I'm gonna sound like a huge nerd for saying this, but in question 2, the length of the red line cannot be determined. The side lengths are defined, but they could actually be placed in any angle because that is not defined. This would change the length of the red line.

Indicating right angles or parallel lines would fix this.

50/50 - The difference between getting a 45 and a 50 (if math is your hangup), is just being able to move on as soon as you've ruled out answers that can't be right. For example the 119 * 119 question: I don't need to figure it out, I just know that 100 * 100 is 10,000, and there's only one answer bigger than 10,000. There are a bunch of problems like that, and if you can do that problem in 2 seconds instead of 45, it lets you spend more time elsewhere if you need it.

Time is definitiv the main factor here. Most of the questions are pretty easy, although as a non native english speaker I struggeled with some of the vocabulary questions.

I also guessed some of the mathematics questions to win some time.

I still ended with about 10 questions unanswered but 36 right.

An IQ test measures the raw processing power of your brain, so of course time is a factor. It measures how quickly your brain can process data and do abstract calculations.

It's similar to a computer benchmark in which you measure how many operations a computer chip can do in a certain time, or how long it takes to do a certain job (both measure how many calculations per second).

The time limit is an important part of an IQ test. It is an assessment that measures a range of cognitive abilities, including solving problems, using logic, and spatial reasoning and how well the test taker can do these things within a time limit. Cognitive abilities by definition includes how fast you can do things and how well you can do them under pressure. Taking it away would make this test not an IQ test.

You are right about time being a key factor for an IQ test, but in this test there are some questions which test your knowledge, or better put, your vocabulary.

While a higher IQ helps to achieve a greater vocabulary, it also depends a lot on the social environment you lived in.

Of course it is also a factor if the language of the test is your native language or a language you learned later, but I assume that this test is meant for native english speakers, so I don't think that matters here.

Among all the things in a typical IQ test, vocabulary has the highest correlation with g, or general intelligence.

Yes, it's obvious you can study vocabulary, but it's not like you can do it in an afternoon. It takes years, and smarter people will learn faster. Other parts of an IQ test are actually much more game-able.

For native speakers of a language, a large vocabulary is a strong, though not foolproof, indicator of intelligence.

47/50 with 2 minutes left, though I got fooled by how numbers are written in english (as opposed to french) : we use a komma to indicate decimals and space out groops of 3 numbers, while in english the point is used for the decimals and a komma for thousands.

Example :

French writing : this house costs 1 000 000,00€

English writing : this house costs $1,000,000.00

So I misinterpreted a number in the thousands as a much smaller number with decimals, whose order of magnitude couldn't be true.

The odds question is incorrect. 7/8 is the probability. Odds are equal to the probability of an event happening divided by the probability of the event not happening. Here, that is 7/8 / 1/8 = 7/1 = 7. The odds are 7, or as odds are most typically expressed, 7:1 or 7 to 1.

A lot of NFL players are pretty dumb, but not all of them. It is just a fact and this test is traditionally used on them to test their cognitive abilities. This is an adaptation of the real thing; the record for the real test to be finished is nine minutes at a 48/50 by Ryan Fitzpatrick.

At first it seems like it’s a doubling sequence: from 1/8 to 1/4, from 1/4 to 1/2. Since there isn’t an answer that shows from 1/2 to 1, it must be the “increasing the margin by another 1/8 each time”.

I looked at it like 2:00>3:00>6:00>10:00 giving 2+1=3, 3+3=6, 6+4=10 then looking at the possible answers pretty obvious. I was surprised to see this quiz, scored 50/50. Having taken the wonderlic a few times loooong ago for job interviews, I think I scored in the low 40s at the time. The 'trick' for the math stuff is to quickly rationalize the answers rather than figure out the answers, mostly ratios and simple algebra. The farm one is a good example, good soil is a 1:4 producer, others are a 1:.25 producer, 4/.25=16. I think the wonderlic is out of fashion, but it's just a tool.

Looking at the stats, only 50% reach question 42. Just an observation, I found it an interesting piece of information.

Happy with my score (4/5), I didn't get 34 wasted too much time there so picked one and had to speed up afterwards. It was the only one I got wrong (of those I actually tried to solve), skipped 42 cause I had just seconds left and ran out of time when just after answering 46.

So 1 wrong 1 skipped and 3 not reached. If I had skipped the one I had wrong, perhaps I could have solved the others. (48and 49 are easy, 47 and 50 are ones that need concentration though, something that I have difficulties with . Health related, at one point I couldn't read 3 words because by then I had forgotten the first already, and simple additions like 15+8 would take me forever, because when thinking of the 8 I had already forgotten what I was adding it to..So I am happy to have been able to do this test at relative speed.

Maybe in the answer stats also add a column with the question number? That way you could get a clearer picture which questions were difficult and which people just didn't get around to. (When you sort the columns by question number).

Question #41 is ambiguous and should be rejected. While a fan is not a mode of transport, it produces motion using spinning wheels like all the others except for the boat. If you had never seen any of these items before, and didn't know what they were used for, one could easily conclude that the boat, with no moving parts at all, and probably found in the water, a different environment from any of the others, could be the odd one out.

If 20% of the farms grow 80% that means that each of those 20% farms grow 4% of the total.

That leaves only 20% to be divided among the 80%. Which can be simplified to 1/4 pretty quickly or .25%.

16 quarters equal 4 wholes.

That is how each of the 20% outpreform by 16X.

Hope this helps you understand it now.

49/50.

I have missed "boisterous", a word I have never heard of, English being my third language. Most of this quiz felt more like an English exam rather than an intelligence test.

Also, it is clearly ment for Americans, with how the dates are written their scrambled way, and miles and dozens are used. Also, the AM-PM clock took me some more time than it would have if the times were written out normally.

Man, the timing would have been good to have noticed beforehand, was expecting ~30 questions.

Very different to tests in the UK where they teach you to be thorough and check your answers, I only answered 80% of the questions cos I was being leisurely and double-checking.

An average of 35 is in the 97th percentile so obviously Jetpunkers move up with points, it is being taken multiple times. Average IQ is 20 correct in the real world.

I do feel however most who do Jet Punk are on the right side of the bell curve.

Don't feel bad if you scored low, the twelve minutes go by fast and people who realize this do better just because they have a good idea when to skip a question.

I should've quickly done random answers for the ones I didn't have time for so instead of 40/50 I would've gotten 45/50. 40/41 right of the ones I tried. mannnnnnnnnnnnnn

when i get better at math i pray for a 50/50

Got all the english ones right though

49/50 with 3 minutes to spare.

I got one question wrong because I clicked the wrong answer by mistake. That alone makes me unfathomably stupid.

Similar thing, 49/50 with minutes to spare and the only one I got wrong I changed my answer and told myself I'd re-read, so dumb.
