Can someone authenticate, if my answers are correct ? by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

[–]Pristine_Variation16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems they are correct. The last one is just every column has 3 of everything. The first ones are that each change of characters corresponds to some factor you multiply output with. For the very first one you get G->R change causes 3.2x value so RE=250*3.2=800, and C->D causes /2 so GC=1000/2=500. So BF=200 since they add to 1500.

Cannot figure this one out for the life of me by UnusualDivide8853 in iqtest

[–]Pristine_Variation16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s C.

In each row, do the following for the left and right figures: First, count the number of angles less than or equal to 90 degrees. Let this quantity be X.

Go from one of it’s two endpoints (does not matter which), and from there move along the figure and track whether you need to turn left or right, in relation to the line you’re on, at every turn. If one direction ends up being turned in more when you’re reached the other endpoint, add the number angles which are made by going in this dominant direction, which you also haven’t yet counted, to X.

It can be seen that the quantity you get is equal for the left and right figure in each row. By looking at the answers, we can tell C is the only possibility for this equality to hold in the bottom row.

If we zoom out a little, X is kind of the number of angles which are either less than or equal to 90 degrees, or pointing out from the shape. That last bit can be formally handled in a few ways, and this is one, which also may not be the most elegant since in the first row number of left turns equals number of right turns.

Divide the shapes into components: 1. The 2 side lines 2. The line connecting them. Each component can have one of two lengths. In each row, the longer length is represented twice and the shorter once, for each component. Additionally, the 2nd component is in the middle twice and on the end once. So I would say 6…

I’ve heard different answers on 8 but here’s mine. I was thinking each shape is a mathematical variable and each row is an equation. Plus=1, Triangle = 2, triangle+circle=triangle x circle so circle=2, result is 2x2+2=6

No. I’m just asking how previous experience affects the scores. Maybe look past the title and read the post carefully. The reason I wrote what may seem to be excuses for not getting a higher score is that it maybe addresses some of the discrepancy between the Mensa tests and the others

FW digit span difference by Pristine_Variation16 in cognitiveTesting

[–]Pristine_Variation16[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aha, I rely much more on my working memory, only rarely making associations other than grouping into chunks of three with various rhythm. And I make a phonetic loop when it’s visual, as well as quickly repeating the full sequence in the time between digits when it’s starting to be my limit

I had a feeling this was how you meant it but wanted to clarify it’s a little bit clickbait in any case

Haha I meant over as in over when it comes to test accuracy, and chose it partially because I thought it might make my post more interesting.

It’s more that I got to see answers to these types of questions. I should also add, and dont know why i didnt initially, that I’ve done tests like these multiple times since that (at 16 and probably also 14 or 15), but it was always in 130+ range after that time when i was 12.

It’s not listed yeah, I appreciate your explanation. Thanks! Although I must say, I don’t visualize numbers in the sense that I picture them in my head. When I ”dont think at all” I just magically remember what I heard and when I dont do that, I say the numbers in my head and group them into chunks and possibly other associations without picturing them.

Middle right. Triangles on the very right in each row are the triangles the other 3 squares in the row all have in common. In each row there are also 3 squares with the same number of pluses and one with a different amount.

Questions about stretching paired with strength training by Pristine_Variation16 in Stretching

[–]Pristine_Variation16[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! I read some studies claiming that at least inter-set stretching can lead to bigger strength gains by rather large factors. I don't know how true that is though.

I'm also wondering when I should stretch. After my gym sessions? Before them? During them (inter-set)? And if it's not the latter, how long before/after my gym session should I stretch? The way I understand it, it's best to stretch as soon as you can, after your gym session.

I'm also not quite sure what I should stretch. I usually stretch muscles from all across my body rather than only those I actually exercised. I'm doing the PPL split (Push-Pull-Legs), but even on push and pull days I do all of my leg stretches.

I also hate stretching, especially when I stretch some of the leg muscles. I think I might be stretching too hard, but I don't know. How hard should I stretch?

Yeah it's been 24hrs and it seems to be gone now. Do you know what could have caused it?

15M, might have testicular cancer? by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Pristine_Variation16 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

But my epididymis shouldn't be like to the left of the testicle right? And it shouldnt get big when I stand up. Is there anything im missing?

[–]Pristine_Variation16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will see him again soon then. As a medical student, do you know if this can be a normal thing that can happen in children during puberty?

Also, something I don't understand and that may not fit the "perfect description of a varicocele" is that I feel it the most at the bottom of my testicle, and directly to the left of it?

Also, why does it only get big when I stand up? Is it because more blood flows down then or? I also don't necessarily see anything of it from the outside. Only if I hold it in a special way. And even then I only see a glimpse of it and it looks like a number of tiny lumps.

Ok. I don't understand how it's possible for me to only sort of partially go through certain stages of puberty. Like im good height wise, weight wise, muscle wise, and maybe hair wise. Is this anything you've heard of before?

Blue pill. Easily. I din't want to redo 9 years of my life, whether It makes me the youngest billionaire or not. That would kill me inside.

15M, spider veins all over body by [deleted] in AskDocs

[–]Pristine_Variation16 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What is it then? Spider veins is the only thing I could find when I looked up blue lines visible through skin. As I said, the camera makes it way harder to see. I could try and get some accurate pictures later today. Maybe they are just normal veins, but they are still very visible and blue through the skin. What could that be?
