- An IQ test i found while doing some more research on Mensa IQ tests. A bit longer than the Norwegian Mensa IQ test. The Denmark Mensa IQ test contains a bit of repetitiveness but also some unique and fun puzzles.
Link to IQ test: mensa.dk/iqtest
Managed to solve every puzzle.
In this video I go through each of the puzzles and try to explain what the correct answer is and why.
Please let me know in the comments if you find interesting IQ Tests that you want me to check out!

Some solutions outright make no sense. It's just you trying to work around them (for the record I scored 126) .
i guess I'm kinda off topic but does anyone know of a good place to stream new movies online?
@Darian Brandon Lately I have been using Flixzone. You can find it on google :)
All the solutions made sense to me. However for some of the puzzles, my thought process was different but still gave the same answer
Same
@@GowliPlays Same.
puzzle 26 was so tricky i just realized it's composed of 2 clock hands at the 4th and 6th dots and a propeller at the 5th dot which the literal center
I am from Denmark, and recently took this test. 29, 37 and 39 I was not sure about, thanks for going through this.
I was not sure about 37 or 39, also 35 I wasn’t 100% but turns out I got it thankfully, 37 and 39 were so hard
Så er du måske i stand til at forklare 37 for mig? Måden det bliver forklaret på i videoen, forekommer mig noget uklar.
@@VeinyPathwayPassionI'll try to explain 37 16:38
If you remove/ignore all the gray squares you can see how the red and blue squares move (One step to the right or the beginning of the next row)

Then you have to understand what the gray squares do. Every time a colored square is behind a gray square it changes color.
Below I try to show what happens to a blue square as it goes behind 0 to 3 grey squares.
0: Just moves, still blue
🟦🟦
1: Moves behind grey and becomes red, then just moves, still red
🟦⬛🟥
2: Moves behind grey and becomes red, moves behind grey again and becomes blue again, then just moves, still blue

3: Would move behind 3 grey squares and change color 3 times.

Hope this helps 😊
@@elinhulldin5926 Thanks a LOT
I could not solve #35 and #39 on my own. Cudos to you sir, especially #35 was so satisfying so get the answer to, it was so difficult, but soooo beautiful once solved.
(note for self to check understanding)
7:18 , 10:00 , 12:55 , 13:50 (also one stick rotates every time) , 14:20 , 15:39 , 16:23 , 17:20
I solved puzzle 36 correctly following this pattern:
Each colour but gray covers up the space of the square by the amount of their "small squares" inside of them per every horizontally ordered column in this order/amount per bigger square:
1 - 2 - 3
3 - 2 - 2
3 - 1 -1
Great video thanks! Please do more.
Il find some more IQ tests this week :P. Really love the mensa ones and its hard to find similar ones which arent just copies.
Puzzles & Solutions yeah they are fun to solve and you explain well:)
Question no. 36 also has another method to solve , and it solves the question easily by and changing/rotating it. And with every rotate it moves from 1/3➡️2/3➡️3/3 filled colour rectangle. Its also gives A option correct.
Thank you for this! I cannot get your explanation of #31 to work, though. It doesn't seem to apply to row 2. However, if you completely ignore column 1, all 3 figures in column 2 have 2 hemicircles going inwards, connected to two hinges, and if you mirror them outwards, you get the figure in column 3, so still D is the answer.
#38 There are TWO possible answers, both A and C are can be the correct answer.
Because the middle picture is blacked out, it could either be A or C leaving the answer to be either A or C.
Does this mean either are correct or that only one is correct?
At puzzle 37 i clapped my hands for you for 10 minutes, It would be impossible for me to solve it, and i even try quite enough to understand it with your explanation, which I did 100% but thanks to you. I am quite an older guy and a member of mensa in my country, I passed as a member with the second time and marginally. I am not any real genious, just have as a leisure, among many other stuff, puzzles and intelligence tests. You sounds like a bit like Chris Griffin of family guy, just kidding, but with the big exeption that you are a genious in this domain at least. Hats off by me mate
Ayee idk how did i figure it out first time tho but congrats it's kinda hard istg
37 isn’t that hard… all this stuff really requires is logic, really.
@@mastermatheson
You sound like a loser lol
@mastermatheson Then it would be nice with an extensive explanation of 37. Parts of the explanation in the video seem a bit unclear.
Em quanto tempo você percebeu o padrão do problema 39?
#38 gets easier with a diagonal pattern imho. Top-Right to Bot-Left -> the Cols stay the same but the Rows shift one down
Puzzle #20: rotating each colored petal by 3 does not satisfy pictures 3,5,7. But what I noticed is that when adding the petals together on the top-left-bot-right diagonal, each petal position is filled exactly once, which still yields the same answer as in the video.
There are several ways to figure the puzzles before solving them. Since it is often numerical, the maths can be done in different directions.
Puzzle 12 Diagonal top left to bottom right: Each set of lines is rotating at 45 degrees. I suggest the answer is 'C' (not 'H')
#38 have an answer by looking at the rows, they're the same.
If you follow through you exclude all answers with the boxes of the same color, and end up seeing a pattern of 3 blocks, which in the end proceed you to the same answer
By the way at puzzle 31, when i tried the test, before i see the video of course, i manage to find the right answer, but I can not see how your quite simple and proper procedure can be applied in 2nd row, although it fits great in 1st and 3rd, where the answer was. I don't know if this is irrelevant but shouldnt the same pattern applies to all columns, rows or both?
Another approach could be to consider this as a addition/cancellation puzzle where each cell is the sun of adjacent cells
I didn’t read it from left to right on 34, and approached it as addition for all of them. Outward dots seemed to be dominant, so when I added C1 and C2 I had 4 outward dots
for 32 i did it different as well. you can imagine that one of the sticks rotates every time. it is a bit more difficult to imagine but easier to solve if you come up with it.
how did you come up with the answer to 32 as A with your method?
@@ahuman2482 i don't remember
@@ahuman2482 U rotate 1 st down line then upper line.
@@markoteodosin2306 I did it the same way.
It's a tricky one. It took me just over 2 mins to solve. I probably wouldn't have gotten it on an actual timed test
i don't quite get what "points left" means on 36, could you (or someone else) explain please?
great video! thanks a lot.
each square points as follows:
UP ... LEFT ...RIGHT
LEFT ... RIGHT ... UP
RIGHT ... UP ... LEFT
The first square points "up" because all of the colored bars are touching the "bottom" of the square and extend up depending on how long the bars are.
I solved #36 like this: Imagine that grey color is only on top of the real figure. Tha way, you only have 3 color shapes.Following the diagonal pattern, from top right to bottom left its like colors move one place, from bottom to top, and from left to right. Shape #2 is, from bottom to top, Green, Blue, Red. Next figure on the diagonal is RGB. So, figure 9 should be BRG. Giving "A" as the correct answer.
B" is also BRG
@@motivationperception1558 Yes. But the other criteria is the size of the column. It shoulb be one large, one medium, and one small.
I solved nr 28 differently. Each shape (the flower, cross and square) needs to have different 3 different patterns on it (4 dots, circle and yellow x). The only one which doesnt have is the flower, its missing the circle pattern. So that leaves us with answer D.
I pressed e for #39 from a different method I used. Can a question have 2 different answers?
Nope. Only 1 answer is right. This is a giveaway in some tests too, since if you see the same answer printed twice, you know either of them can't be the answer
I still cant understand the solution in the 35 question. You justified the first and the third row but not the second. Please i need a full explanation! Thank you for your time!!
Hey, so the way i imagined it is the second column describes a line of mirroring (or axis of three dimensional rotation).
To find the "line of mirroring" we have two rules:
-The line passes through the center of the square.
-The line passes only through gray area to reach the edge of the square.
In the first picture of the second column the line has to go from top left to bottom right to only pass through gray area.
In the second picture of the second column the line has to go from top middle to bottom middle to only pass through gray area.
(keep in mind that the line has to pass through the middle)
In the third picture of the second column the line has to go from the top right to the bottom left.
There is probably a way better to imagine this puzzle but this was the way i did it and it gave the correct solution.
Just let me know if you are still confused and i'l try to explain it better when i have had some sleep.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions I had a very clear solution when passed this one for the 35th one take the the rule is take the 2nd and do counterclockwise and after that swap the colors from the 1st one that overlapp with the black squares , for example in the last one when you counterclockwise the middle one you get like
B=black , W=white , R=red T =blue ,
| B | W |
| W | B |
and when you swap the black squares from the frist one
| R | T | | W | T |
| W | W | it will go to | W | R |
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions So in puzzle 36, if we had the same rectangles but with the orders permuted, we would have no way of knowing the correct answer?
I'm not sure about 35th question solution. Well I think my solution makes more sense. My solution is you have to assume the dark boxes in the middle box as arrows(you can take arrows head at any of the dark boxes. It won't matter). So after assuming as arrows you have to rotate it to 90 degree. Yes! You will get the last picture . So if I assume the middle third as an arrow and rotate it to 90 degree my answer will be D and yay it does make sense. Also the about the colour as there are two options on the same diagonal A and D you must have noticed that whatever colour is in the first picture gets reversed so our diagonals colour in first is red so it will be blue in third.
Puzzle 26: I solved it differently. I have considered the long center line, and I have seen that this rotates in each row. I / - \ I / etc ... and the small lines next to it follow the same rotation for the neighboring column, as if they were deflected in the same direction.
Wrong explanation.
On 19, how did you know the square should go back to the top when it exited the bottom?
Moving to the right or downwards leads to a rotation of 90 degrees in clockwise direction and the 5/8th picture in the matrix is pointing to the left -> the answer should point upwards.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions What do you mean by "point"? Are you sure we're talking about the same puzzle (19)?
@@amitlevy834 OH MY BAD! I was watching the swedish IQ test puzzle 19.
There is a way better way to view this puzzle.
If you place the pictures in a linear sequence from picture 1 to picture 9 then you can see that the red squares are moving towards the right. When the red squares are in the third column they dont have more posistions towards the right, so instead they reappear in the left most posistion in the row under. This pattern describes every transistion in the entire matrix and the answer :)
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Though I do agree with your answer, this is another puzzle with more than one valid solution 6:32. C is valid as much as B is, as the pattern doesn't indicate if it resets itself, or if the rolling from left to right simply keeps going down till it can't anymore (one could say that it doesn't once go up so it can't be B, yet after scrolling across it does go down if it can); B is nothing but an educated assumption, and since education is knowledge and not intelligence, the puzzle is invalid (assuming B is the intended answer); C is actually more logical than B if you exclude all external knowledge, which is really what pure intelligence is.
@@TheMrTape yeah, I thought C too. I understand how it could be B, but it doesn’t seem to be the simplest answer. The reason I think that, is because we are not given any information that the red squares can reset. Personally, and I am not just saying this because I got it wrong, I think that question should be thrown out.
answer of puzzle 30 can be C also because it can be interpreted as only middle part is downscaling in every photo
I did this test carefully and got 120 + . After having it go right down yesterday I feel better about these tests. Average is a good score, though I have some intellectual pursuits after finding I scored high on these tests a number of years ago.
These puzzles only measure perceptive reasoning in the visual sphere. In the WAIS-IV, there are the verbal that can be assessed, speed and short term memory, motor inhibition (impulse control), above 30 different tests. IQ is much more.
For question 12, why couldn't it be C? From top-left to bottom-right, it is the same no. of lines but rotated by 45 degrees, making it C. I can see how your answer is correct as well. So is there an official one as to which is correct and why?
Somehow there are priorities. Eg. repeating patterns are more important than rotation.
@@arberithaqi Yeah I mean the most prevalent patterns and rules should take priority.
@@JC-sp6ov C has 3 data points. H has 1 data point. If it is really H and specific logic is prioritized depending on prevelance, or if it's an unspecified rule, the test is invalid as it relies on assumed knowledge, rather than the logic derived by intelligence based on the individual puzzle itself and nothing else. Knowledge nor assumed rules are intelligence. The fact alone that several valid solution answers are possible for several puzzles makes the test invalid.
Edit: The official answer is H. The entire test is invalid; several puzzles either have several equally likely answers or their intended answer is one that makes less logical sense than another.
@@TheMrTape What 3 data points does c have? To me its obvious its H. Its a single stick, and its standing up. Now we have a trio of 3 diff numbers of stick. each one of the trio is either vertical, laying down, or in a 9 to 3(clock) position. C doesnt fit in. No row rotate in a way, that would make sence for C to be the answear.
Each amount of lines rotates in a certain direction. Single lines only have one missing direction, and that's the vertical one.
28 has a simpler solution all 6 elements have to appear exactly once in each row leaving only D
Yeah, I think that's the "proper way" to solve these puzzles. I just personally prefer this method of looking on the diagonals :P
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions same
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions bro .I was sure the the rules can apply in rows. if it can apply in diagonals and celoms as well i don't find 95% of this questions even hard. I'm trying to understand the pattern only from rows and that's why i could not solve question 36 because the pattern goes in diagonal. why they don't say that the pattern can go each way?
Puzzle 34 i thought they will cancel only if they are diagonally opposite
I took this test, but I am 14 years old. So, how many points should I add to my 128 result? Please, answer me.
Im not sure, but if I had to guess i would say between 5-7 points
I am just newly 14. I scored 135 on this test. I could answer very in time but the last. It was intended for adults however. DOes this mean my score on this test would be higher than it is?
How many points should be increased if you are under 18 years of age?
Before you even get your result it tells you that you should increase your score slightly. Obviously this is an online test so the results are going to be arbitrary. You probably would score higher, but it's not an official test.
Mensa tests took age into consideration last time I checked when taking the test.
Got 123 on this and I’m a bit surprised. I had no idea how to do the last ones but I tried my best, kind of like educated guesses. How accurate is it?
....please reduce 5 points for your exact resulting...means you're above average...xD
@@anandunambiar1032 Reduce?? This test is generally known to be harder than average, meaning he should ADD 5-10 points depending on age.
@@gerenaleonray No, he actually should REDUCE 3-5 points cuz every test on internet are overestimated
@@palolo381 idk, a lot of people deem this one reliable
I got 123 ( i wouldve gotten 125 i think because i was somewhat distracted while doing it) as well. Initially I just skipped the hard ones but then i tried it again (and made sure the time matched for the ones i got), and i managed to get 32 and 33 right but i ran out of time on the 34. I think you can score higher if you just eliminate all biases, make observations, and then theorize. emphasis on eliminating biases. u gotta have full conscious reasoning instead of relying on ur subconscious to find a pattern (like me).
Are the questions weighted? I made a careless mistake on puzzle #30 then retook the test, answered every question exactly the same and went from a score of 128 to 133.
Puzzle 29: Why rotating? I think it shouldn't be rotated. See the first row. The middle sign is only scaled down and moved to the third picture as the top of the figure. So, if you do the same with the third row, only answer F meets the criteria. Second row is rotated to the left as the middle line is also rotated to the left.
#38 makes no sense as why u took away C, C would be an option later on with A. Thats why the one in the middle is darken out as there will be 2 options that works.
I dont understand #35 - can someone explain?
yes, that is simply as said, the middle one is for the reference reflection process of how the first and third boxes are to be related. you just put symmetry axis along the middle images.
20 there is another simple way.
All the ones with the same shape add up to a covered circle. there is never overlap bw the colors.
#38 is also a horizontal puzzle can be be solved that way
how so?
I found another way to solve puzzle 38, but came to a different conclusion than you. If you look at the diagonals from bottom left to top right, in the pattern A>B>C>A>B, the answer is in the B diagonal. In the B diagonal, every row of colors shifts up a row; therefore: the answer is G.
Yeah there are multiples solutions... It can be C too because it's the only one where colors are never twice at the same place
@@notskyz9602 Thats wrong because the rule goes both horizontal and vertical. It's like a sudoku puzzle, where a number can only be displayed once in all directions. With that rule applied, it can only be A.
Yes! I would say your logic is absolutely correct. But it does also lead to answer A.
Why do you think it's G then??
By the way...
The explanation in the video is way to complicated!
@@Trancecend it's not like Sudoku.
Imagine solving it that way in a real test. It would take hours to get there.
But the answer is still A
The logic is as written here in the comment.
Somehow he gets answer G even though he uses the right logic. At least in my opinion...
You guys are over-complicating it... A is literally the only answer that has colors that don't appear in the same boxes of the rest of the matrix.
#37 "Now, imagine that the two colored tiles in the first picture is the same for all the colors tiles in all the pictures" Eeeeh what???
Can someone explain?
9:05 The • moves a 90 degrees clockwise everytime. When the dot is at the bottom the cirlcle gets dark. Ended up with the same solution.
Puzzle #39 puedo agregar que el ultimo cuadrado de la linea es el primero de la siguiente, rotado 90 grados a la derecha. Saludos y Gracias por los aportes
25... the top left to bottom right diagonal pattern on those puzzles does not hold, if you look at the blue lines and the green lines. if you look at top right to bottom left instead, you can see there is a diagonal pattern of circles alternating black, white, black, white, etc... so C is actually the correct answer.
I also think the logic of the video is wrong, but there is no such pattern for the other diagonal either. the small dot is always changing position following a clockwise rule, and then you could see that when the dot is in the upper half side has one color and the opposite for the background and it changes when it is in the down half part of the circle
@@sebastianmauriciosaraceni1898 there is a pattern for the opposite diagonals in the sense that it alternates between black and white. indeed, there is no pattern for the dot on the diagonal, but not every property needs to follow the same pattern on the same line.
@@33LB thanks for the reply, I'm not able to see the black and white pattern in the diagonals, it start that way but it does not follow it for the entire set. Anyway, I guess that's the fun of this puzzles, there is no one exact way to solve it. 👍
@@sebastianmauriciosaraceni1898 numbering the pictures 1 to 9 from top left to bottom right.
first diagonal- 1 is white, 6 is black, 8 is white
third diagonal- 3 is black, 5 is white, 7 is black
second diagonal- 2 is black, 4 is white, so I think 9 should be black so it follows the pattern of alternating from black to white.
i agree that it's nice different people can find different solutions, but i think the solution in the video is definitely incorrect because the diagonal pattern presented is not consistent across all diagonals.
Bra its f
bro .I was sure the the rules can apply in rows. if it can apply in diagonals and celoms as well i don't find 95% of this questions even hard. I'm trying to understand the pattern only from rows and that's why i could not solve question 36 because the pattern goes in diagonal.

Puzzle 29 is invalid 11:26. It is highly contradictory and B and F are equally likely; I didn't realize the logic you used to get B, but it's as valid as the logic I used to get F. Before I continue, F is the official answer and grants 2 points compared to B. My logic is that the end/sharp points of the top middle pattern, is rotated at the bottom middle so it meets the ends of the middle line, thus the sharp points of the top right pattern lined up with the ends of the middle right pattern yields F. However, this contradicts the logic shown in the left side, in which the edges of the square aren't lined up with the ends of it's middle left modifier pattern, but rather the middle of the square lines are lined up (and this logic applied to the top right pattern isn't a possible answer; it could be argued that it's the middle of the square lines that must line up with the ends of it's modifier because the square is a closed pattern). Both of our answers follows the middle logic but is contradicts the left logic; the left and middle logic are contradictory. The entire test is flawed.
No. Look at the angels. put the middle piece on the bottom of the right piece, and make it same size as the left piece. done. F is twisted a bit too much clockwise
Its like, Picture one dictates what form, X or [ ] , and Size, small or big. Middle dictates angle, and of what curvature the individual parts must be.
What's your source for that F is correct? I doubt that F is the official answer as it is not logical that F can be the correct answer. By all accounts it has to tilt and F does not tilt.
wrong. it is B. the "S" slope is in a different orientation, hence the new shape cant have the same orientation as the big one top right
I answered F too based to the logic that one diagonal line twistes the shape once but another twistes it back.
@@Mark-en3ig Either I did the test in two different browser tabs or I wrote down the answers and replicated, don't remember which, but I chose the same answers for all tests, except for the test that I wanted to get the answer to. F was the one that gave +2 when submitting the test.
So I got 106 on the first attempt after I did a couple of times I scored a 113 is this accurate?
No. You will obviously improve your score by repeating the test several times. You should only take an IQ test once as, with anything, practice makes perfect. However you may do better/worse on different tests. IQ tests can sometimes be constructed very differently to one another, and therefore give differing results depending on what puzzles you personally do better at.
Puzzle 38 and 39 really made me struggle. I never deduced any rhytm or pattern. Puzzle 26 I got wrong as well in my head. I wanted the clock-dials to spin outside of the frames 🙂 I simply could not figure out how the moves were on middle column in third row... even after the explanation I am puzzled on how to get to this result in a similar puzzle... ;-)
Puzzle 36 how's it moving right to left?
You shouldn't be focused on the movement. Here is what i managed to figure out about the movement of the rectangles.
If we look at the top right to bottom left diagonal, there are two three patterns:
1: same direction.
2: swapping of color of rectangles with length long, medium or short in the pattern red -> green -> blue repeating.
3: swapping of color of rectangles in a given position, right, middle or left in the pattern red -> green -> blue repeating.
You could think of this as there has to be one of each color in each position or given length.
For example in the yellow (1, 6, 8) diagonal you could see on the right side there is 1 blue one, 1 green and 1 red rectangle.
if we look at all the long rectangles along the same diagonal we see there is 1 long blue, 1 lonG red and 1 long green.
The "Movement" we see has to for fill those rules, leading to two possibilities:
situation 1:
position of rectangle corresponds to length of rectangle. This is the case of the main diagonal where the position and length of rectangles is fixed. Hopefully its obvious how this for fills both rules quite easily.
situation 2:
shifting of rectangles to right or left along diagonal. Focus on one sized rectangle at the time and we see that the only position which has not been exhausted in the third row will be in the last position it has not been in leading to a shifting pattern.
example:
Red Blue Green
Green Red Blue
Blue Green Red
leads to
(no shift):
Long Medium Short
Long Medium Short
Long Medium Short
or
(left shift):
Long Medium Short
Medium Short Long
Short Long Medium
Just look at the top right to bottom left diagonal in the example and you see how the colors repeat themself in a cyclic manner.
if we imagine a situation where a rectangle is in the same position twice and then move, then we know that these positions have exhausted 2 of their colors each leaving only 1 color possible per position which is identical to what the rectangles need in order to have every 3 color, therefore they have to stay in the same place and its impossible to stay in place for 2 tiles and then move or any permutation of moving and staying still.
Hopefully that makes any sense.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Id read it later but thanks for taking your time and answering the questions man. Much appreciated to you.
@@vidhathshetty3114 No problem, love talking about puzzles anyways :)
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Over-complicating it be like lol. Short explanation: There are three lengths of three colors of books. Each color has a missing length, just examine one color and you'll deduce the amount of answers. Each row has a bookshelf that is vertically flipped :)
Amazing. I failed at some of the last ones and the last one. The last one is very interesting. The diagonal pattern way of solving these puzzles isn't very convincing in my opinion... Specially because you don't have enough "data" to make that prediction in a lot of these. I solved until 133 and 138 without ever identifying a diagonal pattern in any of them...
maybe just accept you aren’t “smart” enough for it. hell, there’s no way i could score high on one of these things, but even i’ll admit they’re all solvable puzzles considering OTHER PEOPLE CAN SOLVE THEM with reasonable explanations
either that, or i’m the moron, which is usually the case in these topics of discussion 😂
In puzzle 14 hint of 3 row must be c + d -2(c intersection d)
Yeah i agree with you, but it would be too much text if i wrote "C + D - 2*intersection(c,d)" or something similar to that (at least on the columns where i have limited text space between columns).
Puzzle 13 has 2 correct responses then. Because you can go clockwise with the blue, and the green one advances clockwise each every second image 2 spots,
In question 29, why is the rotation counter clockwise?
It doesn't matter which way it was rotated, the point of the X is that it's being rotated. There's only one answer that rotates in that way.
In the 33 Puzzle,how it applies on the second row
What do you mean? if you look at the top left to bottom right diagonal you see the way the shapes point repeat (vertically, 45 degrees counterclockwise and horizontally) and on the top right to bottom left diagonal you see the shapes themselves repeat. Look at puzzle 22 for a reference if you did not understand the method.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions Ah yes sorry,i meant puzzle 35
@@prioratodikingsbridge1717 The line which it would mirror would be a vertical line in the second row.
I kind of just assumed in my head when i did this that the line of mirroring had to be extended from the center of the square and from that: we can see how the first picture in a row is mirrored across the line which only contains "gray area" to create the third picture. For the second row, the only direction the line can have is vertical because that is the only direction which only contain gray area.
I think this is the method for solving the puzzle but might be a more reasonable way to solve this. Just to clarify this answer is the correct answer, i tested it after. If you find a better way to derive the answer let me know, i'm curious what the "official way" to solve this puzzle is.
Nr 30 you Got wrong. Scaling Down the figure is correctly a square with a dot, but it is with the square surrounding the figure. So the answer is G and not E
i get 142 on normal Mensa but this test i get 135 why ?
There is always some variation in IQ from test to test, like there might be more puzzles in this one which you cant understand as quickly as the one in the Mensa Norway one. Best way to test for iq is to just take a bunch of "good iq tests" and take the average score of these as a good approximation :P
This "normal mensa" you said is a iq test made with a pyschologist or a official mensa iq test? (Sorry dude, I'm new in that stuff, i don't understand very well)
Mensa tests also measure verbal hability
@@Ikaro_Vincente I'm afraid to disappoint you here, but that's not true for all Mensa tests in every country which I've learned today. I took the German one which lasted for about 1.5 hours and included verbal ability (among other abilities), my friend took the Norwegian one which was only 20 and consisted only of puzzles that were similar to the ones in the video.
I got 124 on the Denmark one and 125 on the Norway one.
I got 138, the 36th and 39th
puzzles were challenging.
I got 133 but I thought that the 37th harder than 36th.
Puzzle 37 is still a questionmark for me. Can anyone explain?
The way I solved it: Look at it from left to right. Each time you move to the right, both the colored dots move one square to the right as well. You can see on picture 3 that after the red dot has hidden itself behind the dark square, it changes color. So, on the second last picture, the square you can see is red. It used to be the blue square trailing behind the other blue square in the picture with two blue squares. The other blue colored square is behind the grey square and will change color in the next one, leaving two red squares, as the visible red square will move to a white square and the hidden blue square will move to a white square and therefore change color to red. F is the correct answer.
Imagine a crab in a prison cell. The crab passes the bars in the jail, leading to certain claws of the crab to omit from view or be revealed. Every single time the crab moves all the way to the right of the jail, it goes to the second floor. Repeat till you reach the bottom floor, and every single time a claw on the crab is omitted it changes color. I hope this helped :)
Please tell me my estimated IQ, I only solved 20 in about 10 min with I think 1 skip and it showed me 102, now I can see that questions above 20 are also not that difficult.
lmao how much did u score
Puzzle 38 - Sudoko principle
Can anyone concisely explain puzzle 39 - I’m confused
Never realized that Puzzle 38 was identical to a Sudoku board.
Puzzle 39.
-every shape moves once towards the right
-every shape changes form (in the way shown in the video)
-shapes in the right most column move outside the picture and reappear on the left most column, but the column is shifted once downwards first.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions at 19:23 -- option G should not even be in the running, the green square in 2nd row 3rd column is repeated. I think your method of elimination wasn't right; you assumed that the black tile is in the 1st row last column, but in fact it is possible for the black tile to be in both the 1st and 2nd rows in the last column as there are 2 unknowns. That's why you had the wrong answer G in the running.
@@PuzzlesAndSolutions The faster way to do it is:
1) Check that each sub-row contains only the combinations of blue/green/cyan OR pink/yellow/red OR black/grey/white. Sort by color schemes.
2) Check for the consecutive appearance of these colors in each sub-row: pink->red, blue->cyan, black->grey will appear twice in each row of the pattern. The general pattern for every sub-row is pink>red>yellow, black>grey>white, blue>cyan>green. In every row of the general pattern/question, there will be at least 2 squares that follow the pink->red, blue->cyan, black->grey pattern, then they will break in the 3rd square.
The answer will still be A, but G will be eliminated in step 1 (cuz its very obviously wrong when you spot the red square amongst the cyan and blue) :)
After elimination i was left with A and C, but took C out because C did not have pink>red.
@@clarissalim1960 Hey, Yeah sorry this video is a bit old. I made this over 1.5 years ago and I think my explanation (and audio) sounds bad. I would probably have explained it better and found a better method now a day.
However tho, I wasn't really thinking about eliminating answers. I was more thinking about finding the 3x3 arrangement of colors that matches the answer. The exact answer. Independent of it being a multiple choice question.
Your method is probably efficient for multiple choice with few options tho.
I was doing a bit of thinking. What if instead of 8 answers, we have all the possible arrangements of the 9 colors. Thats a total of 9!=362880 answers to pick between. Would your method still be more efficient than mine?
i can't understand sometimes my score is 137 and in other tests 140......150 but on this test i had 126 and i'm sure that is more than that
Online tests are always a bit dodgy when it comes to the score. Take it with a grain of salt.
Some tests are better than others. I suggest taking Mensa tests and other more "credible tests" if you want the best approximation of your "real IQ" as possible.
Take all mensa tests and see how you score. This should give you a rough estimate. Focus here lies on rough since they are not as accurate as professionally administered tests. If you want to be certain, take the mensa test officially. Visit the site of your country and contact them. However, every iq test provides a score with a 95% confidence intervall of 10 points to account for daily fluctuations.
Just the first attemp counts
@@noidea3326 I would rather say the 3rd try or thereabouts is the only time that counts. First time you need to get into the understanding of the task so it won"t give the best result. Even several years after I never get the result of the 1st time.
Different IQ tests have different numbers. A 130 might be 98th percentile on one IQ test, but maybe only 90th percentile on another. The percentile is what matters most. Also, I feel like you’d at least need to take 2 IQ tests to get an accurate measure, but that’s just my opinion.
This is not the Dk Mensa test. It’s a fun test-yourself trial similar to the Mensa test.
The video is 4 years old so there ought to be a difference within that timeframe when comparing the 2 together.
What is your IQ since you seem to have almost no problem figuring these out? Great videos btw!
Im not really sure, i havent taken an official test yet. I will most likely take one in the future when the corona situation blows over.

Yeah I scored 142 on Norways test just now
35 actually had one more pattern
honestly if you just used a mouse pointer to explain it would be so much easier than "rows columns 1 2 3, 1 2, 3 up down etc
Your solution for No 20 is inconsistent/unbalanced. On green (/) diagonal with "separated by two" flowers, each flower is rotated 2 steps clockwise (or 1 step counter-clockwise), unlike yellow and red diagonal which are rotated 3 steps clockwise. That makes this diagonal odd one out.
Each color has a flower that has two petals together. You can observe from the other flowers that the missing "kind" of flower always faces the same direction of the one with the two petals together.
@@octave11thpianist58 I think this is a better explanation, but it makes "two coloured petals together" group and "coloured petals separated by one uncoloured" group different from "coloured petals separated by two uncoloured", making this solution unbalanced. Why would we treat them differently?
@@octave11thpianist58 The most logical explanation is that there has to be a balance of coloured petals in each direction. 3 petals pointing directly up, 3 petals pointing 40° cw, 3 petals pointing 80° cw etc.
@@octave11thpianist58 Better still, coloured petals of different colour on the same diagonal should combine to a fully coloured flower. I think that's the best explanation here.
@@ii795 Your observations are definitely sound. There is a number of patterns you can find in a puzzle. That's why you need to simplify things or else you're going to sit for 25 minutes looking for every aspect of the puzzle. In my opinion, it would better be put simply that the puzzle is ordered in the way:
Each flower color type points the same direction in relative to the other flowers within their color group.
You could just use that information to infer the answer rather than writing the degrees to which they turn, they combine to a fully colored, etc. Yeah obviously none of us are wrong though :) this is just the thought process I took because for most of these puzzles you just need 1 or 2 patterns to center on a single answer.
Can anybody explain puzzle no. 37 in easy way
The dots move one space to the right in every picture. The grey square will hide the dot. Once the dot touches the grey square it will change color.
edit: Keep in mind that there are 2 dots in every picture. If you can't see them it's because they are covered by the grey squares.
How much accurate is this test?
According to "internet psychologists" its accurate... I think its acurrate but I have no psychology education.
I got 106 and tbf gave up on the last few and just randomly pressed options...so am I more or less intelligent than the score I got that included some element of random chance? And..
are my suspicions correct and is this test created by teenagers who threw in a few pointless unsolvables just for laughs?
34 can be solved both in columns and rows
Highest I’ve ever scored on this test before seeing this video was 133.
Lowest was 117. (the first time)
I know I’m pretty smart. I’ve heard this test is about 20-30 points off.
@@Ni-Te I don’t know. I looked it up and somewhere people were saying that the test has many points off.
That would make sense since the highest you can score is 145 and not i.e. 180 or something.

If you found a pattern with which every picture makes sense and you got to the right conclusion then it is indeed valid. And yes it is possible however unlikely with very hard puzzles. If you tell us your method, we can check if it indeed works. My guess is that you just took a valid variation of the pattern presented in the video.
Yes, any thought process to it is valid. I just applied some deduction reasoning and then some intuition.
Got 123, pretty good imo considering I’m only 13.
I scored 130 😡. And, how come everyone in comment section has a score of 120 or above. I don't think its accurate.
I got 128 score, but on an IQ test I took in first grade my IQ is 143, did my IQ decrease?
You should probably have your IQ professionally tested to get a more accurate result.
@@spinzbydagamer111 It was administered by professional psychologists, my VQN total was 143, but I got 128 on the Denmark one
@@connerrafferty4773 I know, but I am saying maybe have it professionally tested again instead of just taking an online test.
Real IQ scores usually dont decline, and professionally administered are way better. Many *online* tests are a bit dodgy with their scoring system.
I wouldn't overthink this.
There's a much greater deviation when you're younger. Hence why if you choose your age to be like below 10. The STD's are like 25.
You might have just been lucky on the day with your psychologist. Remember, IQ tests are much more accurate downwards, than upwards. You can't really be unlucky, but your certainly can be lucky.
You should do one when you're 18+ that is administered by a professional (i.e. tell them you scored 142 and take the WAIS test). WAIS is pretty accurate I think.
16:35
I found two solutions on the last one but my way wasn't the one
What was the solution u picked?
you solved puzzle 25 using the wrong logic, if you look closely, you will notice that the pattern you used to determine the end result is false due to it not being true on the third diagonal.
Iit caught my attention as well. How did you solve it? I solve it looking for the small dot turning clockwise, and then, when in the upper half would be black with white background and the opposite when in the downside part.
Nor in the second, if you consider they are the same diagonal. But if you consider them like separate diagonals, each time you move up, the dot rotates 45° clockwise, and every 2 diagonals the colors swap.
Alteranively, you can consider one single path, from left to right first and then from top to bottom, as in the puzzle 26. The pattern is the same , the dot rotates clockwise and the colors swap every two rotations (or depending if the dot is in the top half or bottom half)
@@matteosottana4431 i solved all of them from left to right
I took this test and got an IQ of 123, pretty sure this isn't my actual IQ or maybe it is.
Never took an "actual IQ test" where you get some sort of certification.
I once did another mensa IQ test in the past and got around 104 but never something like 123, weird.
I have taken these test over the years maybe 4 times. I got 104-117 just by guessing, almost picking at random. I don't give much stock in them. And watching this I can see how I was applying the right kind of logic just doing it slightly different; which makes it wrong but correct at the same time. Like I said: these tests doesn't really show anything.
130 IQ
please, have a tic-tac
130. But 131 I could be accepted. :( I need more puzzles.
The legit test is easier so you have a very high chance my friend
just took this one .. failed so badly :D .. 111 IQ haha .. did NOT catch the scaling or the vertical lines. before this video ofc
Tbf 111 is above the global average, so you didn't fail that bad haha
sorry but puzzle 37 is ridiculous. there is NOTHING in those images to indicate the squares disappear at the right, and appear again at the left but one row below.
Still don’t understand 35 and 37, (i got 128)
37 is genius!!
I got 140 struggled at last two 38 39
I don't understand 36 explanation
I got 123 i got same answer like you on some but with different logic
Lol
I didnt quite understand a lot of them

It's Hella weird. When I was 7 I scored 113 on an actual IQ test (wasn't aware of being tested at the time), but on every single mensa online test I score 130+. They gotta be inflating by a lot.
ur probably 130 iq then? , I got 128 at 12 years old on some mensa iq test, now im 19 and get 145+ on almost every test I find. Maybe it's a real thing It doesn't matter to me anyways , doesn't mean anything xd
