TEST TAKING INFORMATION
strictly applied since 07/11/10

FEE: All tests (except Symbolic, Unipictogram, Enigmat, Insight!, Spatial calculus and ZNT form II) require a fee of €10 or $15 per submission. Only Ergo society members and people who have taken four or more Laurent´s tests are exempt of this requirement.

VERIFICATION OF IDENTITY: Together with the answers to the test, you must attach either a photocopy or scan of 1) your passport or 2) card identity or 3) driving licence. The name, first name, age and nationality must be clearly visible. The remaining data should be masked.
Only Ergo society members and people who have taken four or more Laurent´s tests are exempt of this requirement.

TECHNICAL ISSUES:

For those without much experience with very difficult logic-spatial tests, I recommend that one take those found here in the following order: Simplex, ASIT, LLST, Moriarty, and finally SE4D. Naturally, this criterion isn't absolute, but it is an order founded on my observations of the tests, which are not strictly in accordance with each test's difficulty relative to others.

Each test requires a minimum of 15-20 hours for its resolution.
Your answers must be functional, simple and consistent with the whole of the item.
Your answers must be consistent with the observed nature of the item. Many times people believe that they have successfully responded to an item because their answer simply "completes" the elements that are missing. For example: 1,2,3,?,? a response might be 2,1 taking into account an idea of symmetry. However, this response is not justified because it ignores the apparent increase of +1 within the incomplete sequence.
You must be very observant.
You must think of an objective and consistent manner.
In some item you can find more than one possible alternative. In these cases - and if you want - you can accompany your answer with a brief comment or explanatory graphic.
Wrong answers not subtracted points.
For each test two attempts are allowed (except SE4D, Spatial Calculus, prNt, MCST32 and Enigmat : one attempt).
Please, do not discuss solutions with anyone.
A few days after your answers have been received you will be sent a pdf score report,
indicating your score, IQ standard deviation 15 and the corresponding percentile.

NORM:

Norms of these tests are not final. They are enlarged and developed with each new submission. It is possible that some IQ values of the score list vary by approximately +/- 1 or 2 points. Especially can be affected by these fluctuations the extreme values in the score list.
The IQ assessment of these high range tests are to be understood as a reliable approximation to your real potential ( maximum error 2% up to 4sd, IQ 160 sd15 ) but should not be taken as strictly accurate. If you wish to know your IQ according to stricter standards, I advise you also take some test standardized and supervised by a psychologist specialized in these topics.

SOME PARTICULAR SPECIFICATIONS:

- Spatial calculus:

The first 20 submissions of this test are free!
Afterwards the test will require a fee of 10 € / 15$
No norm is available yet. After the first 15 submissions a first preliminary norm will be published.
Only one attempt is allowed!

- Simplex:

The Balanced score is a simple change of scale for the safety of the test. However, and as a reference you can see:

raw 11 ~ 129 IQsd15 ~ 97.34%
raw 12 ~ 132 IQsd15 ~ 98.35%
raw 31 ~ 175 IQ sd15 ~ 99.99997%

In the same way as in X&Y, on Simplex the items are sorted according to a relative order of increasing difficulty. This order is less strict in the other tests.

- ASIT, LLST, Spatial calculus, prNt and Moriarty:

You just have to send me the answer sheets!

- Moriarty:

It is suggested to print all the sheets in first instance!
This test requires a good dose of divergent thinking.

- prNt, Moriarty, SE4D and X&Y:

No norm is available yet. After the first 20 submissions a first preliminary norm will be published.

- Z-Neuron and SE4D:

The norm of Z-Neuron is purely indicative. These two tests are possibly the most difficult.
SE4D is also free test for SETI members. Only one attempt is allowed!

-PSN:

The grid of the background is formed by unitary cells of dimension 1x1. In some questions it is essential to measure or to compare. Make use of the grid, when you consider it necessary.

P:Q = R:S means "P it is Q, as R it is S"

Some questions require you to justify your answer. If you don't do it, that question won't be corrected.

In the most difficult items, you must deduct correct ideas by the small clues!

-Symbolic:

If you like chess, surely this is your test! Very original. No norm is available yet. This test- game is free. Additional instructions on the web.

-Unipictogram:

A difficult labyrinth you must go in a few hours. This test-game is free. Additional instructions on the web.

 

All these indications are sufficient to take the tests. I will not respond to any question or commentary regarding your own test questions.
