Note on "Space, Time and Hyperspace"

The visual-spatial section of the Test For Genius, "Space, Time and Hyperspace" (1995), is the first of its kind, the inspiration and category creator for the many more or less similar high-range visual-spatial "draw the answer" tests that followed in the genre created by it. Its tantalizing nature has driven more than one poor megalomanic soul over the edges of one's sanity into devoting one's life to debunking and invalidating this object of one's so very understandable frustration and disappointment. So watch it.
