Silly stupid intelligence tests. I'm especially not convinced by simple memory exercises like 5 (blinking cubes), 8 (numbers), 10 (Pairs). Especially 5 seemed to be very prone to getting "good sequences" one can remember with memory hooks.

Anyone had a bug with 9? Didn't seem to accept the solution in the very first one.

Does anyone else see the irony in Grilly getting -2.0 for focused attention because he didn't pay attention to what he was supposed to do?

   This test can't be ultimate at all. The real problem of intelligence measurement is conceptualization of intelligence not measuring tools. Although all the measuring tools are best possible ones for the specific working memory tasks and separate from learned knowledge and relatively from culture. There is some evidence of correlation between Working memory and intelligence (afaik IQ) but IQ is a flawed concept anyway. It correlates best with your highschool grades. Also working memory can be improved easily, which kinda undermines its connection with intelligence, one of the subjects almost doubled the amount he can hold in an experiment done in my school. Also all of the tests involve novel information, things that are not related to knowledge. But all of the things we learn in real life involve some form of former knowledge and require you to connect them to each other so probably this test will not be successful in capturing that important element. So people who got low scores shouldbe sad : )
   But it definately looks like a better alternative to IQ tests.

Either Rucious has the memory of a savant, or someone cheated on number 8 :P

Rucious

That's why I'm in one of the wealthy family in Iraq! (I'm good with numbers, so as in financing!)

Narco

You do realise that remembering a series of numbers (24 numbers in a row, in your case) is a completely different skill to being able to manipulate numbers in a mathematical sense, right?

Rucious

Believe me its much harder in business. There is no tolerance in a simple mistake!

Gaeios(Graxlos)

Dont tell me you ever need to remember a 24 digit number in business:P

But its an impressive skill.

Bears like alts!

not that much lol, but I carried some cases that has some special 9 digits in it.(was dangerous and risky to put all the money in your car, and pass through the border between Iraq to Turkey! Turkish soldiers are crazy, and dangerous.)
