Didn't give me a score ... I'm fairly certain that for my Q8 (2 squares, 2 circles & 2 triangles on each), there was no unique odd one out. For A & C the triangles pointed opposite directions when assembled, and B & D they pointed in the same direction.

I reached the same conclusion.

This is excruciatingly difficult. I have no experience with this sort of a test, and the method that I chose (albeit quickly and without a whole lot of thought) was to pick four sides that were touching, and try to find the one pattern that didn't have the same four sides touching.

This logic obviously didn't work, because I got 1 / 9. Does anyone have a strategy for this, or is it pure logic?

Sorry guys, had an incorrect marking key for the test, fixed it now. My greatest apologies for those who didn't get a correct score back, ill put up your scores with the last half of your IP addresses very soon!

I'm pretty sure I got them all right, and it told me I only had 2 correct. You might want to double-check the marking key.

Spoiler alert

Hm. I might have "cheated" on this. I haven't tried to imagine the actual 2D->3D transformations but instead looked for clues in the 2D images. It's a bit hard to describe - transforming the cutouts in my head so that they match (or obviously differ) in 2D while still giving the same cube.

Did not submit though, since I got tired after the 4th set.

For those of you that took the test earlier, go to http://psych.io/spatial/scores.php for your correct score. It will work as long as you have the same IP as beofre. Sorry again about the mix up to start. And thankyou so much to everyone that is doing this!

Cool thanks. 8/9 :)
