I am sure I have listed the answers emode considers correct. I disagreed with them on the choice of some questions.

For e.g. number 4 is a ridiculous question, you suggest an answer that is ironic and frankly why not? There is no such thing as a correct answer for that.

But there is an answer that makes more sense. Because of the use of the word "even" they are looking for a contrast.

I agree with you about number 16. That is simply a mistake on emode's part. They include an answer that is a much better answer than what they expect.

16 is their worst question.

I forgot to post the shapes for 33 and I don't remember them. But your line of thinking would be sound if true.

40 was the one I liked the most. The pattern is, indeed weak but it was the only one that made me think. The weakness of the pattern is it's strength.

Anywho, welome to Able2Know! Better timewasters here.

The Model IQ Test

Question 1: Please enter the missing figure: 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, ...

EXPLANTION:- The right answer is: 34. Reason: The two previous numerals are added. Example: 3 + 5 = 8


EXPLANTION:-

The right answer is: 125. Reason: Multiply the previous numeral by 3 and deduct 7 from the result. Example: 4 x 3 = 12; 12 - 7 = 5. Or (4+3^0)=5, (5+3^1)=8, (8+3^2)=17, (17+3^3)=44 ==> (44+3^4)=125


EXPLANTION:-

The right answer is: 58. The starting numeral is 3 in position 1. The following numeral is 3 + (1 x 1) Example: 8 + (3 x 3) = 17


EXPLANTION:-

The right answer is: 1. The sequence consists of the odd numerals descending from 11.


EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: 2160. Reason: The following numeral is always the previous numeral multiplied by an integer. This numeral increases by 1 with each step. Example: 3 x 2 = 6; 6 x 3 = 18; 18 x 4 = 72; 72 x 5 = 360; 360 x 6 = 2160

Question 6: Please enter the missing figure: 30, 29, 27, 26, 24, 23, 21, 20, ...

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: 18. Reason: Continuous descending sequence, with every third number missing.

Question 7: Please enter the missing character: A, D, G, J, ...

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: M. Reason: Continuous descending sequence, with every third character missing: The following character is always three steps behind the previous character. Example: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, …

Question 8: Please enter the missing character: D, G, K, N, R, ...

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: U. Reason: The following character alternates between being two or three steps behind the previous character. Example: D, E, F, G, H, I, J K, …

Question 9: Please enter the missing character: B, C, E, H, L, ...

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: Q. Reason: With every step the number of characters skipped increases by one. Example: B, C, D, E, F, G, H, …

Question 10: Please insert the missing character to form two words: HUM ...ORK

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: P. Reason: Hump; Pork

Question 11: Please insert the missing character to form two words: SLO...IDE

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: T or W or B. Reason: (Slot - Tide) or (Slow - Wide) or (Slob - Bide)

Question 12: Please insert the missing character to form two words: VEI...ASER

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: L. Reason: Veil; Laser

Question 13:Please mark the word not matching the other words (odd one out): London, Paris, Dublin, Den Haag, Vienna

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: Den Haag. Reason: Den Haag is not a capital. Please do not send us any e-mail claiming Den Haag is the capital. Den Haag is the centre of the Government, and the capital is Amsterdam. Please take our word for this!

Question 14:Please mark the word not matching (content) the other words (odd one out): Whale, Shark, Herring, Carp, Pike

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: Whale. Reason: Whales are mammals.

Question 15:Please mark the word not matching (content) the other words (odd one out): Edgar Allan Poe, Henry Adams, Jack London, Ernest Hemingway, Daniel Defoe

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: Defoe. Reason: Defoe was not an American writer.


EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: c. Reason: The lowest objects are always identical. Therefore the lowest object has to be a large square. One of the objects is always hollow, the other one is not.


EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: d. Reason: The objects alternate between being in the horizontal and the vertical position. Both ends are always equal.


EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: b or d. Reason: Each object has one corner (solution d) or one line (solution b) less than the previous one.

Question 19:

Please find the figure continuing the series:

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: a. Reason: The current picture always shows one square less than the previous picture. The current picture always shows one more circle than the previous picture.


EXPLANTION:

Reason: The right answer is: c. First an ellipse, then a circle, then another ellipse - we are therefore dealing with a circle. As each figure is only half solid the answer must be c.


EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: e. Reason: The small figures are shifted upwards or downwards.


EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: c. Reason: In each row the signs point to a different direction. In addition, in each row one circle appears solid, one circle appears half solid, and one circle appears hollow.

Question 23: Please find the odd one:

EXPLANTION:

The right answer is: c. Reason: All figures are rectangular, c is a triangle; e is also correct as it is the only figure that is not symmetrical.

Question 24: Please find the odd one:
