Intelligence Test

I like finding those intelligence tests they have available online, and this is probably the most challenging one I've done. The results were too complicated to put this in a simple Google Reader share. All-in-all I don't think I did that well, maybe that Mensa top 2% is way off :P. Except for Visuospatial Processing, I rock at that.

Article is here, and the test is here. I'll show my score for each section, the mean, and then what percentage of the population did that well.


1/12 -- Visuospatial Working Memory Strategy
10.0/7.5 (Top 5.6%). This was remembering what number was in the boxes, and clicking them in order.
2/12 -- Verbal Reasoning
17.0/14.0 (Top 31.6%). True or False statements about circles and squares.
3/12 -- Focused Attention
47.0/25.0 (Top 8.0%). Stroop Effect: recognizing the word vs. the ink color.
4/12 -- Deductive Reasoning
11.0/9.9 (Top 40.2%). Find odd-one-out based on abstract rules.
5/12 -- Working Memory
7.0/5.7 (Top 16.9%). Remember the order that squares light up (Simon-style)
6/12 -- Mental Rotation
120.0/85.0 (Top 20.0%). Recognize patterns rotated.
7/12 -- Visual Attention
142.0/122.0 (Top 29.2%). Compare complex displays for matching/mismatching.
8/12 -- Verbal Working Memory
10.0/6.9 (Top 5.7%). Remember a sequence of numbers
9/12 -- Planning
31.0/22.0 (Top 23.7%). Re-order the balls on sticks (similar to Towers of Hanoi)
10/12 -- Paired Associates
5.0/5.0 (Top 50%). Remember what pictures were in which boxes (man I was terrible at this!)
11/12 -- Visuospatial Processing
108.0/47.0 (Top 1.2%). Compare a shape to a set of overlapping shapes.
12/12 -- Spatial Working Memory
9.0/6.7 (Top 22.8%). Find the yellow circles hidden in boxes.
