very frustrated with iq test...

culture fair test

I just cant stand not knowing the answers to some of these questions.
I have no idea about questions 6 9 13 15 16.
And the logic i found for 2 5 14 seems to simplistic to be correct even tough the answer i got was right.
So if anyone has a lot of time for this and is willing to explain these it would help me a lot.

Is there actualy an intelligent way to solve these?
Most of these questions is just code breaking, testing all possibilities(actualy i was to lazy to do this, mostly because theres no certainty i will ever get it anyways), i dont know if theres a more logical way to solve them.

Neet site, some of the questions for the exceptional iq test are damn hard and time consuming. I actually recognize some of them from the puzzle cards Mensa gives out, which is peculiar since they seem to be different organizations.

 

[malcolm]

Are you sure they are the same from mensa? I think they might be of the same type because they probably use the same standard type questions on all these tests.

I also looked at the questions and i think this test is a better measure for real intelligence than the culture fair test.
But like you said its very time consuming, youre even allowed to write computer programs for it it seems, just read the intro of the test.

The culture fair test questions are realy just stupid, i just found the answer to 9 and i realy dont see what this has to do with intelligence, like i said before it is just checking all possible ways they might relate.

Im also wondering if the scores on these tests are real?
Other standard iq tests on mainstream sites score way to high but i think these are more accurate.

Maybe some very talented people can just see the pattern (human brain is very good at finding patterns, even if there's no pattern at all). However, just calling this "IQ" is a bit misleading... some idiot savants may do it much better than most people.

And I am just like you... too lazy to try any non-obvious answers

I did till question 6 and then power went off... , anyway for Q6 I think I selected option 2...

 

[rabidrabbit]

Got 126.
I'm significantly above average, and bordering on "gifted" (still, a long way from "Universal Genius" )
Those multifaceted 3D tests I skipped by giving a random answer, was too tired to try. A couple of others too.

I also dont consider it intelligence but on the other hand what is intelligence?
What is it intelligent people could have that high iq people dont have?

I know 2 is correct but i dont know why so if you could explain it?
If you realy knew this one for the right reasons maybe you should solve the rest of the test, you might get 150.

those last 2 questions are definately just a matter of time, i would think everyone can solve those so add 6points .
I actualy think its weird they dont put a time limit, eventualy i think you would find the answer to all questions.

Are you sure 6 is the 2nd selection?

I'm pretty sure it should be the 5th.

Comparing the right column and left column of patterns, it always follows the same rule:
the center square is the same
swap the whole thing left to right
swap the whole thing top to bottom

edit: I scored 135
double edit: it can't be too accurate, because I went though trying to find 'the right' answer to a question and answered all of them in ways I knew were wrong and I still scored 106.

I also selected the fifth option, but it is wrong.
The reason i know its the second is because i tried all of them with all the other questions remaining static and looked when my score got higher.
But even knowing its the second i still cant see the pattern.
I even tried binary relations and things like that but there are just to many possibilities and i realy dont feel like trying anymore

The ceiling of the test is 153 with each question scoring 3 points.
I figured out 16 questions so i should be 141 but i realy took much more time than average i think.

For #6, go across in rows. The right-hand block in each row is the mirror opposite of the left-hand block in each row. I chose option 5 in this one.

#9 - Gave up on time constraints, but I'd like to study it more. I came up with option #3...

#13 - Option #2 for sure. Break the shape down into 6 smaller shapes made of 3 triangles each. From the first picture to the second, the smaller shape of 3 triangles moves once clockwise, and also rotates counter-clockwise as it moves. From the second to the third, the smaller shape moves two positions around the larger figure, turning counter-clockwise for each move. It increments 1 move each time until the last one, where it's moving six spaces, and ends up in the exact same position as the last picture.

#15 - Gave up in the interest of time.

I believe #9 is option 5. Rotate the square once clockwise, and shift down by 2 (with the bottom rolling over to the top)

15 I have no idea.

Thanks, im glad to finaly know 13.

It is very confusing to me that they where shadowed, how can you know if this is just graphical or has something to do with the logic, i actualy remembered some folded paper structure that looks a bit like this from school, i was starting to think it might be a complex fold where the colors relate someway when its unfolded.
i guess the 3d effect is there for a reason afterall, to show they are individual pieces.
There are many questions where there are graphics and structures that are completely irrelevant to it.

Very annoyed with you for starting this topic, Malcolm, because I just spent two hours on this damn thing trying to figure everything out and despite there isn't supposed to be a time restraint on it it timed out on me two times and brought me back to the intro screen. Instead, I could have gone out and done some walking or sth.

No, I didn't finish the fucking thing so I don't know my score, but on the Swedish Army IQ test I scored in the top 13% of the population, you people may interpret that as you will.

Anyway, this test doesn't look to me like it measures intelligence at all, like most any graphic IQ test it's pretty much just abstract thinking and pattern recognition.

Oh...the Swedish Army IQ test.... .....
Sorry but that just reminded me of something; is it true they let you wear hair nets if you have a long hair in Swedish Army?
I never saw my results from the Finnish Army IQ test, as a matter of fact I don't know if one can see the results at all :?

 

[malcolm]

I am sorry guden oden

 

[Guden Oden]

Hehe, it was a joke, lol. But it was an interesting exercise, though it turned out to be an exercise in futility unfortunately. Don't understand why it brought me back to the first screen like that when I clicked "next"; did anyone else experience that?

And Rabid, yeah, they made people with long hair wear nets, yes, at least when I was in the military... I didn't have long hair back then so I didn't wear one.

 

[malcolm]

Ive seen it a few times but it doesnt take long to just answer the questions again

 

[g__day]

Personally I found them all very doable until the exceptional Intelligence tests. Basically there are only a few possible solutions for each puzzle and you just have to work the associations thru. Only the match the unfolded shape tests were a tad intricate.

The exceptional test look more tasty - I will put them on my to do list.
