I did the timed 12 minute test there and got 138.

Speaking of IQ-tests... A while ago, a friend of mine sent me a bunch of questions from an IQ test he had done, asking me to help him out. But I didn't quite manage to figure out these two:
Pretty tough, or what do you think? Unfortunately I don't know what the correct answers are...

The first one: 2. (I'm fairly sure on that one. 
)
The second one: I'm not entirely sure, but I'll go with 2. Could also be 1 maybe.

How the jack did you figure that out? 
OK, the first puzzle shows some similarities between the single shapes, but the second one just seems to to show some random shapes: What's the square doing there, surrounded by all sorts of weird things? I just can't see any logical pattern.

On the contrary, it sounds like it may be accurate.
Heh, I'm just joking with you. I think it's innacurate too. (I only got a 127!
Even just randomly selecting 1/10th of the answers because it was boring shouldn't give me one that low!)

Okay, here's my reasoning:Ciceronian said:How the jack did you figure that out?
- On the first question, the number of black dots and their positioning in the 3x3 grid makes option 2 the only sensible choice.
- On the second question, well, that's a little harder to explain. Suffice it to say that I was going by the positions of circles and semi-circles, and the consecutive nature of the changes. But actually, looking at it again, option 5 might be another choice. It all depends on how you view the puzzle. The stupid thing is, you could arguably give reasons why ANY of those five choices should be in the blank square (though I think that 3 and 4 are less likely to fit).

It could be #4.Lord Parkin said:The first one: 2. (I'm fairly sure on that one.
If you count the dots at the first row, there are 4. On the second row, there are 6. On the third row, we can expect them to be 8. Moreover, on each row there are at least one of the three being the sum of the other 2.
Option 2 and option 4 are valid depending on how you see things.

Yeah, I can see your point. But that's the silly thing - as you said, it all depends on how you see things!!! You could argue either case, and who's to say that you're wrong?

On one i trust i allways get 124.
The first one both 2 & 4 look the best, 4 being the better answer - as it plays a part in a larger pattern than 2 does.Lord Parkin said:Okay, here's my reasoning:

The second one I found that all but 4 fit, but I'm thinking 3 is the best answer as I have found 2 patterns that point to it being correct.
This is an excellent online test, and truely the only one I would give reasonable credit to - simply on the type of questions asked, and methods used. True IQ is best reflected in finding patterns in abstract ways. This site had some very hard questions - not like the simple questions most online tests offer.Elrohir said:
