I feel like my programming knowledge helped, which maybe means it's a bad IQ test - being a programmer shouldn't mean your IQ tests higher. But then again, maybe the causality is the other way around?
- soheil 4y agoThat's over 3 sigma can you back up the claim to your score?
- weberer 4y agoI got the same. There's really no proof you can give beyond a screenshot. https://imgur.com/QxSFWsD https://imgur.com/QxSFWsD
- Imnimo 4y agoAgree, I felt like I knew what to do for some of them because of programming experience. I remember taking similar tests as a child, and always assumed that the pattern must be of the form "each object in the first square moves to some new location in the second square according to a rule, and then continues moving according to that rule to a new location in the third square". But here it seemed obvious to me that some questions were "combine the first square and the second square according to a logical operator like AND or XOR". I don't think I would have been so quick to see that sort of rule without being exposed to them frequently in programming.
- newaccount74 4y agoI also feel that my programming knowledge and discrete maths courses in university helped me recognise patterns in this test quicker. But I only got 121, so just being a programmer apparently isn't enough :)
