IQ test questions !

[Streetwise]

Ho ok , well maybe i could find that later but atm I have no idea...

I know you cant fail an IQ test but, when you have something to do and you block and have no idea about it, for me this is stressfull and I just feel bad when I fail so this is hard to get my stuff together for the next question.
I am sure I have failed some items like that, because i have failed the last one and for the next i was just not ready to think about anything for minutes.

you don't fail IQ tests, I was given one at a government job centre, what they are trying to understand is could you for instance operating machinery ?be an accountant ,be a doctor ,in this instance they are trying to understand if you are what is called highly intelligent !and I think the system to diagnose autism is flawed ( inaccurate ).
for instance people with autism who aren't savants in art are known to not be able to use colouring pencils or pens or a paint brush and stay with in the line ,we can draw a line we can't just colour with in a line.

You might not be-able to fail a Job Centre IQ test, but you can fail some IQ tests and some employers have their own IQ tests where you have to obtain a fixed score to get to the next stage of the application process. For example, you have to pass an IQ test as part of the application process to become a police officer in the UK. Even though people who do well on IQ tests are normally intelligent, unfortunately there's also some very intelligent people who are poor at IQ tests and this most likely includes a higher proportion of people on the autistic spectrum who often have very narrow interests and skills that they can be amazing good at, while they are below average at most other things. I agree that the way autism is diagnosed is seriously flawed.

I don't know if I failed ,all they said was I was above average intelligence! i've heard of other tests but I know for psychiatry it's not really giving you a percentage which will mean you are in a certain percentile of the population, it's probably to classify you into a certain disorder try to pigeonhole you, psychiatry hasn't changed for hundreds of years un bleep bleep bleep !believable!
