Looking for a specific psychological test
Looking for a specific psychological test
This is about a test I took as a child, about 20 years ago (not sure if it was IQ, but it was this kind of test). I'd like to find what it was but I (obvioulsy) dont remember everything about it. However some specific details are still pretty vivid so perhaps one of you had a similar test and could have a reference.
I remember a section about assembling jigsaw puzzles. Not very complicated one but I was timed. There were also trivia questions (like "what does the U.N. acronym mean?"). More specifically, there were questions where I was shown pictures and I had to point out "what was missing". Stuff like a chest of drawers (like this one but as a simplified drawing) with one handle missing.
Thanks for your attention!

Sounds like maybe it was an IQ test. I took two of those as a child to get into a program. One was with the school counselor and the other was with a psychologist that came to the school. I remember that one part of the test has a set of cubes. The sides were painted differently in red and white. The psychologist would then show me a picture that could be made with the cubes and I had to reproduce it by placing the cubes in a specific way while they timed me. Just found it making this comment. It's called a block design test and it's to measure IQ.
They also asked me seemingly random trivia, such as the definitions of certain words. There were other tests for the overall IQ, but I don't remember what they were.
Those cubes do ring a bell although I suspect it may be fabricated memories. It being an IQ test makes sense with what was told to me, thanks!
