Look at black arrows all black arrows cover each corner round the diamond starting with first arrow on left. The next one white arrow pointing r corner. So what is the last corner with white arrow to cover. D. Go clock wise
@@carolynesimpson6070 That is true but there is nothing to logically conclude there should be a white arrow pointing to all corners of the diamond just as there was for the black arrows. Prior questions on Mensa tests will often have the same number of X on every row and every column. So I'd argue that my answer follows this pattern.
True. Im looking at it differently. Taking a different angle. Pardon the pun!.... there are 9 Diamonds . Do each angle first on 8 Diamonds Because there are 9 it makes you look at the pattern differently. If only 8 it would easy. Making you think outside the box. In this case the Diamond.
@@laurentdelbeque6211 I did the test that was required by the Company and I got little above average 7/10. There was a unique design that I got multipel times (2-3 times) during that test, a design that I had not seen before so I had to guess through 😂
yeah, he messed up and accidentally said that the arrow is white instead of saying that the background is white, but he explained his way of thinking, which would lead to answer B
I think the explanation is wrong also. The first row, second to third goes from horizontal to vertical and changes color. In the second row, first to second, that doesn't happen. Then in the third row he expects a color change? The explanation that would lead to B is much simpler; each row has two black arrows. (Same for each column) The least complicated solution is usually correct 😊
easy is the one out of the thumb-nail, isn't it? ...within a second you can see, that the paradigm to get the solution is a linear shift of 1/2 towards the right, thus just < E > matches this paradigm and is thereof the solution... Le p'tit Daniel
There seems to be an error in your analysis. For # 19, you stated that when the arrow goes from horizontal to vertical it doesn't change color. However, in the top row the arrow goes from horizontal to vertical and does change color.
Interesting point but only one answer is correct in this test and the most logical answer is A. Then the addition will be correct both in the rows and in the columns directions.
I don't know if I agree with your solution for question 19. Every diagonal that points leftwards, just like every row and every column, has 2 pieces with black arrows. Moreover, every diagonal that points rightwards preserves the color of the arrow.
Q19: the first 2 rows have 2 black arrows, therefore the 3rd row should have 2 black arrows as well. So, the answer should be B, a black arrow facing upward.
@@iqdude7727 Yes, it is B, but the explanation was wrong, too. The color-change-based-on-rotation theory doesn't make sense if you look at it again. This poster's simple explanation is right. The trick of this obnoxious little puzzle is to make you overthink things.
The arrow will be black, not white with question 19 because the previous 2 rows have 2 black arrows which means the 3rd row will also have a black arrow. This means the correct answer is B, not D.
Think of a clock !.... because diamond shape each corner must have an arrow facing. The problem being if only 8 diamonds it would be obvious. 5 black arrows oppose to 4 white. Do the all points first. Thats how i worked it out lol
Q19 explanation in video confusing ... saying: 'Vertical to horizontal it changes color ... but horizontal to vertical it won't change color' so why changing the color to white? It should remain black. Also applying to row 2 the second arrow.
The way I worked out no. 19 is...... there are 9 diamonds. If there was 8 it would be easy.....so each black arrow faces a corner/ a point. Throw in one more to confuse you. So each white arrow has to point to a corner FIRST. Think of a clock . 12 noon, quarter past, half past, Quarter too. Do those first!! With white arrows. That’s the way I worked it out . A bit long winded but not when working it out. Lol. SO THE ANSWER IS D. Pointing 12 noon!......
If any job interview asked me to do an IQ test, I would simply walk out and leave. What a silly thing to ask. Question # 33 on the Norway Mensa test is a perfect example as to why I have no desire to join Mensa despite getting a perfect score on the tryout test. What a convoluted amount of nonsense.
