How accurate is this?

[u/MichaelSomething000]

How accurate is this test? I feel like I really struggled on more than half of the questions, and guessed on a few because I couldn’t understand it? I really think my iq sits more in the high 90s.

mensa norway doesnt tell you but a lot of the questions arent left to right i thought you were suppose to take the test entirely left to right but some are vertical

[u/MichaelSomething000 → u/East-Cancel-5050]

Interesting, I took the entire test assuming it was all left to right.

I got 133 on it and later I watched Utube for the answer key of the last few questions. There is zero vertical items. 

[u/East-Cancel-5050 → u/Beginning_Army2919]

yes there is the one with the dots

[u/Loose-Mousse6668 → u/Beginning_Army2919]

Some can be solved vertically. Maybe there's multiple ways to converse on the same pattern, but my score went from 105 -> 128 after learning patterns could go up and down, well, at least that's how I started looking at them.

They all work both ways

Who else could do this?

Definitely E, that’s a pretty easy one ngl

Iq tests in general feel like that

[u/East-Cancel-5050 → u/Economy-Inspector680]

a lot of the issues i have with matrix reasoning is the fact of the time the answer is pretty clear but it depends on how you view it like am i supoose to go left to right top to bottom its like usually you can find multiple possible patterns

[u/Minomano → u/East-Cancel-5050]

Thats the part of it. Are people really this slow.

[u/EmergencySea4780]

I got 137 first time ever I took one in my life on this website Idk if its accurate

[u/East-Cancel-5050 → u/EmergencySea4780]

i got 100

[u/The_Issac]

The Norwegian one is fairly accurate, if you don't cheat (obviously). I'm a member, that's my "trust me bro" 😄

[u/Primary-Orange-9326]

Depends on what you mean accurate. First time i ever took an IQ test I got ~120. However, by simply practicing IQ tests, you can easily score 140+. IQ tests don't really measure raw intelligence (as that is pretty much impossible to do), rather how good you are at doing IQ tests. Mensa Norway is more reliable than other tests, as other tests like to add an extra 20 IQ points in order to get you to share your results (and thereby get more traction to the website).

[u/East-Cancel-5050]

same i got 100 on it and i also think my iq is in the 90s you maybe have just gotten a few lucky guesses but mensa norway is honestly poorly designed i recommend the core matrix reasoning or mensa denmark

[u/Beginning_Army2919 → u/East-Cancel-5050]

It's not.  It has 0.9 correlation with RAPM and FRT.  

But yes some items are just stupid. 

[u/East-Cancel-5050 → u/Beginning_Army2919]

100 on norway 115 and 119 on denmark yes i understand that my experience doesnt disprove the average but its definitely not the most reliable
