Your not too bad at it if you score this good on mental math scores. Geometry just takes the remembering of rules and basic algebraic knowledge. If I got a B in college geometry I’m sure you could do better with enough practice. That was before my recent psychotic break though so I’m not sure if I could get a B again if I tried myself
For most of you ,with very even VIQ/PIQ, I would recommend trying the adaptive non-verbal test at Mensa Hungary. Mensa IQ teszt use Google Chrome to translate.
The test is adaptive: the next task also depends on the answers given earlier. The order of tasks is thus different for everyone. You will receive up to 25 jobs during filling.
The best IQ score on the test is “above 125”.

Unfortunately no. My spatial ability has always been poor/very poor.
The results were supportive of previous research in this area. Learners with low spatial abilities are more challenged geometry learners.

Makes it challenging perhaps but not impossible. I am not too good spatially ether.
Have you ever thought of trying computer algorithm challenges? Most are unrelated to geometry but are related to mathematical and logical reasoning. You just need to practice the fundamentals of programming for a month or two then you are ready for the challenges. I just bring it up since you seem to like tests of cognitive ability

Over the years I’ve made occasional stabs at trying to understand computer programming a little and got absolutely nowhere. It’s just something I have no aptitude for.
I did a search and found this which may be of interest to some of you. https://medium.freecodecamp.org/the-10-most-popular-coding-challenge-websites-of-2016-fb8a5672d22f

That’s a good link. I’m familiar with quite a few of them. I’m decent at programming but I wish I had your capacity at mental math. It would help me on algorithmic challenges and in my studies
I just took the link and got from 118 to 134. I hope it can improve if I practice. It says I can be a programmer which is good. That’s what I wanna be

Now that’s a real IQ test haha. I’ll try again tomorrow. It looks pretty hard. Need some rest and focus to do that one.
I do feel the test I posted is very time pressurised. 14.4 seconds per question isn’t a lot. It was very surprising given my usually slow processing speed that I was able to answer enough to get 22 right.
It is not unusual for people who are gifted to have slow processing speed.

Hey. You did great.
My sister got about a 760 out of 800 in math on her SATs. I got mostly upper 600’s on my SATs except for the history subject test where I got in the 700s. The counselor said my SAT scores were low compared to my gpa. My sister is also my identical twin but is right handed whereas I’m left handed. She’s always been smarter than me at everything.

Is she schizophrenic too? I always thought lefties were interesting. I’m a lefty.
She is also but doesn’t have the diagnosis. She has it too but much much less severely than I do. I’m on 6 my vraylar daily whereas she is on 5 mg abilify a day

Wow. Really interesting. Thanks.

I’m a lefty too.
Ya. We’re a unique bunch. We’re more likely to fall on the extreme ends of intelligence, and more likely to be sick. Just eyeballing it, I see a lot of lefties in the mental hospitals. Way more than what the statistics say. I think Yale did a study on it.
I read like 90 pages of John Nash’s bio and it said in there that he leaned towards using his left hand, but that his father made him use his right hand, which was a common practice back then.
I did not know that about him. I thought it was cool.
I got 72% high average to gifted. That is without knowing my decimals. If I knew my decimals it would have been higher. Maybe just maybe I’m not as stupid as I think.

Considering I dropped out after a quarter of 9th grad it’s not too bad. Now that I’ve taken it and know what to expect I’m sure I could get a 90%.
My daughter is a lefty. She’s showing traits of genius. I’m bias though.

I’m sure if you took it again, you could get a higher score. There’s no limit.
