I have been killing myself with this so-called “intelligence test” over the past few days. I’ve also just started its brother-in-frustration.
I’ve only gotten 23 of 33 on the first test so far, but my feelings about it exactly match those of my obviously smarter friend Cliff, who said: “Okay, I’ve got 27/33 so far. But I feel just as stupid as when I started! Still haven’t given up on the last 6, though. It’s funny: you can stare at some of these for a long time getting nowhere, and then suddenly it’s obvious.”
Exactly! I think the test requires some unusual and difficult methods of scanning one’s memory, since we generally don’t store anything by the inessential of number.
