Yes, I told her that, apparently she found a bug in the swf, which she manually decoded and patched. The patched version allowed her to go as high as 150. Should have clarified.

Don't feel so bad, there are many jobs a Math grad student are able to be employed as. Garbage man, store clerk, key cutter, coal mine worker are just a few of the professions you would be able to excel at

I think I'll instead teach your future children maths in such a shitty way that it forces them to become liberal arts students.

I can give hints on problem 39, if you like :-)

this test fucking sucked, i did about the first 20 and realized it wasn't worth the fucking time so i randomly answered the rest. i got a 122 which only goes to show you that a monkey could score as good as a genius on this test. i retook it and clicked random numbers for the entire test and it came up with a 99. come on if your going to post a test on /prog/ at least make it a good one not this shitbag.

It provides a valid and useful measurement, though: anyone who actually clicked and went through with it is a failure.

I'd be interested. I did the test some years ago and thought I had found some pattern to the last ones, but since I got a score like 127 I don't think I was correct.

What kind of a hint are you interested in? I could just tell you the answer, but you could probably solve it yourself if you worked at it in a systematic way.
One approach is to try and think of all the different ways you can turn one 3x3 grid into another, while preserving the property that there are three of each symbol. Then apply your transformations to the grids given in the problem, and search for patterns there.
I didn't actually solve this myself at all; somebody posted the answer on /b/. Now I'm wishing that I hadn't read it, because the problem really isn't that hard when you're not subject to the conditions of the test.

Apparently I have a "mensa level" IQ whatever that means. All I do is sit around and get high all day.

The thing about this test, the same with all tests, is that it is good at measuring people who are willing to take it seriously, however of course it's possible to dick around and still get a high IQ. It doesn't mean the test is flawed, it simply means that you need to grow up

I'm sorry you have the attention span of a mongoloid. Enjoy trolling prog.

So someone who just happens to randomly pick the correct answers proves that the test is flawed? As I said, this isn't the type of test set out on "failing" people. It's meant to be used as a measure of IQ; of your logic deducting and reasoning skills. You'll find that this test in particular is actually quite good and recommended by many institutions.
but then i went to the doctor and he gave me some lovely little white pills; i now spend countless hours studying.
changed my life completely.
you should go see a psychiatrist, he'll probably diagnose you with ADHD or something.
i went to a psychiatrist once... put me on horrible pink pills that made me really aggressive and depressed all the time... and when i decided to quit taking that shit i ended up having a lot more problems... at least the one guy at school who used to beat me up all the time left me alone after i broke his nose, arm, and three of his ribs...
tl;dr: don't do drugs. even if a psychiatrist/doctor/whatever tells you to.
Perhaps I'm not making my point clear. Okay, so let's assume you're sitting in a job interview, and you must take some sort of aptitude test to ascertain whether or not you're suited for the job. If you were able to randomly guess and pass, then that would be an example of a flawed test.
However, this IQ test is not that kind of test. Think of it more like an eye exam. Sure, you could use a pair of binoculars and 'pass' the exam, but it's not going to prove anything, is it? On the other hand, people who take the eye exam seriously, will receive correct results regarding their vision quality.

if you manage to 'pass' an eye exam with your eyes closed, the eye exam is flawed.

I don't understand how this statement relates to the IQ test. Are you saying that you scored high in the test by not answering? Regardless, your point is moot. The test is meant for people willing to take it seriously. That means actually working through each question carefully and applying logical reasoning.
It's irrelevant if people are able to fly through the test and still score high - or in your case not answer at all (?) and still score high.

i answered, i just didn't bother to look at what the answers were before clicking on them.
if you could go into an eye exam with your eyes closed and convince your eye doctor that you have 20/20 vision without opening your eyes at all, would you take that eye doctor seriously?

Yes, because one person being able to somehow pass the exam by fluke does not, nor should it, discredit the eye doctor and his examination. What is important is that the exam -does- work for people who take the exam seriously.

orly?
i was really aggressive and depressed all the time, then my psychiatrist gave me pills and i have never been happier/healthier/and better performing

Medical diagnosis is an art form, not a science. Drugs do not have a uniform effect on people (I'm referring to the general case here). I suspect you were misdiagnosed OR your body didn't respond to the drugs with the desired effect.
