I.Q. Test - Certified and 15 minutes

[nicolas.1970]

124 the first time (at office so not concentrated)
and 151 the second, which seems to be a little bit high :)

Explanation:

The first one takes the first two in a row and performs a logical exclusive OR. So where blacks overlap, black is subtracted, where black exists in only one of the two elements, it is kept.

So D

The second one is set completion. Note that all squares have one empty dot on the outside, empty dot on the inside, and solid dot on the inside. The same for the circles. Naturally the same would be required for the triangles. A triangle with dot inside is the only one missing.

So B

Armed with these insights (and two more right answers, of course) I retook the test and my score rose from 106 to 118. I was paying attention to things that didn't matter, like the positions of the little circles in the second one I posted. It seemed their placement had to be part of the pattern they were asking you to perceive but now I see some things can be ignored.

Still, there were many that were out of my grasp. How about this one:

 

[Kurdt]

Probably E. The bottom left and then top right always rotate counter clockwise 90 degrees.

 

[Chi Meson]

Probably E. The bottom left and then top right always rotate counter clockwise 90 degrees.

I agree, except for the "probably" part.

 

[Kurdt]

I agree, except for the "probably" part.

I always like to cover the bases. Especially this late at night

 

[zoobyshoe]

The bottom left and then top right always rotate counter clockwise 90 degrees.

What?

 

[zoobyshoe]

Nevermind: I get it. The bottom left line rotates 90 about its mid point, then the top right line does the same.

the harder way is to erase the bottom-right line of column 1 elements, and the top-left lines of column 3 elements [as pointed in the figure below], then combine [halfway] both columns 1&3 to get the elements of column 2, so the third element of column 3 would be E

[which is more sense for the sake of column 2 existence]

the easy way is as previously described, but for more details, consider column 2 as a mirror, so flip the left side elements then rotate clockwise by 90 degrees, you then get column 3 elements

 

[zoobyshoe]

Your way is good, drizzle.

Kurdt was reading from top to bottom. The same works going across in each row if you first rotate the lower right line segment 90 degrees about its midpoint (clockwise or counter; it doesn't matter), to arrive at the middle figure, then rotate the top left line segment about its midpoint to arrive at the third figure. That's Kurdt's method, except going right to left instead of top to bottom.

that’s more sense and simple, I think that I tend to complex the answer more than clarifying it, I wonder what use I can get of that way of thinking?

That fully qualifies you to engineer cars.

quite hard for a lady to handle, despite the knowledge of such a field

Real IQ tests are mostly a joke. Fake IQ tests are entirely a joke.

To the contrary: I think I.Q. test scores are an excellent indicator of how well you do on I.Q. tests.

Do it and post results here.

I went back and took the two here. On the easy one I got 131. On the "hardest" one I got 122.

"...each question is assigned a weighted value and time limit. A complex scoring algorithm takes into account the difficulty level and time remaining for each question when calculating your score. This scoring method is commonplace on professional IQ tests but unique on the Internet."

I wonder if the "complex scoring algorithm" is applied to the ones you got wrong. What's worse: a fast wrong answer or a slow wrong answer?

 

[drizzle]

...What's worse: a fast wrong answer or a slow wrong answer?

why bothering yourself, in the end they're both wrong

 

[zoobyshoe]

I think the "complex scoring algorithm" might explain how people can score as high as 90 with random choices: you're getting a lot more credit for fast right answers because the mechanism doesn't know they're accidental, but every wrong answer is simply wrong no matter how fast or slow.

I'm thinking if a fast right answer is better than a slow right answer, then a fast wrong answer should be worse than a slow wrong answer.

 

[drizzle]

...I'm thinking if a fast right answer is better than a slow right answer, then a fast wrong answer should be worse than a slow wrong answer.

now the first part I do agree with you but the 2nd nop and as a conclusion [of my complex thinking] I think you should do select randomly [fast] the answers to questions you have no clue of, by that you would pick AFAP all random answers whether they're the fast right answer or the fast wrong one

 

[tribdog]

I'm really good at getting the wrong answer faster than most other people.

at least, you won’t regret the time lost trying to figure out the right one, not to mention trying to convince yourself of a solution that is actually wrong, may led you to choose that same answer again [if you face the same question] cause it’s unconsciously stored in your mind..I suppose

 

[Chaos' lil bro Order]

No, fulfill your dream of becoming an internet moderator.

hahahahhahahaha funny as heck.

Probably inaccurate like all the other tests on the Internet, though.
And these things mean squat ~.~
