SUMMARY

The forum discussion centers on an IQ test focused on spatial intelligence, specifically involving rotations and variations of images. Participants shared their results, with most achieving a perfect score of 100% by correctly answering all five questions. Strategies for success included visualizing the images from different angles and recognizing patterns, such as focusing on corners for easier identification of transformations. The conversation also touched on the challenges posed by complex images and the potential for grade inflation in scoring.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of spatial reasoning concepts
  • Familiarity with visual transformations such as rotations and reflections
  • Basic knowledge of IQ testing methodologies
  • Experience with pattern recognition techniques
NEXT STEPS
  • Explore advanced spatial reasoning exercises and tests
  • Research techniques for improving visual perception and mental rotation skills
  • Study the impact of cognitive biases on test performance
  • Investigate the relationship between dyslexia and spatial intelligence
USEFUL FOR

Individuals interested in enhancing their cognitive abilities, educators seeking to develop spatial reasoning skills in students, and psychologists studying the effects of visual transformations on intelligence assessments.

You answered correctly 5 out of 5 questions. This is equivalent to 100 %.

Your grade is
A+

The last one was the hardest, I almost picked the wrong one :P

It's easy to do this if you just tilt your head sideways when necessary :)

That was kinda cool

EDIT: On the last one, I just tlited my head to the right, and imagined it to flip vertically (from that point of view)...

Yes, the last one required a bit of care.

Yeah the last one was a bit tricky.
 
5 of 5.

I was coincidentally just thinking, "Why haven't they used a diagonal reflection?" after #4, so of course I tried to work #5 out as a reflection followed by a rotation (same thing, obviously, but a diagonal reflection would've been simpler).
 
There's a simple trick: pick an element in a corner, and see if it's move to the appropriate corner. 5/5
 
5 on 5. 100% schwamabedoo. (The last word was posted because of the post length limitation problem, in which I could simply have stated that I needed to write more stuff, making this small part useless even as I type it. :P)

I think there's some grade inflation going on if Evo's 80% is still an A. :biggrin: :smile: The first four were pretty easy. The last one needed some thinking...I could see which way the original was flipped pretty quickly, but then trying to match the second one to that was challenging because of how "busy" the image was.

I'm curious which one I missed, I did the last one quickest of all, perhaps that's the culprit.

There is one image on the last one that is ALMOST it, you have to flip it horizontally and then move the side on the bottom onto the right hand side (in other words, flip it horizontally and then rotate to the left once). There is one image (the 2nd one) that looks almost like it, but it's actually the 4th one.

Gosh, I just flipped it diagonally. :biggrin: (Same end result, less steps to get there. :wink:)

I just looked at it again and I admit, that would have been easier :-p

Well, that was a dyslexics's nightmare. I got none right!

Just a quick question...are you good at Scrabble? My wife is dyslexic and her spelling stinks, but she's pretty good at Scrabble. I think she sees more possible word combinations because her brain is flipping recognition of the tiles back and forth from normal order to reversed order.

5/5 as well, piece of cake. Though my eyes hurt a little.

4/5...i just did it arbitrarily...i was supposed to get all wrong though..

i think i did the same as you, looked at how things flipped, and what it would look like etc, 5/5

EASY : just focus on one corner and see how it has been rotated.

Normally, in such tests multiple variations are put in. So, not only rotations of objects but also colour changes or magnitude changes of the depicted figures in the squares
