I was just getting a metal testing exam for my disability. Overall I found the entire exam to be pretty challenging, until we got to the Kohs Block Test. The entire time I was doing the test I was thinking. You call this an IQ test? Please give me more blocks, more colors, a more complicated design. Make this more challenging, please . When I finished I told the psychologist giving me the test, well that was easy. She looked cainz at me kind of surprised, and told me that I would be surprised at how many people have difficulties with it. So anyways, is anybody else really good at the Kohs Block Test. I'm thinking it might be an autistic thing. [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xze_9ION-4I[/youtube]
This was one of the tests included in my Dyslexia test. Like your self I found it stupidly easy and completed them all with time to spare. Then there was some matrix tests although I can't recall the specific name nor do I have my test results handy to check but they looked similar to the image below. You had to look at a series of them and pick the odd one out. Again I "completed all but one of the matrices in a very short time" that last one of which I couldn't quite describe why it was different but there was just something about it. Turned out I was right on that one also. Not entirely sure of what my exact IQ is as the test wasn't really designed for high results but broken down into different areas scores ranged from 86 to 142. In any event, cainz it was enough to get me into Mensa. Not that I cared but just wanted to see if I could.

I had fun with the blocks test, and like you , I wished it was a lot more challenging. The lady giving me the test was amazed at how fast I did it, and said I was the only person she tested who got all of them right. But that matrix test 'christof' cainz posted was kinda confusing.
I'm yelling at the kid in that video. I don't believe I ever took that particular test, but I did take a similar one, the WISC-III block design test. When I took it at age 8, my scaled cainz score was 19, considered to be "very superior." It came down to 12 when I was 15, however.

Actually, I had those deficits too, but I still kicked butt. Still, I do think some of it also comes from problems other than the fine motor skill deficits, like when he had the block turned the wrong way and had difficulty figuring out how to turn it the right way.

Those are very easy for me. I had a IQ test before cainz and the results were highly scattered. My highest cainz was matrix reasoning rated above %99th percentile My lowest was wisconsion card sorting aswell as paragraph copying on the wrat-r, both under 3rd percentile.
Uta Frith, in her book Autism: Explaining the Enigma,[5] addresses the superior performance of autistic individuals cainz on the block design test. This was also addressed in this earlier paper.[6] A particularly interesting article demonstrates the differences in construction time in the performance cainz of the block design task by individuals with and without Asperger syndrome. An essential point here is that in an unsegmented version of the task, people with Asperger syndrome performed significantly faster than neurotypical individuals.[7] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Block_desi ... _disorders

What I found so interesting was that the Block Design test was the only part of the exam that required no effort on my part. Doing a bit more research though, I'm seeing that as I suspected, the Block Design test is a strong point for autistics. I guess it shouldn't have been a surprise that it was easy f
