So I decided to take a I.Q test the other day. (Just a stupid Facebook I.Q test) To see how well I'd do, I expected my usual 120-128 score which I always seem to get. So I took it and scored a 122. After I was done, I thought about it and realized my biggest weakness when it comes to these tests is figuring out these types of questions...
What comes next... 1, 3, 4, 7, 11, _
A. 13
B. 15
C. 18
D. 19
Determine the missing number. "Car, Glove, Clock, Sock"..."4, 5, 12, ?"
A. 3
B. 5
C. 7
D. 17
Now I'll be completely honest with all of TL and admit, that I simply have no fucking idea what it is. I Winged it and picked C on the first one, and D on the second question. I don't understand them at all. If anyone could explain it to me in the simplest terms possible that'd be great. (Don't be like "You're a dumbass, is as simple as it can get LOL!!!1") Try to break it down if possible too.
I believe if I can actually 'get' these questions, I'll probably be able to raise my IQ by at least 8 on further tests.

first question is simple
1 and 3 make 4
3 and 4 make 7
4 and 7 make 11
so 11 and 7 must make 18.
not sure on the second one.
|
God thats so simple, I can't believe I didn't see that. I guessed right though, but I don't really consider that 'getting it right'.
|
The first is the previous 2 terms added together, kinda like Fibonacci series. 1+3=4 3+4=7 4+7=11 11+7=18
The second one i think its B. It's a little tricky, but a car has 4 wheels, a glove has 5 places for fingers, a clock has 12 hour cycles, and so i guess a sock houses 5 toes.

^LOL I would have never thought of that.

haha that one is evil, i so would not have gotten that one right away. I was like, counting out letters in each word and the like haha.

second one I would assume is B
car - 4 wheels
glove - 5 fingers
clock - 12 "positions"
sock - 5 toes
first one is kind of obvious

For the first question, the first 2 numbers adds up to the 3rd one, like 1 and 3 adds up to 4, 4 and 7 adds up to 11, so 11, and 7 will add up to 18. Which makes C correct
For the second question, car has 4 wheels, so it is 4
glove has 5 places for fingers so its 5,
Clock has 12 places for arrow to go to
sock has 5 places for toes...
*PS* didn't read above posts..

You guys have socks with individual toes?
|
number two is kind of a stupid question but it is 5

but yeah I didn't understand B but A I remembered from the da vinci code (lol)

I'll post the 3rd question that was in the short test as well.
Complete the series 35, 16, 2.1, 47, 37, __
A. 34
B. 4.2
C. 13
D. 1.04
E. 50
Once again, I don't understand the sequence or relation.
EDIT: These seem pretty funny, most of them appear to be really easy when you break them down. Maybe I think to complex or something retarded.
|
You add up by 1+3, 3+4, 4+7, 7+11
For the second one, yeah its by how many things there are in each item, 4 wheels, 5 fingers, 12 digits, so 5 for socks.
I'm guessing you got the first one right? And I dont know the third one

i found that too, but the questions didn't match?
the second sequence you posted is a fake though (the one with 2.1 in it ) according to a bit of searching 
here's a fun one
1, 2, 3, 4, 9, 8, 15, 14, 5, 6 ?
took me longer than the morris sequence =/

I just took some facebook IQ test because of this blog, must have been a diff one though because i didnt see any of the same questions. 26/30, 11/15 minutes, 136 IQ. Probably bullshit because the test seemed pretty easy and they probably just want you to pay for a report.

That one question is there, so someone took a legitimate quiz, and added that one in at the end to waste time.

tricky. are the primes there as a distraction?
