IQ test

The website doesn't even work. FAIL OP.

Clicked randomly and got 94.

Clicked randomly and got 94.

I'm sure you randomly selected the correct answer out of 8 choices 50% of the time.

Interesting test, the last few were difficult. Got 122, now I am irritated my coworkers kept interrupting me during lunch!

I am an odd duck at special awareness. I drive my father and wife nuts because I can never figure out what it means to turn a nut "right" or "left". When looking down at a nut or bolt it always seems to me right can go either way depending on your starting point and orientation. I always feel stupid because to me, spatially, the only correct instruction is "when facing the nut turn clockwise/counterclockwise." At least most of these questions made sense. Except the ones I missed

lolwut.

Lack of understanding of science much?

Ironic. Dunning Kruger much?

What's with that background pattern? It reminds me of the fractal orgy.

what's with the let me google that for you link, instead of just linking me to what the fuck ever you're talking about?

 

[fralexandr]

133, the last questions took forever, so I ran out of time and had to guess on some of them. Not even sure I'd be able to get them right if i had more time.

If you want an example of a site that has a lazy algorithm in the hopes that people can actually complete the test, here is one:

I don't even know if I should be posting this site. After playing with the results a few times, I found the scoring model to be inconsistent and illogical. I don't know if that's intentional or not but the site is garbage.

I took this test a few years ago and got a 112 or 113. IIRC the difficulty curve ramped up heavily for me shortly after the halfway mark.

 

[Captante]

I got raging moron - hooray!!

I pronounce the test a success! :whiste:

Oh gawd its spatial awareness. And I got a 102. I did start not caring about midway through. I ended up taking a screenshot of some of the questions that made me laugh. I didn't really bother to systematically eliminate answers that didn't make sense or pay close attention to angles. Just pure guessing.

Unless its an actual testing environment I'm not trying. If the scoring is really statistics based there are going to be people obsessed with taking it over and over again to score higher. Congratulations you won... the...er.... prize!

Some of the questions were so illogical I just lol'd.

 

[MrColin]

I got 112 but I'm still not entirely sure if my answers were supposed to be aligned with the horizontal or vertical prompt/examples. I went horizontal, had ~15 min to spare.

 

[norseamd]

Well I am about to eat and I am not going to waste extra brain power and time on the very hard questions so I just was rushing through the 2nd half of the test and guessed some of the hard questions.

Got a score of 115.

 

[GlacierFreeze]

Went through it fairly quickly, skipped a few, and went back to them. Got a 115.

Well after obtaining a list of all the correct answers, I went back and looked at the questions that I struggled with and compared it with the answer sheet. Some questions, it would not have mattered how much time I spent on it, there was no way I ever would have gotten it (ignoring random chance). That to me is a signal that the test is quite good. Yes, making the test timed so that your score steadily improves as you remember the previous answers might be an issue but otherwise I think it's a good test. It's important to be honest with yourself.

Well I took real ones that mattered as a kid and I'm around 120. This type of test is good at detecting aspergers though. Its important to be honest with yourself.

And having answers published for the exam will skew the back end statistics. Something I already knew before answering the first question, with the way these tests are these days. Cause everyone knows wasting a ton of time on internet IQ tests is what the truly smart people do!

This is a culturally unbiased test. If you think being good at pattern recognition makes you an aspie, I feel sorry for you.

Posting on this message board or doing much of anything can be considered a waste of time, yet here we are.

Um you are barking up the wrong tree. I've never cared about online IQ tests. Look at you all uptight about it. Is it the only thing that you have in your life that makes you feel special? If I was actually embarrassed of the score I wouldn't have posted it.

So much for pattern recognition.

You sound way more butt hurt than I ever sounded.

 

[bolomite]

scored a 126 with around 13 minutes still remaining

If you take the test again, you probably could score significantly higher.

 

[shortylickens]

an IQ score represents your ability to score on an IQ test.

Thats it.

Only ignorant or desperate people go out of their way to assign value to it.
