Great British Intelligence test

Anyone else done this yet?

I have and now feeling quite stupid 😂

Good fun though

Well at least my attention is on point
I had no idea what to do with the Tower of London

I was a mental rotation whizz, top 10% but completely lacking at understanding verbal analogies 😂. Everything else not too shabby.

Looks like you can have a few goes over time and see if you improve.

I want DH to have a go as he has an amazing capacity for remembering combinations of numbers...

No! I took one look and thought nope not for me!

I did however play a game with my Godson last night and did very well. Forgot what it is called, I think they got it from M&S - had several things - multiple choise (for some reason I cannot spell that word tonight!!)- fact/fiction, hum a tune, who am I and charades. We had a lot of fun , well we would after violet gin, pink gin, red wine and champers!!!!

That was fun but clicked on a few by accident & went terribly wrong for some reason on the humans to apes questions!

I wonder what else it's testing? Racial bias? The question about tech really made me reflect.

Cherrypi I also wondered if it was testing something like racial bias.

Interesting! I didn't understand the first one with the blocks until right at the end. I was surprised I didn't do better at the one where you had to remember a sequence of numbers, as I have to do something similar at work!

That was quite interesting

Crashed at stage 9

Well, it gave me a mental workout and made me feel I haven't entirely wasted NYD slobbing about on the sofa - not entirely. Was pleasantly surprised I did as well as I did - clearly I'm not very good with number sequences or remembering steps in order, I get flustered and panic click. I enjoyed the segments with the blocks and the rotated square patterns.

It's so weird isn't it - really crap mixed with top 5%

Well I wonder if mine is typical of someone with dyspraxia? Spatial stuff and organising has always been an issue for me. I much prefer logic and words.

Top 5% for mental rotation and top 10% for verbal reasoning. Overall did better than I thought, but I was terrible with the attention and emotional parts. I’ve always thought I had no spatial intelligence whatsoever but did okay on that.

I wonder what an expert would make of our results?

Gaaah, I really want to do this but it's running so slowly and giving me bad gateway. Got half way through and don't know if I can face trying again.

Interesting that so many of the posters who shared their results have a high score in mental rotation. Maybe there is a problem with the test because that was the only task didn't seem to become harder over time.

I saw the mental rotation one as a logic problem. The others couldn't possibly have been the answer due to the arrangement of the squares / colours.

Im not going to do this now as am tired after NYE. This is a pointless test as there are many thick people out there who aren't going to touch this

That's how I did the rotation one. I find it almost impossible to mentally rotate shapes and patterns so cheated by seeing which 2 or 3 coloured squares were adjacent in the first pattern and then just looking for that combination in the other patterns.

Not bad. Not helped by my failure to plan ahead... DD kept coming in as she was resisting going to bed, & there's no "pause" button for the test. I did really badly at the mental rotation round, apparently, although I'm not sure why.

I completed it on my laptop, I think they should tell you not to do it on a phone as I think I was quicker at answering with a bigger screen and a mouse than I would have been on my phone.

@AwdBovril no you didn't - you did well at it - better than most people, just not as excellent as your other areas

I got bored. I'm too tired after NY and I can barely read the instructions on my phone. May try tomorrow.

I’m not sure I can read it properly on my phone and my fake nails are hitting whatever keys they like. Too tired to care though 😳

Didn’t almost everyone ace the rotation one (the last one)?
Those type are usually v hard but were definitely easy in this test.

So if the results are based on % how come so many got top 5% for that section.....

Is the % based on those who have actually taken the test so far or what they anticipated the result would be?
