"12 Pillars of Wisdom" test

[Potjeh]

You got a negative score at mental rotation

They do ask a lot of personal questions at the end for anyone that hasn't taken it...

Yea, some others complained about that one to. I think you can skip those if you just log off at that point, and than log back in.

I hate that freaking clock. It compels me to take a guess before I've fully analysed the problem, which really backfired on deductive reasoning (I had -3 at one point). I swear, yesterday I got double this score on that test. Seriously, why can't they make it all lives based instead of using this god damned clock?

Oh, and I find it odd that the verbal working memory average score is so low. It might be different elsewhere, but over here phone numbers are 9 digits with area/network code, so I thought most people would be able to memorize 9 numbers.

ooo you guys are posting some good scores - all the smart ones are gamers huh, it did have a question in there too about gaming (mine did)
ya, phone numbers I'm always good at remembering that's how I associated it too - having 10-key by touch can speed up responses vs hen pecking on the keyboard I'd imagine too
we are only 7 numbers tho here - i did like that tip it gave at the end about chunking but the phone number idea is good too because it's a rhythm - dun dun dun.... dun dun...dun dun

I challenge you all to beat my score on Feature Match: 841. I'm the Marius on the highscore list.

Edit:
Oh, and of course my first try scores:

Code: Select all

12      14.0    6.7     1.2%    Spatial working memory

Responses to the outliers:
Deductive reasoning: imo I'm actually very good at deductive reasoning. But that test is such BS on high 'difficulties'. ambiguous, or just plain non-sensical...
Verbal working memory: I kind of forgot to apply any sensible strategy besides just repeating it in my head. Could've had more, but the readout was too slow.
Paired associates: iunno.

The test I scored the highscore on after retrying a few times is test 7. I have to mention though, I did use a technique for getting the highscore.

Edit2: Loftar, you got a 3.8% on deductive reasoning... could you do an explanation of what I'm doing wrong? Or maybe a few examples? I'm kind of curious...

[pordle]

Ugh, went back to redo my test and it doesn't know my email, says no account. How could they just "lose" an account, was it really that bad to purge it lol

[Mqrius]

Did you get a confirmation email from them?
