I try to avoid the temptation of IQ tests on the internet since they make me feel cocky for the rest of the day. Anyway:
www.iqtest.dk
I feel much more awake after going through it. The only question I had trouble with was the last one. I’m sure I have the right answer, but it feels like there’s more to the question that I’m missing. So here’s what I got out of it (spoiler): every shape is a shape-shifting entity moving one square to the right each turn.
If someone could fill me in on the rest, that’d be great. This has been killing me for about an hour.
Regarding that test, do ‘real’ IQ tests consist only of pattern recognition? I quite like the cryptographic and ‘if a is b and b is...’-type questions found in other online IQ tests, and do well on them. I scored a good 23 points below my average on the iqtest.dk , which made me feel sad.
This IQ test is trying to be fair to as many people possible. As long as a person understands the idea behind multiple-choice questions, no one should have a upper hand. There were no verbal questions, which is good because I’m crap at those.
I would think that a real IQ test wouldn’t be multiple choice at all. Maybe a 1 on 1 setting.… I wouldn’t worry about the 23 points. This test is not perfect. On some questions, it is easy to understand the pattern and still pick the wrong answer. Also, I think fatigue plays a huge role.
