BEHOLD! INSTRUCTIONS - Prices, Rules, Norms and Statistical Data for Dr Jason Betts's IQ Tests
1. Instructions: COPY, PASTE AND ANSWER THESE CHECKS IN A TEXT EMAIL:
CHECK 1. First time only: Have you included a government/official ID card or passport?
CHECK 2. First time only: Give a webpage which shows your legal name and your email:
CHECK 3. First/Updating: List all of your previous IQ test names and your results please:
CHECK 4: My format is to use only two full names. What are your two full names please?
CHECK 5: Pay first and then send all of your answers. Have you paid the fee with paypal?
CHECK 6. All items must be answered, lest fee loss. Put your answers here, one item/line:
2. Submissions: Send tests/Paypal payments to: 2024@psiq.org or www.paypal.me/jasonbetts.
Email format: Send the item number and answer on a new line inside the email; no attachments.
3. Please include all of your previous IQ tests and IQ scores as this helps calibrate the tests further.
A vertical list is the most helpful in the format: Lux25, Betts 132 (preferred format is in SD15).
4. In 2011 my tests were $33 AUD, then rose to $44 in 2014. The max price will be my age in $.
New Prices: $1 per (# of previous submissions), up to $50 for 50+ submissions with certificate.
5. Only data from the first submission is used; only one submission is allowed for all tests. Outliers
indicates the number of dat¾ that have been removed from the norming averages, not histogram.
6. The Linear Fit (LF) are running estimations of each test and are not IQ results. They are a guide
and should not be used. Official IQ test results are only given after normings via one's certificate.
7. An IQ score certificate is sent out on the first norming estimated at 30 submissions and not before.
The score on it is based on the norming data at that time; for current norms check back to this file.
8. There is only one correct and exact answer for every item. Ensure you spell it correctly to the letter.
If the answer required is MICROS then MICRO and MICRON are wrong because you missed a clue.
9. No communication about the answers will be entered into. My judgement is total, absolute and final.
All persons are marked against the same answers, and in that regard, the same submitted IQ data set.
10. This will really entice me to keep my norms updated on a regular basis so the costs are updated too!
The incentive arising from this means that the sooner you do one of my tests - the cheaper it will be!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BETTS' LAW
(i) One should spend a total of one hour for every item that is on any high range IQ test; and, (ii) doubling that
amount of time will result in an increase of ten percent in the raw score of the number of items marked correct;
(iii) the amount of time a test designer should spend on each item is two hours per item on the whole test; and,
(iv) an increase in one's TrueIQ is expected to be 1 IQ point per year if the person is constantly taking IQ tests.
(v) the increment of IQ points per number of items right should be at least 1 for every SD of IQ range possible.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
BETTS' TrueIQ
Different people have different types of intelligence and will perform differently on different types of test.
I am confident that my four best tests (Lux25, WIT, Mathema, Asterix) genuinely collectively measure g.
Your TrueIQ (g) is probably a combination of scores gained from a variety of IQ test types, for example:
Asterix (mathematical), Mathema (verbal/numerical), WIT (logical/reasoning) and the Lux25 (variety).
Definition:
TrueIQ is the average general IQ of a person in all general and everyday situations. It is the average of all
of their types of intelligence (spacial, numerical, verbal, reasoning, symbollic, et cetera) for all of their life.
Generally, a person's TrueIQ will not change, however, an increase of 10% over 10 years is not unheard-of.
I will publish some data soon on TrueIQ, but so far it seems that many people whom have taken more than
20 tests from others may have a 20 or 30 point range from low to high will have only a 5 point range on my
tests, PLUS the average on mine is usually the same as the average of others' tests, to within 1 or 2 IQ points.
A TrueIQ certificate is issued for those that have taken these 4 tests and is a much stronger figure for your IQ.

Asterix* FINAL NORM!
If you want to spend some thinking time then look at Asterix; this one can take you a week or so of spare time.
I describe it as mathematical and not just numerical as it contains many mathematical ideas, not just numbers.
In some ways, the simplicity of Asterix gives it great power and elegance while remaining totally culture-fair.

Canopus is a very difficult test. One would be better doing the Lux25 or the EZIQ tests first for practise.
The theme for Canopus is 'the heavens' and it is combination of word games, numbers and encryptions.

Circle is based on the theme of circles and is science and mathematically-based with a touch of mythology.
It is reasonably straightforward and is mostly of verbal logical-inductions with some simple mathematics.

This is a fun little test and a good place to start - three sections of ten questions, nice and easyish.
The words are simple, the patterns are clear and visual and the associated words are very common.
The EZIQ is probably my easiest word test and the best one for the non-genius to cut their teeth on.

Flux is a new concept test, similar to Godel in question style in using the format of a mathematical function.
The object of the question is stated and then the nature of the core concept is stated in brackets, before the
first term and starting place for the 'flow of time' to be applied - how does each term change over time?

This experimental test is my attempt to measure the negative space of divergent thinking - and it is working!
Please have a philosophical ponder and ensure your answers are one word unless it requires two for clarity.

Hiqu is a beautiful test of metaphor and poetry using the Japanese Haiku format with the last word missing.
The syllables of each phrase are 5-7-5 and thereby telling you the number of syllables contained in the answer.
Search for 'Zen clarity'. Sometimes it is the obvious word that is correct and othertimes it may be the allusiory.

This is a fun little thinking test where the answers (except one) can be seen on a standard English keyboard.
This means they are either capital letters, punctuation or symbols of some kind. It is very logical and accurate.
As each symbol can only be used once it acts as an internal clue system as many questions may point similarly.

L'Orange is a fun little test with an orange theme of 16 simple logical inductions based on high school topics.
It is reasonably straighforward but highly complex in it's reasoning, requiring both lateral and logical thinking.
The answers are factual, neat and tidy and somewhat elegant. I am very sure you will enjoy researching for it.

Lux25 FINAL NORM!
Many people can do the Lux25 in 10 minutes and score well, however, time is required for items 11 to 15.
It is quick because it tests by education, knowledge and thinking as well as patterns and basic word-logics.
It uses classes (both common and alien) and also has higher-order of complexity verbal logical-inferences.

Mathema FINAL NORM!
Mathema will take you a week or so because you have to understand the problem before you can answer it.
Working out what the problem is IS the problem and takes time, while answering it will only take seconds.
Mathema has the most precision and lowest accuracy, reliably measuring your IQ in 10-point graduations.
It tests mathematical skill and knowledge, numerical pattern intelligence and verbal-logical reasoning.

This is a test for psychic's Psi-Q, using the same statistical rarity for IQ except based on probability and not IQ.
Obviously as a once-of event this is for interest only and has no statistical thoroughness or confidence in any way.
However, it may be of some interest as a remote viewing or ESP exercise. It seems that IQ does not make psychic!

World Intelligence Test FINAL NORM!
WIT can also be done in a very short amount of time; the second highest score of 33/40 (175 IQ) was achieved
in only 5 hours, and this is okay because this person has several scores over 172. The top scorer for WIT spent
many hours researching it and achieved 35/40 (181 IQ), having achieved several test scores over 190 IQ. If you
want a quick test that you think you can easily beat, try WIT. The reason it works is because it is a test of logic
and reasoning, using IQ to sort out what question it is and what the answer is NOT. All items have been solved.

World Intelligence Test Thricey
WITTY is the third installation of the WIT but more personal and a bit darker from my healing journey.
A slightly different format, it integrates some basic wordplay, cryptology and the usual witty reasoning.

Chromatrix is a clear and culture-fair test of painting-by-numbers, limited to the rainbow plus black and white.
Solutions are drawn from the fields of light, colour, ¾sthetics, logic, mathematics and my occasional whimsy.
Ensure that your answers are one digit from 0 to 8 and on a new line next to the item numbers from 1 to 27.

Zen is a simple logical set of four koans in Latin based on the four elements.
Once understood, the questions present as "this causes this as that causes that".
Two submissions are recommended to achieve your potential on these problems.

Jason Betts' High Range IQ Test Concept Genius Creations and
Personal Innovations!
The best qualities to look for in high-range tests is accuracy, quickness/efficiency and elegance of concept.
¥ TrueIQ - a collective measure of overall <g> IQ performance.
¥ bysl3x - created the AB¥CD form to denote: A is to B, as C is to D.
¥ Asterix - created a test with using only one character, the Asterix (*).
¥ Comix - created a new format { A | B ( B&C ) C | D } with shared clues.
¥ Interrobang‽ - created a test with all answers being only of one character in length.
¥ Gšdel - created a new format A : B = f{question} to describe divergent negative space.
¥ Alchemix - first to use the triple colon (:::) in searching for the next sequential or missing item.
¥ NIT - created the first test using numbers as item content as a common associations-class question.
¥ ZEN - first person to use Latin translation as the whole of a test, which, funnily enough, seems to be working.
¥ Betts' Law - defined the relationship of score improvement as a function of time invested for high-range tests.
¥ PSIQ - use of IQ statistical rarity to measure PSI-Q in the same way, ie. 1/1,000 probability = 146 PSIQ sd 15.

TIPS & HINTS - How to answer some of Jason's extra-tricky cryptic logical inductions correctly!
Ensure that the language and the context of the answer is consistant with the logic and phrasing of the question.
These questions are of the format A : B :: C : D, A is to B, as C is to D but with maybe 4 clues!
For example, PAPAW : LEMON :: ORANGE : ? Papaya is a tint of Orange, as Lemon is of Yellow.
Another clue is number of letters: 5 : 5 :: 6 : 6, and finally, P/L are consonants, contra to O/Y being vowels.
001) Ask, What do A and B have in common? This is the most important thing. List as many as you can!
010) Then work out the process of going from A to B. Does this process relate to C in any way? How?
011) If yes, can this process be applied to C? If yes, does answer D relate to B in any way? Clues?
100) Do this for all possible solutions of how A and B relate, and then test them against C to D.
101) Assess each working answer for elegance, spelling, word play, symmetry, simplicity and patterns.
THE KEY:
Do not look at the second half of the problem UNTIL you have worked out the 'process trick' of the first.
Many think they know what's going on. They don't. Then they guess for an answer and they are wrong.
Work out the first half. Totally. Look for the clues. THEN, and only then, should you attempt to apply it.
Jason's Method for Solving IQ Tests
Dear Friend,
I am glad you enjoy the tests.
This is my method for solving IQ tests:
1. Allow 30 days. Look at the pages daily.
2. Allow 1 hour for every question, minimum.
3. Only put 1 question on a page, even if it is a simple item.
4. Create MANY answers for every question. Think differently.
5. Shuffle the pages (16 pages for Asterix, etc) and re-examine daily.
6. Wait a week before sending, don't look. Then re-examine them and send.
And it's good for the brain. A good test makes you think you're right!
The great thing about my tests is that you don't know if you're right.
Rather, you'll think you might know, but that's because there's more
than one answer, usually several at different IQ levels, so aim higher!
They always have a factual basis somewhere (science, maths, philosophy)
and even though some seem wild and chaotic there's an inner order in there.
Divergence seeking convergence - so to speak - ordo ab chao.... whahahahaha!
;-)

An email I once sent about TrueIQ:
Your TrueIQ is the best score you'll ever get for accuracy.
It's 84 untimed items testing many kinds of intelligence.
It's a very solid battery of very high-level thinking,
and
pits your mind against everyone else that's ever
done it.
:-)
Mathema is an experimental test (vs psych testing) that measures IQ
in the range from 130 to 190 (huge range!) with only 16 questions.
60/16 = 4ish, so the answers are 4 worth points each on average.
However, it doesn't work like that.
Some items are solved by 140IQ and some require 160IQ,
and some people's minds are able to solve a set of 3 if they are 146,
and another set of people are able to solve a set of 4 if they are 153+, etc.
Overall, it works as a test, if normed AT OBSERVED LEVELS,
meaning, if you look at the norms, the levels are evenly spaced.
The test works as the test works, in jumps of 3 to 10 per mark.
Asterix is my most accurate test, and will always be close to your TrueIQ.
Depending on the way your mind works (verbal/numerical/spacial/divergent)
you'll do better on some items like the WIT and Asterix which are simpler,
but not as well on the specialised knowledge that is built into Lux25 and
Mathema. To make it interesting, that knowledge is encrypted and codified
with IQ-dependent processes, so even if you did have that specific knowledge,
you will also need to use IQ to unlock it; likewise, even if you are smart enough,
you still might need that physics / maths
education to understanding the problem.
And yes, knowledge is a valid way of testing IQ, since smarter people learn
more, study more, are better educated, or at least, read and remember more.
So, overall, all of my tests work and will be within 10 points
of your TrueIQ.
