WARNING to everyone. Do not go to unknown links provided by a new "member" who only has 2 posts.

Really dude? I posted this IQ test because I wanted to see what other people scored on it. I don't know what compelled you to blatently lie and claim that it costs money. I'll report you for being a liar, just to make things fair.

Alright it looks like I got taken to:
https://bostonacademics.com/results3-2/#payment

Instead of:
https://www.brainzilla.com/iq-tests/iqzilla-1/

Ezra would not lie. There is no motive.

Looks like there was some kind of misdirect when I was using my phone.
Now I can not even get the test to come up, just the page I got when I clicked an icon to see my test results.
The test I took was similar but different from the one the OP meant for us to take.

I suck at this sort of IQ test; I doubt I would have scored as much as 100. I didn't bother taking it; it doesn't interest me.

There was no full link in the OP , probably because new members are not allowed to post links. It looks like the OP decided to post an incomplete mickey mouse link to get around new member restrictions - this is where the confusion has arisen.

I have now changed the link in the OP so no more problems arise.

You made 8/38

This inflated my score at such tests (no guessing ave=66 , guessing ave=75) I was not asked for my credit card details .

Well done. Actually impressive.

IQ: 151
IQ Classification: Very Superior

You made 36/38

I'm sure this test is very imprecise it this range.

And I'm sure one of the question does not have the right answer (or I discovered a simple and perfectly fitting pattern the author didn't think of...)

But honestly, this test measures pattern noticing, not intelligance.

Found it rather tedious after the first 15 questions and struggled to stay focused. Ended up with a 140. Lower than my actual IQ results taken so many years ago.

I got 135. I'm tired, though, and guessed on a few.

judging from the scores posted in this thread, perhaps there is some merit to the claim that autists have higher average IQs than NTs after all

1. Selection bias - those who score low are less likely to share their results
2. Is intelligence equal to pattern recognition? Because this is what the test measures.

^^ 3% with an IQ >115 . https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21272389. This is from 2011. There may have been research pointing to more people on the spectrum with higher than average intelligence since then.

I would expect a diagnosis bias here: high IQ autistics can remain undiagnosed for longer because of more coping strategies available to them. It's especially true for girls https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23001766 but I expect the effect to be also present among boys.

sure that's possible, but i'm skeptical of this being the full story. even if 100 people took the test there's more outlier high IQs reported here than you'd expect from a random sample.
moreover there is evidence that genes linked with higher IQ are correlated with genes predisposing one to autism:
https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10 ... 00300/full

as for your second question, I said IQ, not intelligence. though yes, pattern recognition is pretty important and has a high correlation with what's known as the g-factor or general intelligence factor, more so than any other cognitive abilities in fact. see here for more: https://www.psychologytoday.com/intl/bl ... h-patterns
“The best thing we have going for us is our intelligence, especially pattern recognition, sharpened over eons of evolution," (Neil deGrasse Tyson, 2015). Pattern recognition according to IQ test designers is a key determinant of a person’s potential to think logically, verbally, numerically and spatially. Compared to all mental abilities, pattern recognition is said to have the highest correlation with the so-called general intelligence factor (Kurzweil, 2012). The ability to spot existing or emerging patterns is one of the most if not the most critical skill in decision-making, though we’re mostly unaware that we do it all the time (Miemis, 2010)."

It is also reckoned that vocabulary has the greatest correlation with the g factor .

Quote:

Pattern recognition and abstract thinking are no doubt important components of intelligence, but verbal ability is important as well. In fact, verbal ability tests (such as vocabulary tests) are generally stronger predictors of success than pattern recognition and abstract reasoning tests, in part because good verbal ability tests incorporate abstraction in them.

That's interesting, thank you for posting it.
I wonder... in my mother's family, very high intelligence and mental health issues present to some degree in almost everyone, with me being especially high on both. I guess there's a variety of genetic and environmental factors but I've been wondering if the two are connected.

As for pattern recognition and intelligence - probably that's true, recognizing patterns helps with making good choices - but as a person with extremely high pattern recognition scores who cannot learn to drive, I hate it when people assume some overall rank of a person, based on this or that factor. It's awful both ways - unreasonable expectations from one side, condescending and belittleing from the other.
