Did anyone else find the IQ questions to be either boringly easy or impossibly hard? I don’t think I answered anything that required more than 15s of thought.
I found that leaving a question and coming back to it was much more helpful than trying to focus on it. There were several questions that I made no progress on for a few minutes, but I could immediately solve them upon returning to them.
Yes, apart from a couple of intermediate cases. In hindsight, the easy questions were where I already knew, or worked out, the construction technique for the question, the impossible ones were where I didn’t spot what was going on, and the intermediates were where I knew the technique but the application was complicated and took a while to deduce.
Took the survey.
