<p>Here is an example from recent IQ test. </p>

<pre><code>    (start a timer set for 13 seconds ,once your ready with a paper and pencil) 
Question 1.                11,14,8,53,7,48 
  Is the total of these numbers even ?

 (Set timer for 40 seconds this time)
Question             22, 4,19,8,67,16 
    Is the total odd?
</code></pre>

<p>Then there is no time limit.</p>

<p>Clearly with no time limit almost everyone could find the answer.
With the strict time, only a small percentage could solve the problem.</p>

<p>The amount of time shows the method used.<br>
A genius uses an larger mathicalcan truth (ex. An odd number of odds will always have an total which is odd) . The actual numbers don’t matter and never needs to add them, just count the odds.
      You can add numbers in your head when able to answer under 40 seconds.</p>

The examples common from section 2 of practice test before the actual test live on internet cite geniustests.com. How can I site information that is common knowledge. I am a member of Mensa. To qualify you need to be in the top 2 percent , it is an intelligence quotient, comparing how many questions you answered right and the time it took to do so. I cite google search ( that is the amount of info I gathered to back up info which can not be taught, I tried by explaining that the test how u solve problems, math , spatial,Or   Verbal

Your a neurologist , I am doing research on long term potential. Does your work area cross with mine on any way I would love to talk to some one that knows what Neuroplasticity is? No hard feeling.

<p><em>In this previous question on scoring <a href="https://cogsci.stackexchange.com/questions/4483/how-to-calculate-iq-score-based-on-raw-score-and-adjust-for-age/4485">IQ tests</a> the OP asked about the effect of speed of test, but it was a bit peripheral to the core question. So I thought I'd ask it as a separate question.
To slightly rephrase the question:</em></p>

<blockquote>
  <p>"If the speed with which a test is completed sometimes
  affects the IQ score, surely for identical test scores where one is
  completed in 10 minutes and another in 30 minutes should affect the
  IQ score."</p>
</blockquote>

<p>So the question:</p>

<p><strong>To what extent is time to complete an intelligence test incorporated into the IQ score?</strong></p>

I think it a time limit should be applied to certain parts of the test but considering how slow I work I don't want there to be a time limit on normal tests.

I have taken two tests, one with no time limit and one with 30 min. time limit. I did very well on one (170), and much less on the other (129).[![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/vRm2g.jpg)](https://i.sstatic.net/vRm2g.jpg)

### Answer by username_3 on 2019-01-26. Score: 1

Here is an example from recent IQ test. 
    (start a timer set for 13 seconds ,once your ready with a paper and pencil) 
Question 1.                11,14,8,53,7,48 
  Is the total of these numbers even ?

 (Set timer for 40 seconds this time)
Question             22, 4,19,8,67,16 
    Is the total odd?

Then there is no time limit.
Clearly with no time limit almost everyone could find the answer.
With the strict time, only a small percentage could solve the problem.
The amount of time shows the method used.
A genius uses an larger mathicalcan truth (ex. An odd number of odds will always have an total which is odd) . The actual numbers don’t matter and never needs to add them, just count the odds.
      You can add numbers in your head when able to answer under 40 seconds.
