It's not implied. It's absurdly obvious from the way the questions are laid out, and the results the "test" gives depending on which answers you choose.

Read the link someone posted in this thread about gender tests. It explains better than I can why these tests are a waste of electrons.

The test itself does not say "Math and science are not just a guy thing." or "Not only that, but it's rather insulting to women, I think, to assume that men are automatically better at math." you did. That is your bias and interpretation of the questions.

It was me that posted the link: A note on "Gender Tests".

The fact that these tests might help someone to really consider their thoughts and feelings does not seem a "waste of electrons." to me.

The hell it doesn't! Unless you have an entirely different definition of "intelligence" than everyone else....

Spatial reasoning is part of every intelligence test. What do you think it's there for?

And please, everyone can spare me the nonsense going around how "IQ tests are meaningless". If they were meaningless, the military wouldn't use the ASVAB test. They keep using it because it works, and the military does not care about politically correct opinions.

I do question your definition of "intelligence".

Intelligence: the ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills. The capacity for learning, reasoning, understanding, and similar forms of mental activity.

Spatial awareness or spatial reasoning is described as the ability or mental skill to solve spatial problems of navigation, visualization of objects from different angles and space, faces or scenes recognition or to notice fine details.

The term "Spatial Intelligence" is from Frames of Mind: Theory of Multiple Intelligences by Howard Gardner but the term spatial intelligence is largely disputed by psychologists as it is considered an "ability" or "aptitude" not a intelligence.

Spatial awareness plays a critical role in engineering and scientific disciplines but spatial awareness does not mean you are any less or more intelligent as many things make up intelligence.

I am not going to dispute IQ tests as I do one every two years as part of a study into high IQ and dyslexia.
The fact that the military use IQ test is beside the point.
