| i did the ultimate IQ test but i didnt bother with the other one. Too hard for me. http://www.highiqsociety.org/noflash/nonmembers/iqtests.htm |

So where are your results?  You have an extremely greek name, by the way... welcome in this place.  |

| I had 137. Probaly would have got a little higher if i knew more math. Only made it to grade 9 here. And thanks. Didn't know that they had a forum for the four letter personality types. So i decided to join and see whats up. |

| I scored a 143. Yay for me. |

| I'm interested to know what process you two (or anyone) went through to solve the problems where you have to decide which 3D polyhedron cannot be made from the 2D cutouts. I felt like I was mostly guessing on those. I really couldn't come up with a good method for solving them. I'm really curious! Is it something that you "just saw"? |

I agree! Its too tedious and boring to try to sit there all day figuring it out. How accurate can an IQ test be anyway? Doesn't seem logical to gather someones intelligence from asking questions...seems like there should be a physical test to score someones smarts.  Why do IQ tests seem more like an education test to me? |

| Oh YAY! I found that site once and I hadn't been able to find it again O_O And now I have some free time -- 3D shapes vs. cut-outs? Well, I'll jot down what I do as I go. Green, white, and black arrows on pentagons: Go through answers one-by-one, mentally rotating and folding the cut-out to see if the arrows/circles/intersections in the 3D one are all possible. Start with a circle and check each panel around it. It requires repetitive shifting of reference points. Paper and pencil would help for some rotations, but I wanted to challenge myself by doing it mentally. Finally I notice an incongruity. Blue/white with single yellow on triangles: Again I go through each response one by one to see if there's a possible fold for it. I look for the most distinctive pattern (on the possible response) first to speed things up. Yellow/green/red multi-shaped spidery thing: Ah-ha, A is just E rotated, so if one's right the other is, too. Do easy ones first. Just D and F left... I think F's wrong because I can't find a right fold for it. Blue cube: Go through responses one by one, look for reference points and see what doesn't work. Think: what's pointing at what? What's facing / faced-away-from what? lol, that's enough concentration for this late at night =) ~Odyssey |

| Re: utopmk - Really? I don't find it boring. I think spinning and folding and visualizing colorful things in the mind's eye is fun, for example. And while the highly mathematical-logical ones stump me, they're not boring until I decide I'm completely stumped. Visual-logical, yay. For math-logic... ehh, my mind doesn't function well over a certain complexity level.
It takes a certain amount of 'book' learning to have made enough of the more formulaic conclusions of logic. I don't think our natural brain is that logical in unusual situations without training - we need education/learning of some sort to straighten out natural but possibly false jumps that our minds tend to make. I feel pretty confident that almost everyone by 10 years of age has jumped to a conclusion before, without real evidence or logic! For that reason, intelligence (ability to reason accurately in a variety of situations) is improved by education. ~Odyssey |

| *phew* 143, took me long enough. If I needed some 30 minutes to figure out a problem, I took it! I could blame it on taking the test past midnight but I don't feel the least bit tired. The one where you follow the letters in a gray grid and the yellow (lost) taste question just made me angry... For the polyhedrons, I kept in mind no matter how much the strands diverged, they'll still connect in an orderly fashion. I got hung up on trying to imagine how the very end of the strands would meet up in the back. You could call them tedious but the time went quickly for me. ****don't read if you don't want help on the test**** Anything involving mathematics was really easy. These tests become transparent if you see the questions enough (Fabbocinni (sp) pattern anyone?). The confusing "what day is it?" question was also basic once you break it down into numbers. I didn't see any algebra in any of the questions. Tell me if this reasoning is correct for the milk/water question: the porportions would be the same no matter how big the "teaspoon" is, therefore I can take all the milk and put it into the water, creating a 50/50 mix, putting half of that back would leave another 50/50 mix, making the two equal. ****end help**** |

Yeah what I meant is I burned up that part of my brain. Besides I don't need numbers, to tell me how smart I am, And that test couldn't be an accurate one for judging intelligence since most of it is math and patterns,aren't there other areas of intelligence? Anyway my score was 134...which proves its not accurate because I guessed on mostly all of it. |

| 125... it took a while though, and I didn't get some of the spatial assignments, and I didn't get the pattern in the candy store one. I would love the oorrect answers to all the questions but it didn't display them. anyways, it's 3.20am, I should really not be taking tests now.. |

Actually, IQ tests are supposed to be taken in your native language, because that is the code your mind thinks in. You are from Denmark, aren't you, LoveKid? I also took it for fun. I also got 125  There were questions though for which I could give more than one answers and justify them... huh. |

it's Lovechild... but yeah, I'm danish, but I've been fluent in english since I was 6, taught myself playing the Leisure Suit Larry series, so I doubt it would make a huge difference if I was to be tested in Danish.. |

Ooh - kie, me won't call you love "kid" ever again... I was just joking there though... |

| So... apparantly time is not an issue in this test. If you get stuck on a problem (read: polyhedron problem), just sit there and burn neural cycles until you solve it? On the polyhedron cutout problems, I guess I did the same thing you guys did. The shape is easy to visualize what will go together except where one side joins the opposite side. It's still possible to find what connects to what at the edges by counting connections down each side since the 3D picture tells you the geometry, but NO WAY can I fold that in my head and maintain the color information at the same time, much less rotate it in my head, and determine which patterns are possible or not possible! |

| This isn't a true intelligence test, it's an education test. MENSA has a true intelligence test. |

Nah, it's no biggie you are forgiven beautiful one.. |

| The culture IQ test sticks with visual/spatial type questions. |
