Worried I'm a retard pol

Also diagonally from 10 o clock to 4 o clock

Each row (or column) has exactly one figure with 4, 3 and 2 end points.

In the right column it has the figure with two end points in 4 and with 2, so A is the right answer because you need the figure with 3 points to satisfy both the row and column conditions

>that's obviously a pattern and the one i thought of as well. but how do you know its the pattern theyre looking for?

Because not a single figure is repeated

My instincts say (a)

This is not the 3rd question on an IQ test.

Why not? Is it too difficult to be so early on a test?

Please be kind sir. I have the tism

Charge your fucking phone, Bruce.

Each row and column must have 4, 3, 2. Most just look at rows, but sometimes column pattern matching can make things easier. Anyways, it's A.

>Worried I'm a retard pol

don't feel bad you're a big majority

user, you don't have to be high iq to do this. Go row by row. How many sticks are htere?
4,3,2
3,2,4
2,4,?
Which is missing from row 3? That is in the other two? But not in the third?

Here. If you can answer this you prob have a gifted iq. It was the hardest question

if you have the tism you should've known the answer instantly
you must have the wrong tism
i dunno why these guys are counting the end points or whatever
there's only 3 shapes in the grid and the last row is missing a shape
i wonder which one it could fucking be
i'm gonna pick the dot because there's no other dots in the grid - wrong
im gonna pick the line even though theres one in the first box - wrong
im gonna pick the cross even though theres one in the second box - wrong
must be that shape thats in the other rows but isnt in the last one
must be that y shape

faaaaaaaaaaark

It's (a), the Y shape.
I know this because I have big brains.

Immediately knew it must be A. Its just pattern recognition. Sounds like some people in here need to work on their confidence and decisiveness, if this gave you any pause at-all.

D. the shapes are in diagonal rows and flips the shape each iteration

This.
The idea with these "next element in the sequence" type questions is to infer a function f(X) = y which takes the list of given elements X and spits out the next element Y.
For instance, imagine you have the sequence of numbers
>1,2,4,8,16,...
f(1,2,4,8,16) = 32 would be a reasonable guess, though you can make that more concise by saying
>f(x) = f(x-1) * 2
The "hidden" criterion is that whatever you infer should be "elegant" according to whatever preconception of elegance the test designer had. The answer given by fits the bill, though it wouldn't be the answer for a difficult question, since the function you come up with discards a lot of information (like the angles of the lines) and is small (2 + 3 + 4). A difficult form of a question like this would feature non-discarded information, e.g. you'd have to come up with some scheme where every line rotates independently, and maybe some are mirrored from tile to tile, or appear/disappear. There might also be petty bullshit like having to go by column instead of row, or having to go from right to left. There might also be branching, i.e. in a rotating model, two lines might overlap, appearing as one.
There is necessarily no "correct" answer to questions like these, since there are an infinite number of functions over a finite domain (e.g. you could say f(1,2,4,8,16) = 9263. Why not?). Once you know what transformations can happen, you can also solve these IQ tests programmatically via a standard search algorithm near-instantly. These things, at the end of the day, test little more than your ability to do arithmetic in your head.

It's A because of 4 3 2, but why does the 2 flip 45° and 90°, but the Y, or 3, only flips 180°? Or is that just to fuck with you?

Sure, but a cross flipped is still a +, not a ×

Yeah but that's the fluke way to work it out, just because it's the only shape missing. You should know that each row needs to ad up to 9 like everyone else said. I answered like the way you said but it isn't really a proper explanation so I kind of got it wrong as I didn't think to ad up how many edges on each shape

C. it has two patterns. you only need to know the first

Duh.

Correct. What do you guys do for a living? Just wondering if you have high end or low end occupation and degrees. Because i have a high end degree and suck at these and it drives me nuts
