>>11221884I think the argument people are making here is that it's too easy to recognize other patterns here and that it's too difficult to make the distinction as to what's determined as the correct pattern without what they're arguing is the prerequisite knowledge.
Like, now that I've read through the thread, I get it, but when I was just looking at it raw I wasn't really sure what I was supposed to be doing with it. I worked through a few different possibilities that didn't really math out until I decided that the simplest solution was to ask.
I don't know if I would have gotten it if I had stared at it for another five minutes or not, but now that I've had it explained to me I know that I can sus out similar patterns on my own, or at least make the attempt more easily, which is kind of antithetical to the purpose of an IQ test.
The argument isn't that this isn't recognizing the pattern, the argument is that the real test here is determining the basis of the question in order to determine what pattern may or may not be valid.
