A fun test (well I thought it was fun anyway)

If people are giving real scores then we are much better than the average group. If the avg. group is 75% we are at least 90%.

I got 92%, 23/25.

I am not great at all at math, but I do think very much in the abstract.

I think I'm the only one here who quit half way through because I got too bored.

26 trials, got 88%

Math ability is... weird. I have very good conceptual understanding of math. But I often make simple mistakes. I get answers that are in the ballpark but slightly wrong. I think it's because I really suck at sequencing. I can't learn the 'recipe' sequences for math problems, instead I have to figure it out on my own each time I do the problem. Thinking of the problem visually helps - I was much better at geometry than other areas of math.

Never had an official math test, as far as I know. I did take the SAT, and got 1800 as my total score, but all I can remember of the breakdown was that I was better at the verbal part.

I got 84% after 25, got 3 wrong answers.
I'd say I'm quite good at basic maths, scored 15 on WAIS which is 95th centile.

My son sat next to me while I did this test and spoke out loud his answers. All were the same as mine except for 2 that I got wrong. He got rights answers on those so if he took the test his score would have been 24/25, 96%. He is 5 years old

LOL

Is he on the spectrum?

I don't know. I don't know if I am either. He is very good at maths for his age though, a lot further ahead than most of the other kids in his class. I was the same at his age and throughout most of school, but the difference was less apparent (still above average, bot no longer exceptional) by the time I had left high school. This kind of maths ability is fairly 'normal' in the rest of my family.

85% but i got distracted a few times and forgot to watch the screen lol
