"Observation without theory is blind" Kant
ЭиІGМΑT (form I) is a logical test that uses a novel symbolic language of geometric transforms. Deductive logic is projected through spatial forms on a 2D Cartesian plane. The test is intended to measure several factors: the ability to learn from specific information, the exercise of observation, and the employment of analytical thinking power through deductive logic.
Through sequences of symbolic operators you should graphically represent in the Cartesian plane the encrypted information. Geometric forms are always very simple and easy to draw: circles, squares, triangles, etc. The test is divided into 5 parts which are each otherwise referred to as a "level" and must be executed in strict sequence. At the first level are the basic operators (denoted in red), e.g., rotation, displacement, etc. In some cases one must seek the meaning of the symbolically expressed operators which may be very simple in nature or in other cases require one to focus a great deal of concentration and analysis. The following levels extend this symbolism with the addition of new more complex operators and other auxiliary effects from these operators. Finally, in the fifth level the process is reversed, i.e., for Level 5 one must write the corresponding sequence of operators given the geometric forms presented.Score of the test:
In the first 4 levels, each item correctly answered contributes one (1) raw point to the final score.
The number of operators used to resolve the item is important in the fifth level. Auxiliary operators are not accounted for. The "standard" answer is a minimal, but perhaps not the most optimal, answer.Level 5 Scoring:
number of operators used -1 S +1 +2 >2 points towards final score 4 3 2 1 0 S=Standard answer
Thus, if one (correctly) provides an answer with the total number of operators being one more than the standard answer, then the score for that item is two (2) points; and if one provides an answer with the total number of operators being one less than the standard answer, then the score for that item is four (4) points.
As mentioned above, one must progress from the bottommost level and proceed to the next level. If fewer than 50% of the items for a level are correct, then the rest of items will not be corrected in the following levels. One must learn continually throughout the test as a whole.Instructions for taking this test:
You must answer all the items (incorrect answers are not penalized).
Once you have completed the test, you are required to email only the two (2) answer sheets (together with the completed IQform and identity verification) to hiqland@gmail.com, or print them on paper and send them via postal mail to:
ENIGMAT
Apdo. Correos 1877
07001 Palma de Mallorca
Baleares
SPAINThe test is currently free of charge.
Only one attempt is allowed.
In a few days you will receive the reported score that you have obtained.
There is no time limit for this test, but it is highly recommended to devote a minimum of 6 hours to complete it.
It is not necessary to use drawing software; if you prefer, you can draw and write the figures and symbols by hand!
Please, do not talk about the items in public forums or with other persons.
After the first twenty submissions, a preliminary norming will be issued and the test will have a fee of 20 €.
Note: This is the Form I of the test. Later Form II will be published with advanced editing in 2D and 3D representation.
