everyone loves these tests!

visual pattern fluid intelligence test. it's 15 questions, timed for 20 minutes, and fun! You get a percentile at the end. Wife got 18, I got 96. different much?

I got 78%. I consistently score worse on visual test compared to other tests.. My eyesight has been poor all my life and find that I tend to use my ears more. For example, I listen for cars at intersections more than I use my eyes and I prefer to listen to the news rather than watch. When I see things I see them as wholes and recognize the overall effect it has on me, ie., pleasing, dark, anger, serene, nice, ugly.

67% and I'm still waking up, and hate tests.

But I'll take since every internet intellect wannabe on the net is taking it.

These visual tests make my brain hurt -- some seem instantly obvious, while others are puzzles to be solved. 96%

96%

I am S-M-R-T, that spells 'smart'.

And now I'm wondering which I missed. The second to last one gave me fits!

If I had more time I would take the test over and over with different answers for that one until I discovered the correct answer. Unless he randomly selects the questions from a larger pool!

Oh God -- I wouldn't want to put myself through that much pain. What if that wasn't the wrong one? I was haunted by the very same feeling in regard to math portion of the SAT and the ACT. One wrong -- the story of my life.....

We're being silly. I bet the top 4-5% got them all right... because we're infallible

I was thinking the same thing... with the sample of people who decided on their own to take this thing online, I imagine there were at least 4% who got them all right. Thusly, the 96% percentile would be the best one could do, as you'd have performed better than 96%, but equal to 4%. I was only not sure about the circle and revolving equals sign one.

I would have posted regarding my own 18% if that's what I'd earned. Not everyone has these aptitudes, and I'm sure I could find some algebra test that I would place in the 5th or 6th percentile! ugh. algebra. Could always do geometry and trig, but no algebra. Looking back, I bet if I learned it by the theory rather than the memorization, I'd have done much better. Waaaaaa, my school didn't cater to my learning style, waaaaaa! ha ha. (ironically, I use lots of math now, and do just fine, so whatever)

I hate these tests. I get so caught up in little details, that I fail to see the larger patterns. Ughhh!
