    Iq Speed Test
AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around an online IQ test featuring 30 questions to be completed in 15 minutes. Participants share their scores, with results ranging from 115 to 162, and express mixed feelings about the test's accuracy and fairness, particularly regarding English word puzzles that may disadvantage non-native speakers. Some users question the validity of their scores, especially when they achieve high results despite concerns about the test's design. There is also a debate about the counting of triangles in a specific question, with varying answers leading to confusion about scoring. Overall, while the test is deemed fun, its reliability and fairness are called into question.

Yay! another IQ test!

30 questions in 15min, the test ends by itself. Not the most accurate, but fun nonetheless. Result given right after you are done, and a very lame "multiple" intelligence analysis too - all free.

My score: 115. You?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
They asked me to send them my e-mail address. I got that question right.
 
You don't need to enter a valid email, your score comes up on the page when you are done.

I got 121, and I call shenanigans on tests that use English word-puzzles. How fair is that to people like me who speak English as a second language :p

I would also like to dispute the fact that there are more than 13 triangles in this picture:

I can't for the life of me find any more.

i found 15, i think you probably missed out the top left most 3 and top right most 3
 
I got 124, [s
and counted 16 triangles.
I also agree that the word puzzles are silly (partly perhaps because I failed to get the first one).

Your age adjusted IQ score is 162...now I wonder if they added or removed points for age?
 
General statistics

Total number of questions: 30
Questions answered: 30
Questions not answered: 0
Questions answered correctly: 30
Questions answered incorrectly: 0
Percentage correct answers: 100 %

That certainly wasn't one of the best online ones I've taken. It might even have been posted in an older thread.

They probably added since I got 141 and all the questions correct.

I'm counting 16. but I just woke up and haven't had my coffee yet.

I didn't take the test, but I took a look at the triangle. I count
1 outside boundary.
3 triangles each made of one side of the boundary and the center point.
6 triangles each made of a half of one side of the boundary and the center point.
6 triangles each made of a side of the boundary and a half of another side of the boundary.
For a total of 16 triangles.

Oops, I must have counted a pair of triangles twice. There are indeed 16 triangles.
