Just finished it. It started getting really hard half way through. I'm ashamed to say my score was a pathetic 103.
Did you do it?

Mjølner,
I've really enjoyed doing these tests! Have you got anymore?

I think I have seen it before... the background picture is distracting me from starting it again...

Oh and I completely agree with Natalie for a visual test especially having a distracting ticking clock visible seems very silly indeed!

130, in spite of attempts by the other half to talk to me constantly... I sometimes score this high in more mixed IQ tests but find these visual ones much more engaging.

I think this was the one I showed to Neotic in another IQ related thread. I didn't mind the timer when I did some years ago and got 124. 40 minutes is plenty of time.
The more time you use at this test the more points you get apparently when my class at school did that test.

It is "normal" to have lower visual/spatial IQ than overall IQ in AS, at last there is a trend towards that, with the verbal IQ much higher usually.

Yep, that must be where I had remembered it from 
The timer didn't bother me either and the background stopped distracting as soon as started

I know that when I go to a specific, professional-looking room and I'm thinking "OK, I'm here to concentrate and take a test", I will do a lot better than when I'm sitting in my dorm and thinking "Yeah, I'm bored so I'm going to take an online IQ test right now".
True especially if you're in a distraction-free environment as opposed to your dorm room which you probably associate with all sorts of non-concentration stuff too.

For 38- The answer I put for this, looking again, was wrong. I have no clue how to work this one, but the answer is F.
The left corner figures are the same shape (rectangle), and the right corner figures are also the same shape (square).
The orientation of the arrows between two figures shows the way the orientation of the sides of the shape changes between the two figures. (So the ones that are parallel, the orientation remains the same. The ones that slant, the orientation changes to that degree.)
Double-arrows means the shape is flipped over as well (which is why the answer is not D).

And I got a "149" on that TestCafe one, so I think it's just one of those tests that flatters you to convince you to buy the "report".
If so, I don't want to know what my actual score on it would be. (I tried several times last night and was scoring pretty low, but I wasn't feeling too well at the time.)

Natalie,
Did you put the picture up for number 39?
If you did, could you put number 38 and or 34, so we can try and figure them out together?
Also how come people are saying they looked at the answer. I couldn't find anywhere where you could view the answers.

I showed how to do 38 but I put a spoiler on it. Someone else already had showed 34 I think.

I was discussing this test with my daughter today, and she said the reason I probably only got average was that it was visually based, rather than the written word. I had to agree; thanks to my hyperlexia, I never have any problems with written logic puzzles ie:"All socks arefrogs and all frogs have four beaks; also some lights can cook and all that can cook have four beaks, and some frogs squeak. All socks are lights, therefore some lights squeak." True or false? (It's true, btw, in case anybody has a problem with it!)
But the visually-based puzzles I have to take longer over. It's lucky the test wasn't maths or numbers based, or I would have gotten an IQ reading lower than George Bush!

I was almost the exact opposite between those two tests. I got 133 on the visual one and 59 on the verbal one (although I think I would've gotten higher on the verbal one if I'd been feeling better, but still it would've been nowhere near my score on the one that was visual patterns). Didn't do the Spanish one because grids of that size and color give me migraines.
Those "If ____ are _____ and then ______ are ______ then how do ______ fit into ____" things are really hard for me, despite the fact that the reasoning isn't as hard as juggling all the words in my head.
The ones I did well at on the heavy-on-verbal-crap one someone posted were the ones that went like (with true/false buttons) "The word "smart" can be created using five letters from the word "barnstorm".", or "The digits 08232569 are the same as 96523208 read backwards." Those were easy, then there were a few I could do with effort, and the rest just stalled my brain. Even though I'm certain again that I can reason better than the tests make out, I just have trouble shoving in all those words and handling them at the same time as thinking (and on-purpose thinking at that).
And I'm actually hyperlexic too. Hmm.
