Japanese IQ test for job applicants
Apparently this is an IQ test given to job applicants in Japan in which "Everybody has to cross the river". It's an animated game that's both fun and frustrating.
Click to start the test: Japanese IQ Test
Everything is in Japanese, but follow these instructions below if you prefer English. ;-)
It took me about 20 minutes to solve, my boyfriend about 10 minutes.
Instructions
Click on link above and then click on the big blue circle to start. To move the people, click on them. To move the raft, click on the pole on the opposite side of the river. You must follow the rules below.
Rules
- Only 2 people can be on the raft at the same time
- The Father cannot be left alone with either or both of the daughters without their Mother
- The Mother cannot be left alone with either or both of the sons without their Father
- The thief (the redhead in the striped shirt) cannot stay with any family member if the Policeman is not there -- she gets violent
- Only the adults (the Father, the Mother and the Policeman) know how to operate the raft

Rachel - you are right! That script is written in Chinese.
This is a fun game but...
I have a friend who is Japanese and she stated that the writing is Chinese. SOOO this game is a CHINESE IQ TEST.
what is the answer i can't get it
I did it in 42 seconds. Also, my dad is bigger than your dad.
Great Fun! Took about 15 minutes (about 5 attempts) to complete.
5 minutes :-I
this "test" is not japanese, more likely it is chinese. anyhow, it is fun 1:30
This only took me about 2 minutes. Did you know that a 4th grader in japan has to take a harder test than this and has to do it in 2 and a half minutes. I am only 12.
see where I come from our first question would be how deep is it ? and then next - it looks jumpable... the very last option would be to work the raft...
they have a version of this question on a quest in my rpg game. I might have, ahem, looked up the answer. I'm not un-bright, but I'm not patient either and I have moments of being incredibly lazy. hehe :o
This is fun! Thanks.
