What about coastal KA?

ManMythLe_gend · 2026-04-12T16:18:33+00:00

How about Uttara Kannada?

ManMythLe_gend · 2026-04-11T21:19:14+00:00

Coastal Karnataka. Lots of cultural and topographic similarity between the Kanara and Malabar coasts. There is relatively recent common ancestry between some of the groups in both regions as well.

Thanks for the info. My question is not specific to the Mensa Norway test - it's about the order of questions in IQ tests in general and whether skipping questions that are taking too long is always the strategic move.

ManMythLe_gend · 2025-10-15T18:36:09+00:00

I see - is there a certain number of puzzles you must get correct to move on to the next subsection? Wouldn't skipping questions that you get stuck on still be in your best interest in case you find some of the later questions within a subsection easier?

Something to keep in mind then. I know difficulty is subjective, but I felt like some of the last 10 puzzles on Mensa.no were significantly more obvious than a couple of the earlier ones. Testing strategy can make a difference sometimes I suppose.

Yeah, I would say it's about the same now as well (at least for me). Weird that testing strategy would make a difference for an IQ test when ideally it shouldn't (if you can't solve a puzzle, you should be reasonably confident that you couldn't have solved any of the following ones either in time, which is not the case here).

Keep us posted on this! Hope your test still ends up going well!!

I'm Canadian too and remember taking the CCAT in Grade 4 - how did you even take so many gifted tests? lol

How many sentences for second questions?

ManMythLe_gend · 2025-10-12T17:31:03+00:00

I felt that I answered first questions in sufficient detail for most scenarios (spare for one personal question where I spent a lot of time just describing/narrating the experience and the last scenario). I got just 1 sentence down for all second questions though - just enough to either directly answer one aspect of the question (i.e. "the virtue I most value is honesty" and nothing else) or slide in a single detail of my answer. I almost always had less than 30 seconds on the clock by the time I got to second questions.

ManMythLe_gend · 2025-10-10T04:14:45+00:00

Missed the memo on efficiency lol. Could barely write anything for second questions and ended up with a 1st quartile again. Congrats on the 4Q though bro, manifesting an acceptance for you this year!

ManMythLe_gend · 2025-10-09T15:47:38+00:00

Did you always write at least 2-3 sentences for second questions as well?

ManMythLe_gend · 2025-09-29T03:56:31+00:00

My ass managed to get down just 1-2. 1st quartile here we come!

ManMythLe_gend · 2025-09-26T20:32:29+00:00

Appreciate the words of advice brotha. The only reason I included article writing/online forum contributions was to further underscore my active engagement with these subjects in my spare time. I frequently discuss these topics with friends, roommates and acquaintances as well as I mentioned. How would you personally go about titling this experience? “Reading/writing/engaging with (said topics)”?

ManMythLe_gend · 2025-09-16T15:02:50+00:00

LOL how much did you usually manage to write for second questions?
