of 6 sides. There are 8 corner pieces and 12 edge pieces and 6 centers. The centers always stay the same relative to each other (e.g. red always opposite orange, etc).
Once you think of the cube in terms of layers, edges, and corners, it's a lot simpler to understand and visualize. No speedcuber solves a cube "by sides." It's all about putting the right corners/edges into each layer.

Re: IQ
Yeah, and once your name is after an actual Rubix cube, THEN, you can only be one of the elite.

Re: IQ
Bringing it back to life!
My IQ was 138 in a non-timed online test, 134 is a timed one, and 134 again in a reputable one. Said reputable test: http://www.highiqsociety.org/iq_tests/ |

Re: IQ
For those that are interested:
http://www.cerebrals.com/tests/cpic/...%20CONTEST.pdf I breezed through the verbal items in a few minutes. I found them simple, though I am unsure of one of the answers. The number sequences are more difficult. I can't seem to solve a number of them...actually, some of them are highly difficult. I haven't spent much time trying to solve them yet though.

Re: IQ
I'm taking it right now but I skipped most of the first section because I was drawing blanks. I am usually good at finding patterns, though.
EDIT: Wow, I must be doing really bad. Every time I think one is hard, the one after it is really easy. EDIT2: Maybe not... In the word section they had gn____ and ch____ mixed in with some easy ones.

Same goes for the number sequences. Edit: Also, if you're interested in extremely difficult tests, you could try: http://webs.ono.com/asit/ Apparently Mensa Sweden is using this as a test for a summer competition as well. I won't be submitting answers for this one, though it can be fun if you're bored anyway. I managed to solve 18 of them in an hour or so.

I see what you mean about the number section. Here are the first five I couldn't solve in fiveish minutes each: 8. 12345, 423, -12, ( ?) 9. 12, 1314, 13271329, ( ?) 12. 77, 16.5, 1414, 33, 88888, ( ?), ( ?) 14. 311165, 21143, 1121, 0, 2112, 43112, ( ?), ( ?) 15. 12345, 12345, 21354, 52341, 12345, 54321, ( ?), ( ?) I think I could solve 9, 14 and 15 with more time. The vocab part is trivial; you fill out what you know and can't help the others. Writers, or people with experience in literature, have a big advantage. edit: Quote:

And yes, those are some of the hardest questions on the test, though, he probably shouldn't have posted the answers. If some people want to team up in an attempt to break this test, by all means, go ahead (Though, it probably won't work, as it will rely heavily on the most intelligent person in the group, as less intelligent people will have more trouble verifying answers), but keep the answers out of this thread please! But yeah, those 5 number sequences are very hard. I worked on this section for about an hour and answered 34 of them, 31 of them with confidence. There are about 10 or so that are incredibly difficult IMO.

Re: IQ
I agree with you, Reach.
Did you solve any of the sequences I posted? |

12 is baffling. I also can't get anywhere with 15 or 8. If you figure out any of these I would be interested in knowing via PM.
