Here's a copy of the VZ-2 paper folding test I also miraculously found the answer key as well. Give it a go, average is around 13, SD~3. 3 min for each section and don't cheat with the answer key ;-)

Nice find Pontus. Got em all right but I guess it doesn't count
because I didn't run a timer.

Here's another fun spatial test for you guys

I missed #18 only, scoring 19/20 in the allotted time.

2 standard deviations, sounds about right

[Pontus Granström]

I never understood #15, what's the deal? There's no new "folding instruction" from square one to two.

Actually I got it now, they fold the top paper once to make a triangle, resulting in 3 dots from the low right corner diagnol up 2 more dots.

[Joe G]

Scored 19. Missed only #7. I tend to make those sorts of silly
mistakes when under time pressure...

Yes, it's quite tight, only 18 seconds per question.

Finished at 5m 20s (took 3m for Pt.1) with 100%. Felt like a joke.

#15 is pretty darn simple: first square shows a diagonal fold; second
shows the bottom-right corner being folded over; punching through
makes for 3 holes.

Where can I find the stats on this, anyway?

Seems to hold little predictive power for computer programmers.

[Nur Ikhwan]

Is there any norms for this test?

[Pontus Granström]

13 average sd 3. Is there anyone who is going to argue this isn't a working memory test?

Fun test. So a perfect score is just over 2 SD, I see... I wonder if I can qualify for Mensa with this. :)

Sorry, but this test is a joke. If anything it illustrates the meaninglessness in using time as an important variable in psychometric testing. 

[polar]

I dont know this test, and agree that its too simple.. here is an example of paper folding SB subtest

Difficult question: answer number one is correct?

--

[Pontus Granström]

Number four of course...

[Pontus Granström]

lol number two...

[Pontus Granström]

nah I stick with number one

[Brandon Woodson]

easy: 2; difficult: 1

[Pontus Granström]

Working memory test

[Brandon Woodson]

You, again? ;) In my defense, so is the digit span, forwards and backwards!

OAN: Just based on the answer pool, it seems easy enough that, in a pinch, one could rapidly and accurately guess on many of these with no or minimal spatial manipulation. (4 doesn't have enough folds; 3 is asymmetrical w.r.t to the fold; and 2 is just...yeah, 2)

I would guess this task - and others like it - have an insane practice effect.

[Pontus Granström]

Yes you can apply a lot of techniques to speed up the process. Easiest to me is to fold the answers which is very easy due to symmetry and overlapping

[Pontus Granström]

This is also a reason why most visual tests loads very low in the Gv-factor.

[Pontus Granström]

And, managing your working memory is what "G" really is, the common
factor of all cognitive tests, efficient and good ways to reduce the
working memory load so the problem can be solved.

[Ernie Pinto]

Part Two Question #20, the answer should be A instead of C?

[Sheyda Manouchehr]

Do you have any source that shows the average score is 13?

[Graham]

Bump.
