That raised a question: What portion of its failure on the test was due to “bad thinking” vs just “bad vision”? To answer that, I created a verbal translation of the Norway Mensa’s 35-question matrix-style IQ test — my goal was to describe each problem precisely enough that a smart blind person could, in theory, accurately draw the question (detailed examples below.) When the matrices were described to ChatGPT-4 in words, it finally got a scoreable IQ!

I also ran the quiz for other AIs, and here’s what I got: Every AI was given the test twice, to reduce variance. “Questions right” refers to the av
