- IQ tests are used to assess cognitive abilities, including problem-solving, logical reasoning, and analytical skills. These tests help determine how well candidates can think critically and handle complex tasks, which are essential for many job roles. By evaluating IQ, employers can identify individuals with high potential and the intellectual capacity to succeed in demanding positions.

An IQ test for employment is a type of psychometric assessment used by employers to measure a candidate's cognitive abilities and problem-solving skills. IQ stands for "intelligence quotient," and the test aims to provide an estimate of a person's general intelligence.
In an employment context, IQ tests are often used to evaluate a candidate's potential to learn, adapt, and perform well in the job role. They can be a part of the pre-employment screening process, especially for positions that require strong analytical, logical, and critical thinking skills.
IQ tests typically consist of a series of standardized questions that assess various cognitive abilities, including verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, logical thinking, spatial visualization, and pattern recognition. The questions may be presented in different formats, such as multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, or completing sequences.
Candidates are usually required to complete the test within a specified time frame, and their scores are compared to the average score of the general population of similar age groups. The results provide employers with insights into a candidate's intellectual abilities and their potential fit for the job.

@@OnlineTrainingforEveryone sir aik non verbal initail test of army pr bna dien
It wasn’t that hard
Thx
I have a IQ test in 4 to 5 months for the job of my dreams and I’m going to be totally honest I’m an idiot and I’m so scared to fail it. I need help understanding I can only get 1 to 2 questions right. I can’t understand some of the numerical reasoning questions and I don’t know the answers. If anyone reading this can help me or give me a few points on what to do I would really appreciate it.
I’ve learned a long time ago that the important factor to doing well on a test is knowing how the test creator thinks not actually the “correct” answer.
That is why real, valuable IQ tests are rare and expensive. I have a confirmed high IQ, but could not answer the first three of those examples correct. Based on these questions I would probably have an IQ of 70 or lower.
Brighter people often find patterns the creator did not intend.
That's a great observation! I couldn't argue this one :) Best of luck to all of my viewers!
@@annekekramer3835 alright but the flower question cmon no way u wouldn't say 7
Hmmm, same, the first three were pretty hard but they make sense though. With enough observation and thinking you can probably figure it out. @@annekekramer3835
It is incredible how not wanting to push for that kind of understanding will be considered as a lack of intelligence by many professionals.
4:48 I personally think, that, apart from the corner triangles, the circles do have a pattern: in the A, B and C - the colors of the bigger (pacman-)circle and the small circle are opposite, while their colors in D are the same. 💡💡💡
Obviously true in my opinion, I saw both reasons why D was the answer.
Uhh, I,m the same way! I always found patterns that other people dismissed.
I reasoned similar.
I thought C because it is the only pattern that you cant place a mirror in the middle
I was thinking the same sorta reasoning except I thought it was c because it’s the only one with a black circle 😂
Thank you very much Sir.

@@OnlineTrainingforEveryone All IQ tests are highly racist! Well according to the people who dont like the fact some races do extremely badly! this even includes tests that are purely pattern no simple maths! LOL
these question you did are very easy ones!
I have learnt so many math aptitudes thanks very much
The circles are also breaking the pattern, just like the triangles. A, B and C have opposite black-white circles, whereas D has two white. Therefore the pattern is broken for D for two reasons.
Well, the circles do have a pattern: The "correct" circles all are different in color, no matter what is what. D has only white circles. So this also leads to the answer: "D is out". (Edit: Oh, I see that others have mentioned that before me)
The problem with such IQ-test-questions is often that the creator has a logical answer in his mind when creating the test but the candidate may be even more intelligent and find a logic or a pattern behind the question that outsmarts the creator. Another example for this:
Odd word out:
Tomato, firefighter car, banana, cherry.
There is more than one solution and none is better or worse than the other.
You can sort out the car, because it is not edible.
But you can also sort out the banana because all the others are red.
So in tests like that you often sort out the candidates that are not too dumb but rather too smart. IQ tests are only as good as the one that made them and the one that checks them.
You could minimize that problem in always asking the candidate to "explain your answer" but I have never seen such a question in an IQ test.
I have seen this kind of problem surprisingly often, and there is never a way to explain my choice, nor to show why two different answers could each be correct!
Well thought out response. Read my response to the question at 6:13. My logic is solid, but I fear the question's creator didn't even think of it. He probably didn't have a 155 IQ. My answer of "C" comes from the observation that each of the 4 squares have triangles in the square's corners. In three of the figures opposite corners of the square have the same color triangles. In one figure the square has dissimilar color triangles in the opposing corners. Clearly "C" should be the correct answer. Perfect example of the point you make in your comment.
@user-qk4il7bp8p there's no comma between the firefighter and the car
There are multiple correct answers to which square doesn't belong. Choice C is the only one whose complete circle is black. In choice B the pac man's mouth is facing South. In choice C it's facing left. In choice D the bottom right corner is black. Choice A is the only one where none of the aforementioned elements can be isolated as a pattern deviation. That's a valid reason to choose A.
For 3rd example i choosen D too, but not by the solution on the video.
I excluded D becouse i counted "black shapes".
A has 3 black shapes (2 triangles and one 3/4 quarter circle)
B has 3 black shapes (same as A)
C has 3 black shapes (2 triangles and one circle)
D has 4 black spahes (4 triangles)
Very Helpful Tricks. Thanks for Sharing your expertise in minutes.
Maybe it means I'm dumb but I could argue there are multiple correct answers on questions 3 and 5. For example on question 5, If the florist "has" 77 plants, then he has 77 plants regardless if he sold all but 7. If he "had" 77 plants and sold all but 7 then he would have 7 left. Also, the florist could have 84 plants left since he has 77 plants and sold all but 7 from the previous batch or something. The problem I have with IQ tests is there is not enough context given to the questions and the concept of "out of the box" thinking is thrown out the window because only people who think similarly to the test creator or already know the trick behind the questions will have a good test result
"has" is PRESNT Tense so he "has" 77
Florist has 77 beautiful plants. The adjective "beautiful" throws you off.
If it takes a week to walk a fortnight, how many apples in a pound of grapes?
Thankyou, my point EXACTLY, they still have 77 plants, as its present tense, meaning maybe all but 7 bunches didn't sell, and perhaps there were 11 in a bunch😊
Q3: the circles also have a pattern: they can't be the same color
Q4: 0 = 0*1; 2 = 1*2; 6 = 2*3; 12 = 3*4; 20 = 4*5; 30 = 5*6; x = 6*7 = 42
For the 3rd question about the circles, I thought the pacman shaped thing had to be like "eating" the small circle of an opposite colour. For example, a white packman eats a black circle and vice versa. Answer D had a white pacman eating a white circle. So i found the answer to be D
Third question answer can be “C” .
@@cemreaj3405fr yo
For the first question I did it in columns not rows and I got 11
In 4th question the simplest way is to multiply position by previous starting For 1: 1*0 ; 2: 2x1. 3: 3x2, and we have finaly 7*6 =42
What I did in the last problem was to multiply by two, for example 0×2 = 0, 2×1= 2, 2×2= 4 2×3 = 6, 2×4= 8, 2×5= 10, 2×6 = 12 then I added the numbers that I got by multiplying by two that is 2,4,6,8,10,12 and it gave me 42. I think that is another way to solve the problem.
The squares question is a poor example of a question as there’s multiple rules that could define three and exclude a fourth. So you’re supposed to just guess, which of those may have been the rule the test setter was thinking? What a joke.
Why is it not a good idea to use questions like the first one in an IQ test?
Because you can find a rule for many (in fact infinite many) values for the question mark. In this situation answer A (5) is also correct.
For each row we have the next rule:
0,03 times the first value plus 0,55 the second value plus 0,22 times the third value is equal to the last value in the row.
this may be wrong, but another pattern I see is 0x1, 1x2, 2x3, 3x4, 4x5, 5x6, 6x7. The current position is multiplied by the value reduced by 1
Great job Kevin! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment as well!

Kevin, your formula is better because it's simpler.
Result = current_position * previous_position
Much better answer!!!
I solved the second question in a different manner,
Taking 1st triangle, 6x2=12, 12+2=14, thus 1,4 in 2nd triangle. then 4-1=3.
Taking 3rd triangle, 2x3=6, 6+5=11, thus 1,1 in 4th triangle. Then 1-1=0.
I just stumbled on your video, do you by any chance have videos on dot patterns.
Thank you so much sir GOD bless you ❤
I get all of them.Thankyou
First question can be answered using multiplication
2x8 =16 last number 6
9x5=45 last number 5
Last should be than
9x7=63 LAST NUMBER 3
#2 is a bad problem because there is another solution. If you add the sum of the numbers in each triangle, the result is not a prime. So the question mark could be represented with c) 3.
Thank you for such a good explanation. It built confidence in me. Thank you sir.
If these are the kind of question to test our IQ. Then, to me it is an inaccurate measurement. It test ones visible ability to see pattern, not ability to reason and make sound decision base a given info. If you practice enough of these type of visual question within a day, you can dramatically improve your score . Does that mean you got smarter within that day?
Yes
No, It means you got better at answering questions in a way the test writer has determined is correct.
If two people are given a stack of five short instructional books to read about how to operate a cnc bridgeport, and person A memorizes all 5 books, but person B only read one of the 5. Who is smarter.
See, person B knew that the other 4 books were full of crap and only read the book with information that directly correlated to the reality of the machine he was about to use. The other 4 books are full of lies and misleading information.
The ability to aquire information means nothing if the information you aquire is wrong.
Intelligence is knowing a tomato is a fruit, but wisdom informs you it don't belong in the fruit salad.
For question 5, there was a simpler way to get the answer. You just need to plus the next number by 2 and plus the 2 every time we calculate the next number. Here is an example 0 (plus 2) 2 (plus 4. I add 2 to the number I plus every time I calculate the next number. Just saying in a easier way to understand ❤
quick footnote ... on the number matrix problem, the vid says the answer is either in the rows or the columns. but the pattern could also show up in the diagonal. it's not popular (i've only seen it once, tbh) but it is out there.
6:22 You could argue that C is the odd one out, since the pattern could be that the triangles match each other diagonally in all the other boxes.
I scored low in IQ as a child because I found difficult questions sneaky!! I knew smart people were trying to trick me. I basically had a bad attitude and just guessed.😮 But I always had good grades when it was straight knowledge information. Black and white so to speak and I excelled at music. Advanced math was a weak point. I managed a masters degree music.
For question three, it's alsot the one where both the inner and outer shapes don't vary in color. Quite easy to spot since it conflicts with multiple patterns present in the other three.
i think the same , hope you have dome well in your test🥰
wish me luck!🥲
There is a second pattern in the first question that yields the same answer, but it’s probably just a coincidence. I looked at how the value changes in the rows from left to right:
First row
From 2 to 8 = +6
From 8 to 7 = -1
From 7 to 6 = -1
Second row
From 9 to 5 = -4
From 5 to 9 = +4
From 9 to 5 = -4
Third row
From 9 to 7 = -2
From 7 to 4 = -3
From 4 to X = change from 4 to X
If you form a new matrix consisting of the change between values, you get a 3x3 matrix that looks like this:
+6 -1 -1
-4 +4 -4
-2 -3 X
Where X is the value we’re trying to find.
If you look at the columns of the new matrix we just made, you’ll notice that if you make both the first and the second element of the column negative then add them together, you get the third element in the column:
-6 + 4 = -2
1 + (-4) = -3
If we follow this logic for the next column, we get:
1 + 4 = change from 4 to X, change from 4 to X = 5
Knowing that the value must change by positive 5, we add 4 + 5 to get our final answer X = 9
Again probably just a coincidence, but still cool.
Nice tricks to solve the problems

9:45 you changed the question. It said “All but 7 WERE sold” and then changed it to “All but 7 sold”. The “were” makes a difference. All but 7 means all of the plants but not 7 of them meaning 70, were sold. So 70 were sold.
that’s legit changes nothing
and the questions was how many are left lmao
@@TristanKovacich All but 7 sold- total - 7 = how much left. Only 7 are sold
All but 7 were sold - total - 7 = how much sold. Everything is sold except 7
Just came because of the triangle one in the thumbnail, I mostly want to say that it is quite inconsistent with most iq tests as usually iq tests of such kind are supposed to test for the ability to find patterns and not thinking outside the expected bounds of the test.
Very nicely explained

@@OnlineTrainingforEveryone sure
My dumbass is looking at shapes for patterns. Turns out its a math question
Not dumb, but instead thinking outside of the box. Iq tests are deeply flawed in that regard, as they punish outside thinking
5:50 D - the circle pattern exists and is simple: the big and the small circles are opposite colors.
Well done! Your participation in the challenge is valued, and your answer reflects your dedication. Best wishes for a successful job interview and assessment test. Keep up the great work and continue reaching for your goals!!
Question 3: There are three black shapes and three white shapes in all of the examples, except the fourth.
That one has only two white shapes, but four black shapes.
So number four is the odd one out.
I had a hard time figuring out what was wrong with me until I realized that the simple problem might be the serious lack of judgment in these tests. It becomes very paradoxical when you hear professionals say they want to help...
1:35
Omgosh me on this question went like: (ig i went through the longer solution)
10-9=1
10-9=1
Then you add these and you get the first row number
Others columns:
10-5=5
10-7=3
5+3=8
10-9=1
10-4=6
1+6=7
So the answer is:
10-5=5
10-?=¿
?+5=6 --> ?=1
So:
10-1=?=9✓
C) 9
Thank you so much ❤️❤️
#1 Well .. I didn't waste ''that much'' time looking at the rows 😝
before I realised that the columns added up to 20
#2 You wouldn't believe how long it took me to start adding up
the numbers from different triangles .. to get 10
#3 D because the circle with 1/4 missing and the small circle
are the same colour .. and the corners are all the same colour
#4 I have to be honest and say that I've seen this one before
The pattern is +2 +4 +6 + 8 + 10 etc making the answer 42
#5 You just told us .... 7
The plant question does not imply that the plants were picked up - just that they were sold. Sold - over the phone or on line - does not take them away from inventory until such time as the delivery is made; therefore a secondary correct answer is 77.
3:47 my solution was B bc the pacman shape in the middle was eating the circle facing down and it was facing up in the other choices.
Lot of tks sir for valuable information
i solved the 4th and 5th so easily, but the first 3 questions really got me thinking hard and didnt quite solve it
5 out of 5 ... thanks for the ego trip!
Wow! Amazing video
Thanks for the feedback!
Have a great work sir, this video tooo useful for me sir
Thanks Sambavi, Glad you liked it! All the best on your job interview and assessment test!
The only thing i got right is the Last one. 😂 Overall this video is very helpful to me.
I passed the first Mensa test but failed the second. But I don't know how close I came. That hurt, I much wanted to join Mensa to have intelligent friends and hopefully find an appreciative wife. I wrote to Mensa headquarters and sent them a music CD of my advanced jazz compositions, to demonstrate my possession of sufficient intelligence, what I thought would get me in, but they apparently did not care and refused to respond. I wish I could have known the tricks of the trade required, in order to pass the IQ tests, but this was years before the internet
It's funny how I think way more complicated than it actually is. On thr second question my answer wasn't even there yet it made perfectly sense.
I added the highest numbers and subtracted them with the lowest of each triangle.
Triangle 1: 6 + 2 - 2 = 6
Triangle 2: 4 + 3 - 1 = 6
Triangle 3: 3 + 5 - 2 = 6
Logically, the 4th triangle should also equal 6.
Triangle 4: x + 1 - 0 = 6
I don't think I need an equation for this since you can easily go for 6 - 1 which makes 5 as the 0 has no influence in this particular problem.
So now we know it's 5:
5 + 1 - 0 = 6
Actually, if there are already answers you have to choose from in which there is no 1 but a 5, it's 5. In this case there is no 5 but 1 so that's the correct answer in this problem.
I always tend to think more complicated because it's my way and I shall learn the way of thinking of the author (creator) of this problem. I think in all the ways possible but they get more complicated too quickly since I don't think of other simple possibilities but in my opinion my way of thinking isn't bad actually and rather more challenging but that depends on the person as for me, I thought of this way first so I can't be the only one. Everyone has their own way of thinking so I'm sure others tend to think of my faster than yours and the other way around.
But personally, the solution you had is more simple, whether it's one's first or last option, it's pretty simple.
Omg, I really can't stop typing.☠️☠️
Have a nice day/night!!❤️🌄🌟
In that type of questions, first find the summation of the numbers along the row and if all other rows are not giving the same value then try it for the columns. As in the first question the summation of the elements in the first column is 20. So the correct answer is 9.
its very use full and easy mathoud also thank you so much sir i learn today new one topic from you thanks once again sir please uplode more and more videoes pleace.
Sir teach us train direction and son daughter age comparison
You could argue that the circles have a pattern 1 black 1 white. Same result by denying set 4 as having the relationship.
how am i supposed to know all these patters? What does any of this have to do with IQ?
Florist 'has' 77 plants regardless of how many are sold. Florist 'had' 77 plants gives 7 as correct answer. If understanding language is important to solving a problem (word 'but'), than grammar has to work.
I got all the answers😌
in test 3 there IS a pattern in the circles.. it's that they are opposite contrast of each other in a,b and c.. and same in d. ALSO in question 5.. the fact that he SOLD them doesn't mean they are non-existant.. so for "being left" you could argue that non dissappeared, they simply changed hands. but i see how you can say 7 is the correct answer.
I did this half asleep and did 4/5 correctly
Thanks a million great video
Very nice sir😊
Sir, how do you determine what number would be correct if the sequence is different? current + (2 * current position)
For the circle/triangle one, the first thing that caught my eye was that C is the only one with a small black circle. Whereas A,B & D all have small white circles. Is that not a pattern? I hate how I always come to the wrong conclusion. I often end up guessing what the creator of the test is trying to suggest and it becomes psychological when I know it shouldn’t.
this is my answer as well C is different one if we base it on the small circle and also the black triangles are diagonal while the triangles of C is on the left side 😅, anyways I got an IQ ranging to 115 which is consider as above average 😂
I got the second question right in a different way
Love your work man
Thanks Harry! Really appreciate it!!!
Wow good work
I now know why I was extremely good at some in tests while performing very badly on others, the reason is that the ones that I found easily where patterns oriented, contrarily to the others. In pattern oriented is test I would get a nearly 28-29 out of 30 questions, guess I’m a genius at recognising patterns. However there are other factors to determine an intelligent person that you wouldn’t find in any test : strategy and planning abilities.
Love from Pakistan 🇵🇰
In the last question, all the answers are correct. Indeed, any answer equal to or greater than seven is right. Why? Because it states that the florist begins with 77 ‘beautiful plants’ but only asks ‘how many plants are left’, not ‘how many beautiful plants are left’. The florist could have any number of ugly plants, so the number of plants left is 7 + a where ‘a’ is the number of plants that aren’t beautiful.
which square doesn't belong to the group? at 3:54 is a good example for those visuells that holds more than one discongruency being the possible solution in that the third square got a black circle ( the tiny one ), as the other circles are white, so that would also be a conclusive solution, even though it isn't the right one... ...besides you can argument very well on that the inner big circle with the inclusion of 90 degrees has very well a paradigm that is the inclusion firstly moves down by 90 degrees than by 180 degrees, so following this paradigm the odd one out would also be the fourth square since the inclusion would have had to move down by again 90 degrees... ...right?
Le p'tit Daniel
For the 2nd question I found a different pattern but same answer lol.
If we sum up the 2 upper triangles top corner they add to 6, and bottom 4 corners add to 12, thus 2x
For the bottom two triangles I applied the same logic and since the bottom 4 corners had a sum of 8, the top two corners must be half thus a sum of 4 which is how I got A.
That isn't any good - and you are wrong. Did you forget to take your medicines?
lmao

This also has quite an easy algebraic solution as well: it's called "Newton's polynomial with divided differences" and it goes like this:
With all the ranks of divided differences you construct the polynomial and compute the P(n) that you require. In our case P(6).
The computation of ranks is n-1 therefore, 5 ranks required, or, when an entire rank scores 0.
Lets' go!
Step 1: You setup initial functions f(n) based on your given input. Therefore:
f(0) = 0; f(1) = 2; f(2) = 6; f(3) = 12; f(4) = 20; f(5) = 30
Step 2: You compute the 1st rank of differences:
Δf(0) = f(1) - f(0) = 2
Δf(1) = f(2) - (1) = 4
Δf(2) = f(3) - f(2) = 6
Δf(3) = f(4) - f(3) = 8
Δf(4) = f(5) - f(4) = 10
Step 3: You compute the 2nd rank of differences:
Δ₂f(0) = Δf(1) - Δf(0) = 2
Δ₂f(1) = Δf(2) - Δf(1) = 2
Δ₂f(2) = Δf(3) - Δf(2) = 2
Δ₂f(3) = Δf(4) - Δf(3) = 2
Step 4: You compute the 3rd rank of differences:
Δ₃f(0) = Δ₂f(1) - Δ₂f(0) = 0. Here we will notice that in fact, all differences will be 0, and in term all upcoming ranks will be 0, so we don't continue anymore. We will construct the polynomial up until the 2nd rank.
Step 5: You use Newton's polynomial to check each solution, by it's generic form:
P(n) = f(0) + n ∙ Δf(0) + n(n-1) ∙ (Δ₂f(0) / 2!) + n(n-1)(n-2) ∙ (Δ₃f(0) / 3!) + n(n-1)(n-2)(n-3) ∙ (Δ₄f(0) / 4!) + ...
In our case, the polynomial will stop at the second rank, because the 3rd one and the ones after will result in 0.
We can quickly check that all polynomials satisfy the first 6 numbers:
P(0) = 0; P(1) = 2; P(2) = 6; P(3) = 12; P(4) = 20; P(5) = 30
therefore, it must satisfy the 7th polynomial:
P(6) = 0 + 2 ∙ 6 + 6 ∙ 5 ∙ (2/2!) = 42.
And that's your answer!
This example is trivial, because even a pattern can be easily distinguished, but good luck solving something like this:
Compute the next number in the sequence: 6, 18, 90, 504, 3960. No pattern will help you here :) That's why the above solution works very well.
I could solve 3 & 4, and thinking to calculate the number of plant in the picture when it was shown
I love his handwriting😭
Thank you so much!
For the Fourth one i thought of sequence and came up with the sequence n^2 - n
Thank you
Thank you ❤❤❤❤
So I'm in a heated debate with my friend over the Florist one. The way the question is worded could imply that Florist also bought all but 7 of their plants because all but 7 were sold. "Sold" could mean that the florist had said plants sold to them as opposed to them doing the selling. The presence of the word "left" indicates that the Florist was the one doing the selling, however, without this word involved, could it be reasonably assumed that the florist also was a buyer instead of a seller? All but 7 plants were sold; could it mean that another entity also was the one who sold said plants?
Thanks so much
Im convinced the test is only as good as the author of it and they might not be "geniuses". See what im saying?
Agreed. Most of those "worse" questions have multiple patterns. Example, which does not belong: Square, rectangle, circle, cube? Yes, there are multiple reasonings with multiple answers, and no, the test only counts one as correct.
You’re correct. I’ve been through Calc III, Differential equations, etc., and I still shake my head at the absurdity of some of the solutions to these “IQ” tests. The only way to be good at IQ tests, is to study IQ tests, as many of the questions invite multiple interpretations.
@@mangore623well there is another way that surprised me that made me do better on IQ tests. I learned to speak another language, Spanish. The bilingual brain functions at a higher level. As I write this I thought of another thing I’m doing that will probably increase it which is leaning to read music and play the piano at the same time. I already know how to play the guitar but I’m not very good. The app comes with guitar training too but I’ve been enjoying the piano too much. So this RUclips video popped up and, of course I thought well one way to do well would be to study for it. It doesn’t really matter what my score is, but it’s just for fun. My mother just died from Alzheimer’s. I used to be terrified I would get it. So I bumped up the Spanish lessons. I recently found out that playing a music instrument lowers the risk of dementia by 65%. I gave blood a couple of days ago it it made me wonder if different types of blood affects your health. So I looked it up and it said people, like me, who have O+ are a lot less like to have cognitive impairment. The only thing now I have to watch out for is having a stroke from high blood pressure because every thing else is in good shape 😊
I definitely agree... I'd rather have a country boy mechanic on my side then some one with a high IQ. At least the I know the country boy is able to change not only my engine out but can go to his house and change a light bulb in a lamp or install a fire place or cook dinner he caught or fight off an invasion.... Lol I can't tell you how many people that were smart.... People that literally didn't know how to change a filter in there HVAC or even change a light bulb....
Like really dude how did you make all your money....
O well I'm a theoretical physician.....
Um ok so you day dream about stuff that doesn't matter and you can't prove and you get paid because you have paid for a diploma so your in a tax receivers club....
Couldn't figure it out so you're upset? Aww 😢
Thank you
The 2nd question I found the answer but with a different method
There is another pattern to be found in the triangle test. If you look at the lines of each triangle you'll notice the differential of highest to lowest number is a sequence of 4, either 1,2,3,4 or 0,1,2,3
bottom line left line right line
6-2=4 6-2=4 2-2=0
3-1=2 4-1=3 4-3=1
5-2=3 3-2=1 5-3=2
1-0=1 ?-1=2 ?=3 ?-0=3 ?=3
I know this is a more complicated pattern so your answer is the likely answer but it exists and so an honest answer must include c)3
I get it, but its more flawed than the original answer. You switch places from the numbers you choose in order to get the answer you wish, and also last one starts with 0. Original answer is less complex sure, but also less flawed, making it the clearest answer.
I scored 5/5. I am so excited to sit for the IQ test :))
احسنت يارجل. متابعك من العراق. استمر.
حي الله العراقيين
Actually there are still 77 plants . 7 at the Florist and 70 elsewhere .
yup also has is present tense could have sold online and not delivered. either way poorly worded question.
Good lecture
I see a different pattern in question 3. A, B and C all have 3 white and 3 black figures each. D has 2 white and 4 black figures. Still the andwer is D.
Are these questions free can we use?
I think next = current + 2 * (next position)
Last question's answer is right? All but means what?
Except.
Hello thanks, BUT I disagree the answer should be B because all the other circles A,B,C are facing the black triangle only B is facing the white triangle what about that ?
By the way the above comment was about the question saying "which square doesn't belong to the group".
I love your channel....Thq you so much....
Sir is iqmetrics website safe kr not pls reply me .... Please try 🙏🏻
