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.
