Test Your IQ with 3 Questions 1

IQ tests have become a popular way to compare oneself to others and determine one’s intelligence level. The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) is considered the world’s shortest IQ test as it only consists of three questions. The CRT assesses one’s ability to recognize that simple problems can be more complex than they appear. The three questions involve finding the cost of a bat and ball, the time it takes for machines to make widgets, and how long it takes for a patch of lily pads to cover half of a lake. The answers that most people guess for these questions are incorrect, with only 48 percent of MIT students answering all three correctly. Although the CRT has its limitations, it provides a quick and simple measure of one’s average intelligence level.

IQ tests are a great way to measure how intelligent one is compared to others. The Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) is a three-question test that is the world’s shortest IQ test. It evaluates how people can identify that a simple problem may actually be more complicated than it appears. The faster someone can do this, the more intelligent they seem.

The CRT is composed of three questions. The first one asks about the cost of a bat and a ball that cost £1.10 in total, with the bat costing £1.00 more than the ball. The second question is about how long it would take for 100 machines to make 100 widgets, given that five machines can make five widgets in five minutes. The third question is about how many days it would take for a patch of lily pads to cover half of a lake, given that the patch doubles in size each day and it takes 48 days to cover the whole lake.

Surprisingly, the answers that most people guess, which are 10 pence for the first question, 100 minutes for the second question, and 24 days for the third question, are all incorrect. The correct answers are actually 5 pence, 5 minutes, and 47 days, respectively.

In a survey of nearly 3,500 individuals, 33 percent answered all three questions incorrectly, and 83 percent missed at least one. Although the CRT has its limitations, such as its brevity and lack of variation in verbal and non-verbal reasoning, only 48 percent of MIT students who participated in the test were able to answer all three questions correctly.

In conclusion, the Cognitive Reflection Test is a quick and straightforward method to determine one’s average intelligence. Even though it is not a comprehensive measure of one’s intelligence, it provides a good starting point for people who want to know how they compare to others.
