Took my time (around 10 mins) and got 8/9
Decided to make a new try selecting randomly (around 10 seconds) and got 4/9.
Old lesson from engineering school reminded: usually the most accurate is not the most cost effective solution.
Help me out by taking this spatial ability test

Re: Help me out by taking this spatial ability test
#52It is a test to see the frustration of people seeing 8/9 when they are sure of their answers (BBACCADAA).
The answer to http://psych.io/spatial/hard.jpg is A.
Re: Help me out by taking this spatial ability test
#539/9... but with submitting twice (first try: 7/9) The tests that have only different symbols are much easier than the ones where symbols are repeated. For example for question 1, without actually building the whole of the cube in one's head, it's quite obvious that the circle is always on the left side of the heart, except in one case where it will be at the top, and since the cubes have to be absolutely identical on…
Yes, there are many moderators of difficulty. We had some requirements for the test which included graded difficulty from very easy to very hard to be able to separate out people of different abilities over a regular population. We were supposed to design the first question so that 100% of people got it correct; to be an easy, practice type question. Also, you guys aren't even getting to see our hardest questions :D…
Nice. I believe I know the answer, though.

Re: Help me out by taking this spatial ability test
#558/9 the best way is IMHO not trying to build the 3d mental cube but moving and rotating the faces to the same axis and then compare. The 3d memtal model is elusive sometimes
Re: Help me out by taking this spatial ability test
#56It seems broken to me. 1 of 9 and I'm normally off the charts on spatial ability. It was sitting in my browser window for a while but that shouldn't matter if the problem was a wrong answer key.
Re: Help me out by taking this spatial ability test
#57Hmmm, 2 out of 9 and no feedback? I have to say I find that deeply frustrating :) Also, I have no idea what you're collecting data for or anything; I just gave you my time, please let me know what you've done with it. Hope you get the results you wanted. Edit: Apparently I scored 8/9, which is less frustrating :)
This is for a psych project. It is quite a bit harder than most spatial ability tests. Most spatial ability tests are easy to do with non-spatial methods. We have designed this item format to (hopefully) not be the case. Our results so far have shown that not having a time limit doesn't affect the results substantially either, unlike most other spatial tests. It is a test of what you are able to do rather than how qu…
Thanks, that's cool. Yeah, I had to manually rotate things in my mind to solve it, although there are a few where the sequences give it away, e.g. 5 the arrow points away from the cross.

The trick of pairing opposite faces to create a 3-tuple of directions drawn from {opposite,same,sideways} for each cube makes this possible to answer without much spatial reasoning.
Without any tricks I find it hard to believe anyone can do this one. It'd be hard to find a different holding the solid cubes.

If there aren't at least 2 which are uniquely different from the others I'll eat my hat
