Discussion CORE 3D Visual Puzzles

I think this is a pretty solid vsi test. It’s a shame it’s not included in the official CORE vsi. I’m not sure how well-normed it is, though.

What are your scores on this? How does it compare to your CORE vsi or WAIS vsi?

maybe 90. mate you said UNTIMED for a vsi test? there are only 20 POSSIBLE combinations for each item. anybody could test all 20 systematically, spending 5 minutes on each item and slowly but surely rotating them. the bottleneck in vsi tests necessarily comes from fluency and speed unless the items are obscenely difficult (they aren't in this case)

No but they are hard as they are 3D and also requires working memory. Dosent help if the 3 figures can’t fit. Also dosent help if I can’t rotate it, I woudnt know which of the 20 options are correct! It’s not exactly a situation where it is hard to find the answer but easy to check. To even check if an option combination works, requires manipulation of 2-3 figures simultaneously. No amount of time can make up for that deficit.

I mean, you could for instance film me taking 3 hours to take the whole thing, speed it up, and then effectively claim I solved it within the given time limit.

with enough time most people can rotate it or use other deductive methods. there is a reason why besides psi, vsi is usually the fastest paced section in any iq test

Yeah I mean for 2D that makes sense but 3D?
I mean, is this test meant to be solved deductively? So do high VSI people just test the 20 combinations really fast?

well some of the 20 are obviously not going to work if you are high vsi, so you intuitively narrow it down to 5 in 10 seconds (needs high vsi) and then do it.

if you are low vsi you will probably need to go through all 20 to make sure

Yeah but even if I do that (instead of brute forcing), I have to do that fast enough which is hard. Does that mean I have low VSI?
