Thought to be the shortest IQ test in the world, the Cognitive Reflection Test consists of just three questions :

1. A bat and a ball cost £1.10 in total. The bat costs £1 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

2. If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

CRT tests are usually done to see how quickly a person gets the correct answer after giving the wrong one. IQ tests are more about logic, puzzles and memory.

Yep. Got those.

****ing good job; how foolish would I have felt, failing, after having spent half the day harranguing the editorial board and statistics consultant of my society journal about the correct use of post hoc tests and P values. :facepalm:

IQ tests are really just a test of how good you are at IQ tests.
