How to Pass an IQ Test: Top 5 Questions Solved & Explained!

IQ tests are used to assess cognitive abilities, including problem-solving, logical reasoning, and analytical skills. These tests help determine how well candidates can think critically and handle complex tasks, which are essential for many job roles. By evaluating IQ, employers can identify individuals with high potential and the intellectual capacity to succeed in demanding positions.

An IQ test for employment is a type of psychometric assessment used by employers to measure a candidate's cognitive abilities and problem-solving skills. IQ stands for "intelligence quotient," and the test aims to provide an estimate of a person's general intelligence.

In an employment context, IQ tests are often used to evaluate a candidate's potential to learn, adapt, and perform well in the job role. They can be a part of the pre-employment screening process, especially for positions that require strong analytical, logical, and critical thinking skills.

IQ tests typically consist of a series of standardized questions that assess various cognitive abilities, including verbal reasoning, numerical reasoning, logical thinking, spatial visualization, and pattern recognition. The questions may be presented in different formats, such as multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blank, or completing sequences.

Candidates are usually required to complete the test within a specified time frame, and their scores are compared to the average score of the general population of similar age groups. The results provide employers with insights into a candidate's intellectual abilities and their potential fit for the job.

I’ve learned a long time ago that the important factor to doing well on a test is knowing how the test creator thinks not actually the “correct” answer.

[artjomeniko]

4:48 I personally think, that, apart from the corner triangles, the circles do have a pattern: in the A, B and C - the colors of the bigger (pacman-)circle and the small circle are opposite, while their colors in D are the same. 💡💡💡

[AbdulWahid-fivs]

Thank you very much Sir.
Once i failed LinkedIn assessment test and then i found your channel .
And it helped to pass LinkedIn assessment test.
And i have done.
I have the test and the credit goes to you.

[jtc]

It is incredible how not wanting to push for that kind of understanding will be considered as a lack of intelligence by many professionals.

[jeremyrusli]

For the 3rd question about the circles, I thought the pacman shaped thing had to be like "eating" the small circle of an opposite colour. For example, a white packman eats a black circle and vice versa. Answer D had a white pacman eating a white circle. So i found the answer to be D

[bezcisla]

For 3rd example i choosen D too, but not by the solution on the video.
I excluded D becouse i counted "black shapes".
A has 3 black shapes (2 triangles and one 3/4 quarter circle)
B has 3 black shapes (same as A)
C has 3 black shapes (2 triangles and one circle)
D has 4 black spahes (4 triangles)

[papaschlumpf]

Well, the circles do have a pattern: The "correct" circles all are different in color, no matter what is what. D has only white circles. So this also leads to the answer: "D is out". (Edit: Oh, I see that others have mentioned that before me)
The problem with such IQ-test-questions is often that the creator has a logical answer in his mind when creating the test but the candidate may be even more intelligent and find a logic or a pattern behind the question that outsmarts the creator. Another example for this:
Odd word out:
Tomato, firefighter car, banana, cherry.
There is more than one solution and none is better or worse than the other.
You can sort out the car, because it is not edible.
But you can also sort out the banana because all the others are red.
So in tests like that you often sort out the candidates that are not too dumb but rather too smart. IQ tests are only as good as the one that made them and the one that checks them.
You could minimize that problem in always asking the candidate to "explain your answer" but I have never seen such a question in an IQ test.

[osheawtf]

Maybe it means I'm dumb but I could argue there are multiple correct answers on questions 3 and 5. For example on question 5, If the florist "has" 77 plants, then he has 77 plants regardless if he sold all but 7. If he "had" 77 plants and sold all but 7 then he would have 7 left. Also, the florist could have 84 plants left since he has 77 plants and sold all but 7 from the previous batch or something. The problem I have with IQ tests is there is not enough context given to the questions and the concept of "out of the box" thinking is thrown out the window because only people who think similarly to the test creator or already know the trick behind the questions will have a good test result

[danmimis]

Q3: the circles also have a pattern: they can't be the same color
Q4: 0 = 0*1; 2 = 1*2; 6 = 2*3; 12 = 3*4; 20 = 4*5; 30 = 5*6; x = 6*7 = 42

[jimsmith]

The circles are also breaking the pattern, just like the triangles. A, B and C have opposite black-white circles, whereas D has two white. Therefore the pattern is broken for D for two reasons.

[henkhu]

Why is it not a good idea to use questions like the first one in an IQ test?

Because you can find a rule for many (in fact infinite many) values for the question mark. In this situation answer A (5) is also correct.

For each row we have the next rule:

0, 03 times the first value plus 0, 55 the second value plus 0, 22 times the third value is equal to the last value in the row.

[kmctt]

this may be wrong, but another pattern I see is 0x1, 1x2, 2x3, 3x4, 4x5, 5x6, 6x7. The current position is multiplied by the value reduced by 1

[shankarmayurie]

Thank you for such a good explanation. It built confidence in me. Thank you sir.

[gargamel]

In 4th question the simplest way is to multiply position by previous starting For 1: 1*0 ; 2: 2x1. 3: 3x2, and we have finaly 7*6 =42

[jaybowling]

For question three, it's alsot the one where both the inner and outer shapes don't vary in color. Quite easy to spot since it conflicts with multiple patterns present in the other three.

[AirCratManG]

What I did in the last problem was to multiply by two, for example 0×2 = 0, 2×1= 2, 2×2= 4 2×3 = 6, 2×4= 8, 2×5= 10, 2×6 = 12 then I added the numbers that I got by multiplying by two that is 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12 and it gave me 42. I think that is another way to solve the problem.

[mitchnn]

If these are the kind of question to test our IQ. Then, to me it is an inaccurate measurement. It test ones visible ability to see pattern, not ability to reason and make sound decision base a given info. If you practice enough of these type of visual question within a day, you can dramatically improve your score . Does that mean you got smarter within that day?

[tharajoseph]

I solved the second question in a different manner,
Taking 1st triangle, 6x2=12, 12+2=14, thus 1, 4 in 2nd triangle. then 4-1=3.
Taking 3rd triangle, 2x3=6, 6+5=11, thus 1, 1 in 4th triangle. Then 1-1=0.

[walnangcheran]

Sir teach us train direction and son daughter age comparison

[zigz]

There is a second pattern in the first question that yields the same answer, but it’s probably just a coincidence. I looked at how the value changes in the rows from left to right:

First row
From 2 to 8 = +6
From 8 to 7 = -1
From 7 to 6 = -1

Second row
From 9 to 5 = -4
From 5 to 9 = +4
From 9 to 5 = -4

Third row
From 9 to 7 = -2
From 7 to 4 = -3
From 4 to X = change from 4 to X

If you form a new matrix consisting of the change between values, you get a 3x3 matrix that looks like this:

+6 -1 -1
-4 +4 -4
-2 -3 X

Where X is the value we’re trying to find.

If you look at the columns of the new matrix we just made, you’ll notice that if you make both the first and the second element of the column negative then add them together, you get the third element in the column:
-6 + 4 = -2
1 + (-4) = -3
If we follow this logic for the next column, we get:
1 + 4 = change from 4 to X, change from 4 to X = 5

Knowing that the value must change by positive 5, we add 4 + 5 to get our final answer X = 9

Again probably just a coincidence, but still cool.
