Found an interesting ''iq'' test online

[Neo_Anderson]

Raven's progressive matrices is a non-verbal IQ test that's given to inner-city kids on the basis that established tests take high-culture into account, and are thus biased against the inner-city people.
You can find on-line raven's matrices for free; some of them are a real challenge!

I don't see how abstract patterns are city-biased.

I got a 23...but I've seen some of the problems before. But to compensate, i just skipped all the word problems cus I dun like em. :P

 

[Sorry!]

Is anyone on these forums actually part of Mensa? I'm interested in what they do as a member...

Hahaha don't you love when you do the work wrong yet still get the right answer? Too bad this didn't work in high school :sadface: (The work was worth the most amount of marks lol)

Yup, love it. I didn't do the work entirely wrong, though: I found a pattern that was restrictive enough to exclude all but one choice, but not as restrictive as "perfect squares".

Your score was 28 out of 30

I forgot to count the double 7 in 77
And I didn't get BANALITIES (what a positively banal word)

I guess it was a fun little test, but I thought the questions were too simple to really test intelligence. It's the harder, problem solving questions that I find challenging (and troublesome).

was it the pattern of 9s? I am no sure if ir remember this correctly but that is what i did(think). i think most of them added to 9 or something,
idont understand how the 7s one is not 11.

07,17,27,37,47,57,67,70,77,87,97,100

i get 11.

OH WAIT I FORGOT 71,72,73,74,75,76,78,79...ugh

also that distance problem i don't get how right triangles matters. they walk 4 m in opposite directions then walk 3 meters to the left. i thought itd be 4 meters difference since the left is equal distance in the same direction, but that wasnt even a choice to choose.

I forgot to count the double 7 in 77

I went through and got all the 7's in the second digit, except for 77. I thought "hahah, you're not tricking me with that one." So I got both. Except I forgot the 7's in 70, 71, 71, etc. I felt like an idiot.
