In many tests different solutions lead to the same answer,
e.g. the same rule might apply horizontally and vertically,
but as long as the video already is, I'm only showing one.

I did not create this test, meaning I can not be certain that these solutions actually are the correct solutions or the correct answers, so be your own judge.

Impressed. You showed us how to solve all puzzles in a very nice analytical way. All answers are correct. BRAVO!
See out for more of this, if possible from countries outside the Scandinavian region (south of Denmark).
Animated is better than the others!!
I am really new to these kinds of tests and to the logic behind them, but some of the last ones really feel like someone has to guess an insanely complex “function” (sequence of steps) behind some randomly generated pattern. Is this what “intelligence” really is? Most mathematical/analytical problems require a robust motivation/structure/reasoning behind what you are trying to accomplish. I certainly can’t imagine having to complete these under 15-20 seconds or smth. Wow!
the ways shown in the video are absurdly complicated compared to how you would solve these items normally
An interesting thought I often think about with these Raven matrices. Non-verbal method of defining intelligence but what is it truly measuring? Is the time fair? If someone trains for these as the questions themselves have a clear pattern to them that you can practice looking out for (with the exception of the last few questions) then how does that get accounted for? What about different methods of pattern recognition that arrive at the same answer but with a more sophisticated method vs a simpler one? Having multiple choice can also be a problem since you can arrive at the correct answer without completely seeing all aspects of the pattern compared to someone who thought of a complete picture. You can also get the right answer for the wrong reasons and faulty logic. There is too much these tests don’t actually measure so putting faith in them, in my opinion, is ironically a low IQ move lol. If anyone says that’s me being insecure though I actually got a super high result on this test but to avoid coming across as bragging I will not disclose the exact number.
I got 142 😮
@@pineapplejuice1156 It is not a reliable test. Real IQ tests are longer and professionally done with a psychologist
the proliferation of simultaneous guesses working in realtime is tantamount to (one kind of an) intelligence yes - to web, network, systematize them
Ngl question 18 I taught they were stacked on each other cancelling touching lines in addition to adding a flip line on first row, then second row the flip just went offscreen and deleting the useless height of the two + thats why its short, then last line you stack on each other and cancels out half the lines (2segments per line on 3rd row) and then flipped to give only 3 vertical lines
Real Mensa test starts from Q.30 - Q.35 and you already out of time. 😁Never seen puzzle that uses the whole 9 squares before, good workout!
So if i got a few of those questions right does it mean something?
i got to Q.30 with like 17 min left

Fully right with u, friend
Rly cool video. Did you know the right answers before you animated or do you show us how you think about the questions? Number 11. for instance, i got the same answer but I did't get how your illustration demonstrated the right answer.
It was relay cool to see an alternate way of thinking, it was like it opened a hole new world of possibilities, for my self, to think. How our consciousness works and how we can stretch it to fit our goals - in this instance the IQ test -, relay is fascinating. When we do this our very existence and how we perceive the world will change at the same time. New "path ways" will form to thrive in "space", in new and better ways. Just like we do every day, but in a more advanced way. I could literally see space and my consciousness transform when i saw the alternative ways of thinking, relative to my own, in your animation. It's like getting the chance to see how an other human thinks and perceives the world, that is quite special. :)
Yea I solved these tests before making this video, this video just summarises my thought process by showing 1 answer for each test, leaving the failed attempts out, would make too long of a video otherwise. In 11 I just removed the left from the centre and moved what remained to the right.
And you are damn right this opens a lot of new worlds, I already use this for language teaching, - demonstrating how I understand languages, mathematics, anything, this is just the beginning.
Has taken me years to figure all of this out, but it's hard to be taken seriously because all of this is basically new.
Thanks for the comment, have a nice one!
I am test in I.Q. just by training my brain.
No 35 break inferencing consistency rules, where there is no relatiion sample to apply, except inference direction must be diagonally from right up to, left bottom or from left up to right bottom, and duplicate visual of question on eveyside of current question, so it make readable visual diagonal pattern, it simmilar to question no 32
😂😂 that shark teath question was hard 😮 .
I had 135 iq before i saw this! I now feel stup1d for NOT noticing some questions! (Except 33 and 35 they didnt make any sense to me and they still do not)

34 can be answered by B. in diagonal direction 1, 6, 8/ 2,4,9/3,5,7 have same logic. two white balls are moving counter clockwisely. in this way the answer is B.
yeah i solved it in that way
34 Can D or G depending on the pattern you think. Although G is more "right" D is also "right'

감사합니다!
The first time I took it, I noticed a couple of my mistakes on the earlier ones around number 11 or so. I scored 120 the first time. The second time, I scored 136. I am unsure. I have two degrees, tutored math, and I am decent with patterns. I obtained mostly As in high school and in college. Anyway, good luck to those on this test. The second to last question I still could not understand.
QS 32,WE NEED TO GUESS GHOSTS
got all up to 31, but then had few minutes left for the last 4, failed them
took more time outside of the test and was able to find 32 and 34, i still needed the solution for 33, 35
but.. i think the ones who scored 140+ are more likely lucky than smarter, like, 2 in 100 got 135iq, 1 in 31k got 160iq, in 31k there are 620 people with 135iq, so this 620 people will try their rng with the unknown question with 1/6 odds for a correct answer, few lucky ones will get 150 by pure luck, lets say you manage to esclude few options logically and there you go
this assuming the real test is similar
35s honestly not so bad, it’s basically like some of the triangle square circle stuff from earlier(question 23) where they each need to appear in the row(except now the shapes are the “up arrow”, “down arrow”, “vertical parallel lines”, “horizontal parallel lines”, and “horizontal line”
there can be some confusion in the bottom left box as to whether it had the “horizontal line” and the “vertical parallel lines” or just the parallel line, however that can be easily deduced by looking at the columns and seeing that the third already has the “horizontal line”
Brilliant, do more videos
Q17 i got 12 o clock…. The pattern is adding up the minutes from the previous clock left to right
#35 solution seems not logical. another more logical solution is:
Add the diagonal pictures from right and left together and combine them in the third row.
I think you're wrong. Although in some there may be some logical workarounds. The hardest one was 33 for me. I don't even find logic even after seeing the answer
Nicely done!
Thanks, Neijen!
Explanation for 34 can't be right because nobody in their sound mind can think of that
Nr. 18 is wrong, you showed the harder way
dude wtf is wrong with question 32? should i imagine shapes out of the question itself, this is absurd
its saying they “combine” like they do in some of the previous questions, and “flip” across the line
6:14 I sat here 2 minutes thinking why the fuck they added 2nd row and I thought I must've missed something
32 is way too complicated
I did the test. Got to question 30. Scored 107 which is meh but at least I got above average I guess...
i was thinking in horizontal lines, not vertical throughout the whole test, and somehow i managed to find pattern when was thinking not even in right orientation but it last only to 30rd)
no, even 29th
Same. It reminds me of the riddle of the scorpion, sheep, and hay where it's difficult to figure out unless you are told you can exchange items on shore to bring one back in order to do multiple trips. I tried to solve each horizontally and got stuck once they changed to vertical and the instructions on the test don't indicate you can switch up like that. I guess the higher IQs know to switch in order to find patterns. I wonder if more people would have slightly higher IQ simply if they knew they could look for patterns in either direciton.
32 is nonsense. it cannot be worth.
I.Q test: >>>>bias?
I got an embarrassingly low score on this test, I feel so stupid. I want to die lol
I scored 107, but I didn't even complete question 29. I wasn't so focused, so maybe I could have had a result above 110, which is just a bit above average.
i gave it just for fun and submitted i like 10 minutes, got 121, im so smart
I have got 135
i answered the first 15 right but my time was over lol. for this test my iq is only 90 or something.
@@pedrovsn Same, the people bragging saying they got to question 30 in less then 25 minutes are full of shit. 99.9 percent of people in the world will not make it past 20 without going into it knowing the algorithm. The video itself is 16 minutes long just explaining how to do it. Almost all if not all IQ test online are inaccurate because of how skewed the results are from people cheating.
Solved most up till 28 then got tired 😅😅
Why I can do all mensa test but I can't understand 29 and 33??
29 you just make them drop and eliminate the ones in different sides that are equal! 33 I have no idea! lol
@@MagiadosLivrinhos but on the second row of the third column, the black boxes are not standing equally to each other to subtract them..
Is pattern recognition the be all end all of intelligence? ? ?
No ofc not, IQ can’t determine intelligence as well as popular belief might have you believe. It’s mostly used to determine if you have some mental disability, as long as you score within 85-135 you can’t really tell if someone is very intelligent or not. It’s only if you score below 80 or 85 it should be a concern and likely you have some disability. If you score over 145 then you are ’’probably’’ gifted or just VERY good at puzzles. Either way, IQ is not a great measure of human intelligence, it's only used as a tool in some areas of psychology.
The reason mathematicians, physicists, and chess players usually score higher than lawyers, philosophers, writers, etc on an IQ test (on average) not because they are smarter, but because they have been more exposed to puzzle and matrix-like activities in their everyday life, not because they are more ’’intelligent’’ than the rest.
I’m a life long chess player and have scored 135-140 on every iq test I have done in my life (both irl and mensa internet) and the reason I could score so high is because I do both puzzles in my free time and because chess is pattern recognition. This does not make me more intelligent than ’’99.9%’’ of the population as some people like to claim. I wouldn't say I’m dumb, but I’m definitely not near the ‘’genius’’ level as IQ tests would like to claim.
@@redsusas00 all that lawyers philosophists and writers do is yap. Yap in the court room, in their mind and on a piece of paper respectively. Thats why they score low iq, yapping isnt hard. Maths physics and actual games on the other hand are. Also being a lawyer is very easy. U just have to be good at remembering things (law). Everyone with good memory can be a bad lawyer.
I keep getting fucked over as I keep trying to read patterns only horizontally than vertically
wtf question 8? I would have never figured it out. Not in a 100 years
qs 32 onwards is a mess its too long of patterns lol i had like 10 minutes still but i had to skip them all they too hard for me
32 makes no sense at all, there has to be a better explanation.
My thought process was to follow the position of the unsquared dot and i got the right answer. 1st row right down right down right up; second left down left down left up; right up right up right down, and the only answer was A with that position. I looked at the squares as a distraction, not a pattern. Hope I helped you.
how do we know if we have to look at it vertically or horizontally when both of them make sense.. ?
@@layerity At first you really don't know, until you begin to search for the solution, basically luck.

High Finnish IQ in action lol
is this test really accurate? i got a result of 131 but i know that im a slow learner. i do work a lot with charts and patterns for years maybe that helps me but for example if i read something i really have to focus bc my mind keeps drifting off
maybe you have high iq but low conscientiousness, maybe even adhd or something idk, could be a slow learner because you find it hard to focus, just an idea.
this test is mostly logic, id say the purest type of intelligence, but its not the only one and its not necessarily the most valuable in society, one that i lack is working/sequential memory (ability to have complex thoughts without losing track)
@user-ir7qs3oe9e i share the same thing. I can have a line of thoughts that end up with a conclusion. I can know the conclusion but i will lose the process. I then have to go all over again or go backwards from my conclusion. The issue is that sometimes it takes me a lot of "wandering" to get there so i dont know if i can get there again. Or sometimes i have these key moments but the fade away.... anyway. Thanks for the insight, makes sense
@@lovelaugh7299 yep, nothing/drawing things down while thinking them helps a bit :))
33 for me made no sense so i just guessed
Yo pensé que era el patrón basado en la del centro, si te fijas desde abajo a la izquierda y llegas arriba la derecha vas a ver como se añaden triángulos oscuros.
Pero en realidad no funciona así, sucede el triángulo sombreado de arriba a la izquierda se fusiona con el triángulo de abajo que se ve en la casilla de la izquierda en el medio y luego vuelve a salir en la casilla de arriba, la que está encima de la casilla del centro, abajo el patrón es el mismo, solo que aplicas descarte con las opciones, y la única que permite la fusion es la última opción
while some of the explanations are good, some are either overly complicated or are poorly explained by the style of animation you chose. you should align things better, it looks like a wonky powerpoint presentation
sorry to be negative
Got too bored with the repetition to continue after about ten of them. But very interesting presentation!
To me number 23 explanation makes no sense, how does taking 2 squares that are not even next to each others and finding an oddity occurrence and deciding its a pattern make any sense ?
Imagine the problem like
1.1-2.1-3.1
2.2-3.2-1.2
3.3-1.3-2.3
Now imagine it again like
3.1-3.2-3.3
1.1-1.2-1.3
2.1-2.2-2.3
And voilá you can easily see the answer.
It is always amazing how many different logic can lead to the same correct answer even in such a simple problems
think about it this way: if theres only 1 triangle in one row, its always in the same position. (top row always right, middle row always middle) And the triangles that are alone per row are always different colour. So the triangle in the last has to be left and it has to be black, so its gotta be the last answer
This puzzle reminded me of Sudoku, where you have to look at the frequency of items and their combinations in a scope of a row\column\single square.
Here, for instance, we clearly see that each square has to contain a black circle (BC). And in a scope of a single column of 3 squares BC-s are placed differently - it's left, middle or right, therefore we need to place BC in the middle.
Then we look at the frequency of another item - black triangle (BT), and find out that BT should appear only once in each row or column. Therefore we need to place a BT in the last square, but where exactly - left, middle or right?
Here we should look not at the three columns, but at 9 columns (3 square columns consisting of 3 item columns each), and compare the collections of items in these 9 columns. With the placement of the BC we've got 3 item combinations of 2WhiteTriangles+1BC, each in its own square column. Our BT?Actually our BT is a part of BT-WT-BC collection, so it's safe to place it at the left. The last collection is BC-BS-WS, and WS goes to the right => BT-BC-WS combination is the answer.
pls can u detail question 33. liked and subd
Tbh nothing to add really, in the red are a striped/white triangle isn't found, when you copy that rule to the other side, it applies,
meaning the answer doesn't contain that shape in that area, leaving only one option in the end out of the possible options..
It works completely, but it's kind of a strange solution.
on #33 it's about the diagonals. You understand 33 better after having solved #34. When two of the flaps are open, the striped covers the other, with right upwards covering right downwards first. If none of the flaps are open, the white triangle will switch line. After this, the striped triangle will switch line. The pattern that connects to the bottom right is 1 top middle picture, 2 middle left picture (3 is of course bottom right picture). So going from 1-2 striped top right triangle covers bottom right which then when going from 2-3 the white triangle will switch. This is the pattern you will see much more clearly after having done #34.
A lot of these solutions are stupid and have easier answers.
I get answer d to puzzle 14 . How you know all ur answers are right???!!?
Because answer d would imply the repetition of the top left figure, and no other figure is repeated. It is always the same 3 shapes with alternating bars.
Last one is just stupid. Coming up with rules out of thin air, this way you can come up with unlimited amount of rules for unlimited amount of answers
well, official iq test
29th ala tetris is imo the least logical one
I got it by adding them(white and black separately) if they are on the same side of the bar, and subtracting if they are on opposite sides
I got only 33rd one wrong... 🤯
