170, but I gave up on three of the questions and answered "I don't know" because I got tired of staring at the numbers (two of them) and letters (the last one) and didn't feel like spending any more time on it.

That was one of the best, IMHO.  It was the negative of the sum of the first two boxes.

That was one of the ones I hit "I don't know" for. The fact I am totally red colorblind may have had an effect.

I wouldn't know about that, but if you were to go back and look at them again, knowing what the pattern is, could you discern the differences on the basis of contrast or value?

I can try - though it would be unfair now since I have the pattern key.

Obviously.  I was more interested in the question as an academic matter.

Yep. Saw it straight away this time (hit "I don't know" until I got to that one). The red they use is awkward, it comes out as a very light grey for me, so I had to squint a bit to pick up the pattern, but it is there.

A true IQ test is a score derived from one of several standardized tests designed to assess intelligence. This is only one score.There are a variety of individually administered IQ tests in use in the English-speaking world The most commonly used individual IQ test series is the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale for adults and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children for school-age test-takers. Other commonly used individual IQ tests (some of which do not label their standard scores as "IQ" scores) include the current versions of the Stanford-Binet, Woodcock-Johnson Tests of Cognitive Abilities, the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children, the Cognitive Assessment System, and the Differential Ability Scales

yah....there were a couple of those that were too esoteric for me, and a couple of the patterns I could not make any sense of at all.  For all I know, "I don't know" was the only right answer....

I tired of the test after about the 4th what comes next question and just clicked radom answers the last half without reading the question. Scored 80 which is average anyway.

Just who are the guys promoting the test?  I posted the test on another forum and there were a couple of responses of interest.





Neither of which are a problem.  But the following certainly is.  Same deal for a score of 0 or 50.




What gives?
