Spatial Skills Test

I found this interesting spatial skills test.

This was never a particularly strong suit of mine, and I got 19 on this test (note that before getting the results it asks for a bunch of information, but you can leave it all blank and click next and get the score without inputting anything).

I am curious how other Atlasians would fare on this test.

18. It's quite difficult.

In my opinion, the 3 views part was the easiest, rotating objects 2nd easiest, cross sections 2nd hardest, and the shadows easily the hardest section.

21...that was hardest "spatial" test I've ever taken.  I'd always been pretty good at those things in standardized tests.  Honestly, I prefer the "if gear A turns clockwise, what direction will gear B turn?" stuff more.

Wow, do you visualize a lot in your job?  That is a really high score.

Yep, there's a reason I can never be an architect.

Seriously?  That is at about random guessing levels given that the quiz had 32 questions.  Since you did not put it in the survey were you just joking?

Very serious. Admittedly I did rush a bit at the end of each section but would hardly have improved much.

Now you sparked my curiosity.  What job do you have? 

How are your math skills?  I know it is said math and spatial go together, but I am much stronger at the former.  Also, did you ever consider being an engineer but decided not to because of spatial skills?

In general, are there specific things you cannot do because of weak spatial skills?

I do not mean to be intrusive, but this seems to be a significantly below average score (no offense), and I am curious how that would affect ones life.

I'm currently unemployed. My life has got into a mess due to trying to finish a Masters degree unsuccessfully (for now, the degree is in History) and anxiety issues. In a month's time I'm planning to start a course in Statistics and Computer Programming ('Data Analytics') partly to lay low while the Irish economy continues to recover as my preferred option (civil service) gets back on the table and also because these are the most employable skills on the market right now.

While it's been a while since I used Maths in a formal setting they are still rather good. When I was younger my teachers thought I was going to be a mathematician. At higher levels in school I struggled though with geometry and trigonometry. Never had any real problems with algebra, or stats. The puzzle-element of Maths I was always good with. I once even explained to my teacher why X^0=1. On the other hand, I was terrible at Physics and while I would like to learn, I always struggle with even basic 'hard science' concepts. Chemistry I found the dullest thing in the world and I was never interested in Biology enough. History and Social Sciences, however, I found naturally easy.

Nothing in particular. Except as I said, be an architect.

That's fine. I'm not sure it does. There are all kinds of things that might be correlated (I can't draw or I don't dream much - and I've even had text based dreams) but I couldn't pinpoint the cause of those.

Interesting response, Gully.  I, like you, absolutely cannot draw.  I chalk it more up to not trying though, as my crap drawings take me 2 minutes to do. 

I am sympathetic and sorry about your employment situation.  Is there a chance you can complete the Masters in history successfully in the future?
