If you judge correctly, you are a schizo or a genius. Normal people will fail the test. A genius is different from a schizo, because they can switch at will between normal and schizo thinking. I mostly exercise my schizo thinking on posts here ;-)
I despise watching videos. I read faster than I can watch a video.

In this case, your visual cortex is the point. I enjoy both, but this is a test, not entertainment. A test using text would be used to show some other condition.
I'm already schizoaffective, so it's easy for me to see the illusion in the first part of the video.

I have no idea why this is happens biologically ... I am taking the science of the video on faith ;-) So you emotionally can see both correct answers? (not showing here so as to avoid spoiler). I am not sure if my logic is interfering with my emotional judgement. My emotional expression is poor anyway. On the question of ... if you like both A and B ... then you are likely part of a high IQ population ... I can answer either way on both questions, based on events in my past, vs the way I am now.
So... according to this test, I'm a schizo with high intelligence?
Hah. Right. I dont' think so.
I just went to look at a diffirent video on youtube, using a different mask and then I could see the illusion. But not with this mask in this video.

I can't vouch for it. So on the second part, you do like both A and B? (avoiding spoiler). Or maybe that preference is just because of how life is in Europe vs much of the US.

I voted B and B.
[spoiler]First B: Because lot's off people can stress me out, but not because they are there, but because of traffic and junk. Normal stress, you know? But I've lived in a large city my entire life. It's got nothing to do with intelligence. It's what I'm used to. People I went to school with who lived on a farm in a small community (everything is closeby in belgium) wanted to live in a more rural area. People who grew up in the city, wanted to live in te city. Go figure.[/spoiler]
Finally got around to watching it this morning.
Supposedly, I am a healthy genius person.
I guess I am a normal healthy ungenius person. Got both questions wrong. Par for the course.

If you are Elite, then you can cheat ;-) Sociopathy isn't a problem, it is a necessary condition.

[spoiler]I saw both answers as obvious for both questions.[/spoiler]
I didn't understand the questions.
It was obvious to me that the mask was convex on only one side, and that it was rotating in only one direction. But I already know that, with an IQ of 140, I'm just on the cusp of genius. But so what? It sure hasn't done me much good.
And I guess I've struck a happy medium between happiness and intelligence, according to the last two questions. I don't like crowds, and I don't get lonely. In fact, I treasure solitude more than almost anything else. Only when I'm alone can I approach true peace of mind.

Other than being flipped images, I can't see a difference.
You have to play the animation, there is only one mask in the animation.

Didn't see the play button. sorry. I got both questions right. Now you have to decide what "right" is. LOL!
BTW, you can't have the mask convex in 2 directions.

Yes, you know that, because your mind is working OK. The point is, not everyone can intuit that. They can entertain physical and other contradictions ... which is either crazy or genius.
There's probably a very fine line between insanity and genius - and sometimes they overlap.

Oh, like Trump supportors (he asked "cardily").
Both major parties are innumerate if not insane ...
2+2=3 is Republican
2+2=5 is Democrat
Or maybe just ignorance?
