I will check all of them :)
I think puzzle 32 is letter A. Moving in rows the line move 90 degree counter clockwise.
Yeah he is making a claim based on a similarity of two pictures, where as the jump from 45 degrees to 90 degrees in the rotation of the lines and the theme of the smaller symbols jumping 1 spot to two spots is present in all the images. I think he got that one wrong.
32 is stupid. yes if you go diagonally you see that pattern, but if you go from left to right, you can see it as the shapes rotating leftward each motion, which would then imply that answer a is instead correct.
I think it was supposed to be observed diagonally.
Exactly. I picked number A.
yeah, but these figures (circle, square and triangle) correspond independently, so they only work togheter in gtoup of 3 shapes, so it makes sense for D to be the correct answer because of its complexity.
32 a) should be correct. Lines are rotating anti-clockwise
I see what you mean but if you look at diagonals they don't only have the same rotation in each box but also number of lines and the same symbol.
31 is a not c. The pattern is that the corner shape stays in the same corner and the lines are either vertical, horizontal or at a 45 degree angle.
#32 is letter A. You can't assume middle left circle rotated clockwise, it could've been a counterclockwise rotation. If you go on each row, they rotate counterclockwise every time, answer A is correct here.
The only evidence for clockwise rotation is the squares, you can't verify this law by either circle or triangle.
It's fun to practice on casual iq tests, but I think that taking a professional IQ test is some what a bad idea, and your IQ is one of those things that are better if left unknown
yeah never take iq test unless checking for mental illness. it gives false implication you're not useful at anything, more because there's always above percentiles better than you
I don't like design of puzzle 23, it seems ambiguous. You can look between first two pictures in two ways: 1st is that just inner picture element is removed, 2nd way is that just black picture element is removed. Applying the first reasoning you get answer D), applying the second you get answer A).
I did the exact same thing when I first went through the test. I thought that the black area was removed and I picked answer A... But I found out that answer D was correct when I went through the answers for a second time.
Agreed.
Idk about question 7 or Q11. I don’t think multiple answers with different interpretations should be possible for a accurate iq test.
3 seems accurate to me too. Furthermore it is the values of cos that will result in 1,0,-1,0 and then 1. You didn’t choose 1 when you did it yourself did you? There are 4 different ways I’ve seen people answer question 7 and every single one of them seems accurate and logical to me. I’d disregard that question.
Another approach I saw was that digits in odd number positions, I.e digit 1,3,5 will always be 0 and multiplied by -1. As 0(-1) is just 0, 0 will always occur and 1 will alternate between 1 and -1 each time.
I think I chose 1 when i first did it. I agree that Q11 was kinda badly designed...
There are a few of these where you can apply different logic to arrive at multiple different answers, and one method of logic isn't necessarily superior to the other (7, 11, 17, and 32 all being examples). I'd say if you were able to apply sound logic to arrive at an answer you basically got it right even if it says you're wrong. That being said maybe there is superior logic for all the "correct answers" but we're just not seeing it.
In general, I would say the simplest logic (simplest model) is the best logic. More complex model tries to fill the illogical gaps and thereby makes it more complex.
Simpler logic = lower probability of being correct by random chance = highest probability of being intended logic.
Why "a" isn't correct in Q.32, lines are rotating left side
?!?
I personally did #8 differently, but thought about right solution too.
When you count numbers, next to 3 there are numbers 2 and 4. If we multiply them 2×4=8. Then 7×9=63. 62×64=3968.
So, the answer is 2, because 1×3=3 .
Would be interesting to hear the proper explanation to why 'B' is correct answer to #17.
Your explanation makes sense, but only when you know the answer. Otherwise you could make up a similar explanation but to another answer.
I hate nr 17. :D
For no. 11, couldn't it also be said that there are prime numbers coming out of the centre though as well, so therefore it could also be C? I see how the answer is 8 and it makes sense, it just doesn't seem like it is the only answer as more than one pattern seems to be present. Thoughts?
I agree, but puzzle number 3 already features the fibonacci sequence so if I had to gamble between it being prime numbers or it being the fibonacci sequence then I would gamble on the fibonacci sequence.
I think there are other puzzles in this test which are also ambiguous, so it's just bad puzzle design in my opinion. They could fix this specific puzzle by making the sequence longer.
And one more thing, you could count the no. of line segments in each picture , so the series would be 1, 3, 5, -7-. So the answer should have 7 line segments.
The problem is the argument though is that first we consider first pic to be one line segment instead of two cause of centre and in following pics we count on the basis of centre
And that's why my answer was incorrect probably
Number 11 is wrong. D is the widely shared answer, but it is wrong. C is the correct answer because in each step 2 lines are added. So 1 line in the first picture, 3 in the second one, 5 in the third one and there must be 7 in the fourth one. So, it must be C....
A is also correct in Question 32, why doesn't it say that?
because its not
@@toby9031 ahh caveman anwser ofc
@@tsven3932 confused unga bunga
@@tsven3932 As you can see in the first line, the objects rotate counterclockwise another 90°. It starts with the blue, then red and finally green. If one would take now in the last line for blue answer A, which is the beginning for the row, this must turn around 180° and not as before around 90°. With answer D we would have solved the problem, since with the red box this turned by 90°.
@@toby9031 A still seems logical and i get why D is logical too, but having 2 patterns just makes it confusing.
In question 31 instead of focusing on the shapes in the corner why not the lines going through the middle figure? I don´t see how answer a) is not a valid answer
Okay, I looked at the puzzle while focusing ONLY on the lines. In the first row notice how the lines are rotated by 45 degrees in clockwise direction when going from picture 1 to picture 2, and then 90 degrees in clockwise direction when going from picture 1 to picture 2.
In the second row we have the same 45 degree rotation going from picture 1 to picture 2.
In the third row we have the same 90 degree rotation going from picture 2 to picture 3.
Therefore it would fit the pattern when looking at the second row and going from picture 2 to the answer the lines should be rotated 90 degrees in clockwise direction which would lead to the lines pointing from top left to the bottom right as in answer B and C.
I'm not sure how you ended up with answer A. Can you explain your thought process/confirm that the way I looked at the lines made more sense?
Please help! I copied the link for the test but it could not open. Then I went to their official site and opened the online home test button but still, it could not open. Is there anything I could do about it?
Why did you not invert the lines in question 25 after roataing the "middle line" for 135°?
Because they are inverted through "the vertical axis". If a line is on the bottom and it is mirrored through the vertical axis: it remains on the bottom. The two answers had the options of having the small lines on top or on bottom, and after the rotation we knew that the small lines were on the bottom -> the answer with the lines on the bottom is correct -> answer B is correct.
(Btw you could totally argue that: We cant know if there is an mirroring through "the horizontal axis" in the first picture; because the top and the bottom lines are mirror images of each other -> we cant conclude if answer B or D is correct.) Still answer B is provided by the simplest explanation.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Thank you for your respond. I stil dont see how this works but i come to my own solution. We rotate the figure by 45° clockwise and than rotate all the small lines by 180°. This should work too.
@@kait9401 I checked your method and its only equal to the method I used IF the two small lines on the edge of the big line are identical. In both the cases of the puzzle, it was identical so therefore they were equal.
BTW when I say "invert" i mean mirror and I don't know how familiar you are with it. Found a picture that shows a mirroring across a vertical axis: www.google.com/search?q=mirroring+around+vertical+axis&sxsrf=ALeKk02m9gJYN80BTKya-F0cvuCHSSMfsA:1598726436248&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjm7syKiMHrAhWhk4sKHSgwAJ8Q_AUoAXoECA4QAw&biw=1920&bih=969#imgrc=xbjJ5tGvbIKwcM
Now a question: what is you real iq? Or the average results you get when you take de test for the first time
Hey, normally on my first attempt i get in the ballpark of 135 ish to max score. I have gotten the max score of "145+ IQ" on some IQ tests while around 137 on some. I havent taken a professional test or anything but I want to :)
I feel like this part of iq tests are about how you are used to classifying and making careful judgments, which can be improved, especially q 32. you're grouping same lines and shapes (naming things, forms) together, then finding pattern to it, rather than by horizontal line alone; meaning the more you like analyzing and classification, the better iq score you can get.
side note: this analyzation and classification is energized by awareness (especially having their own voice), and separating your emotion and logic. I feel like people who have high iq all have strong value and fearless in thinking.
Although the ranges can vary by your biology, I feels like everyone's potential iq range is very big.
meaning, people who do bad on iq tests can still be good in non analytical tasks.
if we teach kids classifying and analyzing skills, then they'd have higher iq. For example, listing many similarities and differences of three animals with intricate words.
maybe we can start teaching this method ground up to people with learning disabilities (low iq), and improve their functioning.
and, although I dislike the definition of intelligence held by iq, it does improve lifestyle in this capitalist society.
what I mean is, iq can be improved by teaching analyzing skills
This is an old video but I think the solution to 33 is right but not strong logic, I would’ve just showed that there are a black and white dot on the bottom then in the next image it goes to the top and this pattern repeats, using this we can assume it’s either c or d, then we use the fact that the opposite sides of the triangle have the same image and since the triangle and white dot are taken the black dot should be next so c
I did this for fun after watching a video from another youtuber covering this, and I got all questions correct. What does that mean? Does it correlate to any IQ score or nah, is it just an entry test for the actual Mensa test?
I think that #11 has 2 solutions and 2 answers. Anyway, i got 31/33!🎉 (If, as everyone keeps saying answer for 32 is C)
I'm 12 years old and took this IQ test (officially) and recieved a maximum score of 174 IQ. However, I feel that this test is way easier and my IQ is < 174. Yes, I have received maximum scores on many adult IQ test but this was the easiest by far. What my point is that this score is highly inaccurate.
I agree with your assessment of the first serious. Requires prior knowledge. Doesn't prove intelligence. Frankly as soon as I saw it I thought it was very strange
Is it good test
i don't understand the 33, why the answer is C?
I got 24/33 correct however I have noticed one thing sometimes the answer is right before me and due to the fact that I tend to unnecessarily over complicate certain questions I mark the incorrect answer any tips on how I could rectify this?
The answer for number 3 could also be 7.
1+1=2, 1+2=3, 2+3=5 so 3+4=7
I got 26 out of 33 so am I just average?????
Thats 80% correct, think an average person would score way lower.

@@t64madness Why is it A?
When you typed ''33 is actually answer a puzzles & solutions...' I didn't thought about ''a'' as in ''A'' the answer, since you did not place any punctuation between them. That is what I was struggling to understand :p
Mensa is not able to make tests with only 1 correct answer. But because they are the smartest people on earth, they argue that the most simple answer is the correct one. And who decides what is the most simple solution? If you have an argumentation your solution is more simple then you are wrong. Why? Because Mensa is smarter and always right.
Who wantst to be a member of an organisation who tells you what solution is the best?
31 Is not correct your rule. Plus the Lines moves in the same pattern.
May I know what's the IQ range for someone who scored 26/33?
80%
Since I know Mensa's IQ Challenge on their dedicated international website measures 100% as "145 IQ or higher", I assume here it would be an IQ of 116, which is 0.8 (80%) x 145 (100%).
hey bud, for the puzzel #11 we can use the logic as 1, 3 , 5 , 7 odd numbers or simply adding 2 . so the answer could be even c right ? how can u justify d is better than c
The first one doesn’t count as one it counts as two lines coming out of center....if it was number of lines the mid line in 2nd picture wouldn’t be half..
I selected c as well and got it right so not sure why he's saying d is the correct answer.
the solution of the thumb-nail task is as for me solution < b > due to this explanation: the lines within each mapping in the first line do turn clockwise with a degree-shift of 45 and then 90, as you got two squares up and one down... ...looking at the third line the lines within each mapping follow the same movement but anticlockwise... ...so it is supposed to be < b >, isn't it? ...I want however note that I a came up with the first solution that suited my constructivism and didn't check for any emerging patterns with respect to the diagonals or with respect to addition and cancellation, what also is quite common in such visuells... ...and note that I tried yesterday some and in two attempts I messed it up completely...
Le p'tit Daniel, and note that my first association with New Zealand isn't the Commenwealth ( ... do like history though... ) or the alps ( they must be very nice though... ) it is Eliza Mccartney and she is a very cute Zuckerschnute, who pulls off pole vault... ...and is there a chance to get to know her, once I will have been able to clear away the gloom and dark here?
This test is surly not as culture fair as the ravens matrices. If you know fibonacci for example you will recognize it as such and draw the conclusion faster
Try brainzella iq test this also seem accurate
Sorry for being slow, I saved the test and i will check it out tomorrow morning. Too sleepy right now for anything that requires a brain.
If a team of psychologists calibrated this test on a website with 100,000 people (to calculate average, sd etc), without giving them access to answers, and it gave me 134, do you think it is reliable?
What test are you talking about? If we assume that they actually tested it on 100,000 people in a unbiased way then it should be reliable.
it is not reliable! You have people only clearing a few questions and stop out of boredom, you have other taking the test multiple times, etc.
No online test is considered valid and every Online IQ test will state it on their website.
The only reliable test one can get is the one taken under the supervision of a psychologist working for a certified instutition and those tests cost a few hundred dollars. Don't be gullible and think that you have an IQ of 130+ just because an free online test scored you so, lol..
Where can I find this website? I did this and it didnt give me any score
Thanks
Questions are similar to Mensa norway
number 11 i saw 1 line why two line . please explan?
How accurate is this test?
Wait, did it even provide an IQ score? What are you questioning being inaccurate?
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions the test says your chances of passing an actual mensa test .so I am asking if that is accurate and if the questions are similar to an actual test.
@@law1409 Oh, I think the questions of the test are a bit outdated. From people who I have spoken with who have taken the test, it seems like there is only ravens matrices. So Mensa Norway would be a more accurate representation of a real test (from what I have heard). Of course if you score high on this test, you have a high probability of scoring high on the Mensa Norway aswell...

What does a score of 33/33 on this test correlate to in terms of a measured iq?
An IQ of 145
Don’t think it correlates very well with iq. The error variance is way to large. It just means you got a 33/33 on the test. If you want to know your iq just take a formal iq test.
@@Jameslululu most "formal" ones top at 145 IQ. But scoring 100% they say "145 or higher" since getting 100% doesn't mean you are the exact IQ that is given for no errors since it could theoretically be higher. Though this can only be determined fr if you take multiple tests of the same standard (Weschler, Stanford-Binet, Cattell etc) - that is, a >145 IQ.
