2. Your mind in numbers

The report opens with seven personal metrics, all calculated from your answers and timings. For this sample taker:

How rare your mind is1 in 7

Only about 1 in 7 people score this high.

Your solver typeStrategist

Slower and accurate. You build the answer step by step and check it before you commit.

First-instinct accuracy94%

Answers you gave in 47 seconds or less were right 94% of the time; slower answers were right 60% of the time. Your first instinct is a strength: trust it.

Focus staminafaded

Measured against what someone at your level would score, your focus faded from the first half of the test to the second.

Second-guessing3 helped · 0 hurt

You changed 4 answers: 3 changes turned a wrong answer right, 0 turned a right answer wrong. Your second look is worth taking.

Reasoning ceilingLevel 4 of 4

You solved at least half of the level 4 puzzles. Puzzles with three rules at once are within your reach.

Hidden strengthLetter series

For your overall level, your strongest ability is letter series (rule tracking and working memory). Where it shows up in daily life: Holding a sequence in mind: following instructions, learning languages, code, music.

4. Every puzzle, explained

All 32 puzzles are replayed with your answer, the correct answer, your time and the rule behind it. Two extracts from this sample:

Puzzle 18 · Number series · level 3 · Missed · 46 s

The puzzle: 4, 12, 17, 51, 56, ?

The rule: The operations take turns: multiply by 3, then add 5.

Puzzle 17 · Pattern matrices · level 3 · Correct · 53 s

The puzzle: a three-by-three grid of shapes with the last tile missing (shown as an image in the report).

The rule: Two rules run at once: every row and column holds each shape once, and every row and column holds each fill once.

5. Your training plan

The report ends with steps for your weakest area. For this sample taker, that area was number series:

  1. Write the gaps between numbers under the series, then the gaps between the gaps.
  2. Test multiply and divide when the gaps grow fast.
  3. Look for two series taking turns when the numbers jump up and down.
