Fun "IQ" test

OK Cupid may be as well known for its tests and quizzes as for its dating/social element. They’ve just posted a new site-created “IQ” test, in which you get to pick the mini-tests you take.

I scored better on spatial than verbal, indicating that this is no more reliable than any other online “IQ” test – but it’s a hell of a lot of fun.

Enjoy!

Spatial 140
Social 133
Math 115
vrebal 105

snicker

That was fun.

Spatial: 145
Verbal: 143
Math: 133
Social: 105

My real-life spatial intelligence is actually pretty bad - I have an awful sense of direction and so on - but I usually do better than I think I will on abstract things like this. I’m surprised it beat my verbal score, though.

I only took one social test (the high-fives one) because it made me, and I pretty much guessed my way through it. But I already knew I was socially inept. :smiley:

First and only try

math: 130
social: 123
spatial: 115
verbal: 113

That’s really dumb because, in reality, while I’m good at simple arithmetic I am poor at math. My verbal skills are actually my strongest area and have been in all forms of standardized testing since I’ve been young.

I also think the smile test in particular is bullcrap because the transition to frowning at the end really throws off judgment.

Tests like this always make me cranky…

Second try

social: 141
math: 134
spatial: 118
verbal: 115

The test doesn’t change enough to warrant repeat performaces though. Oh well. I wanted to try and make a valid average. The test IS fun I grant that.

social 145
spatial 135
verbal 115
math 90

I guess I’m a charming idiot who likes pictures.

Spatial 136
Verbal 104
Social 84
Math 73, which unfortunately I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count up to.

I would have scored better on all points if I weren’t doing this at a public reference desk, but I think the general trend is correct - I like words and pictures, uh-huh, but not so much numbers and people.

I don’t understand why they said that spatial one with “pick the color that doesn’t change” is hard for people. They actually gave me a bonus for it. Who can’t see the color that isn’t changing?

ETA - the results also suggested that I am a stone fox. Thank you, OK Cupid.

Spatial - 145
Verbal - 107
Math - 107
Social - 102

I’m fine with this, however, because “high spatial scorers tend to be significantly more attractive than average”.

It’s your sheepish grin.

Hmm, as a holder of an English degree, I am a bit miffed at my Verbal score, but mostly because it was more of a typing speed test than anything else. Anyway, here’s mine:

Spatial: 145
Social: 117
Verbal: 90
Math: 72

I did pretty badly with both the math and social categories (less than 80 in both), which isn’t surprising given that I’m running on 4 hrs of sleep - sociability has always required a fair bit of effort on my part, as does math. :stuck_out_tongue:

I think I’ll try it again on a full night’s sleep just to see if my results change at all. It’d be interesting to see if they do.

verbal: 113
math: 117
spatial: 136
social: 108

I’m really surprised I got a higher math than I did verbal. I did ridiculously well on my GRE verbal but not so much on my math. As for spatial, those puzzles were definitely the easiest.

Verbal 120
Math 87
Spatial 107
Social 89
I continue in my miscreant ways! :smiley:

Spatial 128
Verbal 112
Social 102
Maths 88

Not that impressive a score compared to other dopers, it would seem. Strange as the blurb after virtually every test I did indicated I had passed it with flying colours (I sucked at the smile video but aced the high five one).

OP back – I should have realized Dopers would want to post scores. In the interest of full disclosure, here are mine:

Verbal: 130
Math: 111
Spatial: 132
Social: 107
Seriously, I think my verbal should be higher. :mad:

verbal: 107
math: 104
spatial: 124
social: 89

I don’t like spatial stuff and usually suck at it. I am surprised that I did so well this time.

Verbal: 99
Math: 128
Spatial: 150
Social: 121

I only took 1 social so that’s probably not too accurate. If this was an actual test I’d be miffed with the math one, oh well.

My scores were abysmal, and I will not be posting them.

That’s what I get for trying to take timed tests while at work.

Verbal: 110
Math: 135
Spatial: 135
Social: 127

I can’t believe my verbal’s that much lower than the rest of my scores. Some pretty fun mini games, though.
