>>11512283>that's the point of questions like this. It's about filtering out the useless, uncorrelated data and finding the patterns that are consistent and have predictive properties. This is essentially how a modern scientist approaches their work.But that's also what makes this particular question so bad at estimating that, as there are three different patterns that lead to different answers and all of the patterns are equally reasonable.
All of the samples have the same number of dots as colors. This implies answer 5.
All of the samples have the same number of dots as overlaps. This implies answer 1.
All of the samples have the same number of dots are shapes. This implies answer 3.
It was a shit question that was poorly put together and only measures luck, not IQ.
