  Part of an IQ test is timing...
  
  I completed in about 15 minutes and didn't use paper, pen or a calculator. That's how it's supposed to be done.

  I didn't use any of that, either. Didn't have an egg timer and I know how to pace myself checking my work as I go to avoid mistakes. If I had any warning that I had seconds left I get that last answer. LOL, I was using a trackpad so I should get a few seconds leeway - I was literally trying to click on the bubble as the time cut off.
  
  It's not a race, and there's no scoring advantage for finishing early - I use the time to consider alternative constructs and better solutions, even if my first answer is right 95% of the time. That's why I usually score well on these, although I didn't finish the wonderlic (where time IS an issue) and would need some practice to adapt my approach.

  I got 16/30, mainly because I didn't put more than 15 seconds of effort into the math/number crunching ones. The word ones were extremely easy to me.
