One of the best ways to test and improve your thinking skills is to do brain games. Logic, thinking, and visual-related parts of the brain, like the prefrontal cortex and temporal lobes, get a lot of exercise when you solve a problem. Psychologists think that people who are better at finding patterns, spotting deviations, and using abstract reasoning tend to do better on IQ tests.
People who are smart, have quick reactions, and are good at observing things tend to notice small things quickly. Strong brains can handle visual information better, which makes people with high IQs very good at quickly solving tough puzzles and questions. You should be able to solve this puzzle because you think you have sharp eyes and a quick mind.
Pay close attention to the picture. Nothing seems out of the ordinary at first glance. It is said that a woman stands in front of a mirror and stares at herself. But don’t be fooled by the ordinary scene—there is one big mistake that you can see right away.
How fast can you find the mistake? This is meant to test how fast you can think and how well you can pay attention to details. Your analytical and visual skills get better the faster you can spot the mistake.
Many people find it hard to do because of how the mind sees patterns it already knows. Mirror images are something we see every day, and our brains tend to fill in the blanks to give us a complete, logical picture. It’s hard to see mistakes in everyday settings because of this cognitive bias.
Because your brain thinks a mirror image should act in a certain way, it’s easy to miss the mistake in this picture at first. But people who are very good at noticing things will see the contradiction right away!
Need a Hint?
If you can’t figure out where the mistake is, don’t worry! Brain training with IQ games and visual problems can help you get better at answering problems over time. Are you ready for the answer? Check to see if you were right by scrolling down!
