1. THERMOMETER is to TEMPERATURE as SCALE is to:
- A. Height
- B. Weight
- C. Balance
- D. Kitchen
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Weight
The relationship is instrument to the quantity it measures. A thermometer measures temperature, so a scale measures weight. Balance is wrong because it is another instrument rather than a quantity, and kitchen is only a place where you might find one. On analogy items, name the relationship in words before you look at the options, because the wrong answers are usually words that are merely associated with the first pair.
2. Which word is most nearly OPPOSITE in meaning to SCARCE?
- A. Plentiful
- B. Costly
- C. Hidden
- D. Fragile
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. Plentiful
Scarce means there is very little of something available, so its opposite is plentiful. Costly is the trap, because scarce things are often expensive, but price is a consequence of scarcity rather than its meaning. Watch for that pattern on opposite items: the distractor is frequently a word that travels with the target word instead of one that reverses it.
3. What number comes next in this series? 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ...
- A. 36
- B. 40
- C. 42
- D. 44
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. 42
Look at the gaps rather than the numbers: 4, 6, 8, 10. The gaps grow by 2 each time, so the next gap is 12 and the next term is 30 plus 12, which is 42. Subtracting neighboring terms is the first thing to try on any series, and if the differences are not obvious, check whether each term is being multiplied or divided instead.
4. Complete the sentence.
A delivery van covers 150 miles in 3 hours, then 120 miles in the next 2 hours. Its average speed for the whole trip is _____ miles per hour.
Muligheder for felt 1: 52, 54, 55, 60
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: 54
Average speed is total distance divided by total time, so it is 270 miles over 5 hours, which is 54 miles per hour. The tempting answer is 55, from averaging the two leg speeds of 50 and 60. That shortcut only works when the two legs take the same amount of time, and here the first leg took longer, so it pulls the average toward the slower speed.
5. Assume these two statements are true: all welders at the plant wear gloves, and Ivan wears gloves. Is this third statement true, false or uncertain? Ivan is a welder.
- A. True
- B. False
- C. Uncertain, because the plant may hire welders who do not wear gloves
- D. Uncertain, because people other than welders also wear gloves
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. Uncertain, because people other than welders also wear gloves
The first statement says every welder wears gloves. It does not say that only welders wear gloves, so a glove wearer could be a painter, a cleaner or a visitor. Concluding that Ivan is a welder runs the rule backwards, which is one of the most common errors on deduction items. The other uncertain option is wrong for a different reason: it contradicts a statement you were told to accept as true.
6. Two of these sentences mean the same thing. Select both.
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. The meeting was canceled and will not be rescheduled.
- B. The meeting was postponed until Thursday.
- C. The meeting was moved up to Tuesday.
- D. The meeting will now be held on Thursday.
- E. Everyone agreed that Thursday was too late for a meeting.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. The meeting was postponed until Thursday., D. The meeting will now be held on Thursday.
Postponed until Thursday and will now be held on Thursday describe the same outcome in different words. Canceled means there is no new date at all, moved up means an earlier date, and the last sentence is an opinion about Thursday rather than a statement about when the meeting happens. On these items, reduce each sentence to who did what and when, then compare those bare facts instead of the wording.
7. The 3rd of a month falls on a Friday. What day of the week is the 25th of that same month?
- A. Thursday
- B. Friday
- C. Saturday
- D. Sunday
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. Saturday
The 25th is 22 days after the 3rd. Divide 22 by 7 and you get 3 weeks with 1 day left over, so the answer is one day past Friday, which is Saturday. Counting on your fingers works but burns time. Subtract the dates, divide by 7, and move forward by the remainder.
8. TENACIOUS most nearly means:
- A. Temporary
- B. Persistent
- C. Careless
- D. Generous
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: B. Persistent
Tenacious describes someone who holds on and does not let go, so persistent is the closest match. If a word is unfamiliar, look for a root you recognize before you guess. Tenacious shares its root with tenant and tenure, which are both about holding something, and that thread usually points you at the right half of the option list.
9. Complete the sentence.
In the series 1, 4, 2, 8, 3, 12, 4, the next number is _____.
Muligheder for felt 1: 5, 13, 16, 20
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: 16
This is two series woven together. The numbers in the odd positions count up 1, 2, 3, 4, and the numbers in the even positions run 4, 8, 12, so the next even position holds 16. When the differences in a series jump around wildly, try reading every other term before you try anything else, because interleaving is a favorite trick on aptitude tests.
10. Which of these numbers are divisible by both 3 and 4?
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. 24
- B. 36
- C. 42
- D. 54
- E. 60
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. 24, B. 36, E. 60
Since 3 and 4 share no common factor, being divisible by both is the same as being divisible by 12. That gives 24, 36 and 60. Neither 42 nor 54 divides evenly by 4, even though both divide by 3. Checking one multiple of 12 is faster than running two separate division tests on every option.
11. Sixteen of the 40 items in a shipment arrived damaged. What percent of the shipment was damaged?
- A. 16 percent
- B. 24 percent
- C. 36 percent
- D. 40 percent
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: D. 40 percent
A percent is the part divided by the whole, so it is 16 divided by 40, which is 0.4, or 40 percent. The first option is there to catch anyone who grabs the number from the question instead of doing the division, and the second is 40 minus 16. Under time pressure, name the part and the whole out loud before you divide.
12. AUTHOR is to BOOK as COMPOSER is to:
- A. A symphony
- B. An orchestra
- C. A concert hall
- D. A violin
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. A symphony
The relationship is creator to the work created. An author writes a book, so a composer writes a symphony. An orchestra performs the work, a concert hall houses the performance and a violin is a tool used in it, so all three are related to music without matching the relationship in the first pair. Matching the relationship, not the subject area, is the whole skill on analogy items.
13. Complete both blanks.
The word concise most nearly means _____. The word most nearly opposite in meaning to concise is _____.
Muligheder for felt 1: brief, confusing, detailed, polite
Muligheder for felt 2: short, wordy, accurate, quiet
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: brief, wordy
Concise means saying something in few words while keeping the meaning, so brief is the match and wordy is the opposite. Short is the trap in the second blank because it is a synonym rather than an opposite, and under time pressure people grab the first familiar word they see. Read what the blank is asking for, synonym or opposite, before you scan the options.
14. Assume both statements are true: every item on the top shelf is fragile, and nothing fragile is shipped by truck. Which conclusions must also be true?
Vælg alle, der passer.
- A. No item on the top shelf is shipped by truck.
- B. Everything fragile is on the top shelf.
- C. Anything shipped by truck is not on the top shelf.
- D. Some fragile items are shipped by truck.
- E. Every item that is not on the top shelf is shipped by truck.
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: A. No item on the top shelf is shipped by truck., C. Anything shipped by truck is not on the top shelf.
Chain the two statements: top shelf leads to fragile, and fragile leads to not shipped by truck, so top shelf leads to not shipped by truck. The second correct option is the same statement read backwards, which is always valid when you also flip both sides. The wrong options either reverse a rule without flipping it, or contradict a statement you were told to accept.
15. A coat is marked down 20 percent and now sells for 32 dollars. What was the price before the markdown?
- A. 36.00 dollars
- B. 38.40 dollars
- C. 40.00 dollars
- D. 44.00 dollars
Vis svar og forklaring
Svar: C. 40.00 dollars
After a 20 percent markdown the coat sells for 80 percent of the old price, so 32 is 0.8 of the answer. Divide 32 by 0.8 and you get 40. The trap is adding 20 percent to 32, which gives 38.40, and it fails because the discount was taken from the larger original price, not from the smaller sale price. Check any answer of this kind by running it forward: 20 percent of 40 is 8, and 40 minus 8 is 32.
Hvad Wonderlic faktisk måler
Wonderlic er en kort test af generelle evner, som arbejdsgivere bruger til at screene ansøgere. Standardformen er 50 spørgsmål på 12 minutter. Det ene faktum betyder mere end noget andet ved den. Tolv minutter til 50 spørgsmål er cirka 14 sekunder per spørgsmål, så næsten ingen når til enden. Det er mindst lige så meget en hastighedstest som en test af ræsonnement, og spørgsmålene bliver sværere, jo længere du kommer, hvilket betyder, at de sidste opgaver både er de sværeste og dem, du har mindst tid til.
Selve spørgsmålene er ikke specialiserede. Der er ingen fagviden på den og intet fag, du kan læse op aftenen før. Du får verbale analogier, ordbetydning og modsætninger, talrækker, korte tekstopgaver i regning, logisk deduktion, dato- og kalenderlogik, og opgaver der spørger, hvilke to sætninger der betyder det samme. Alle, der har afsluttet en ungdomsuddannelse, har mødt det hele før. Det, testen i virkeligheden måler, er, hvor hurtigt du kan skifte mellem de måder at tænke på uden at miste præcisionen.
Scoren er et råt tal: hvor mange af de 50 du fik rigtige. Der er ingen straf for et forkert svar, så en blank og et forkert gæt koster det samme. Hvad der tæller som et godt resultat, kan hverken denne side eller nogen anden side fortælle dig, for forskellige arbejdsgivere sætter forskellige grænser, og den samme arbejdsgiver sætter ofte forskellige grænser for forskellige stillinger. Betyder en score noget for dig, så spørg arbejdsgiveren eller rekruttereren, hvad de bruger, i stedet for at stole på et tal, du har læst på nettet. Testen blev bredt kendt, fordi hold i NFL brugte den ved scoutingarrangementet NFL combine i mange år, men den daglige brug har altid været almindelig rekruttering. Der findes også kortere former og en version, som nogle skoler bruger, så tjek, hvilken du faktisk skal op til.
Sådan bruger du smagsprøven
De her 15 spørgsmål er skrevet i Wonderlic-stil, men de er en anelse tungere end de rigtige, så sigt efter cirka 30 sekunder per spørgsmål frem for 14. Denne side er ikke på tid. Pointen her er at finde ud af, hvilke måder at tænke på der sinker dig, og et ur i baggrunden gør det sværere at se, ikke lettere. Når du kender dine svage typer, så sæt selv uret til: giv dig selv 12 minutter, tag så mange blandede spørgsmål du kan, og hold øje med, hvad der sker med din præcision, når presset er på.
To vaner er værd at bygge op allerede nu. Den første er at svare på alt. Da et forkert svar ikke koster mere end et blankt, er et ubesvaret spørgsmål et garanteret nul, og et gæt er det ikke. Den anden er at nægte at slå lejr. En stædig tekstopgave kan stille og roligt æde et minut, hvilket på den rigtige test er fire eller fem lettere spørgsmål, du aldrig nåede at se. Løser et spørgsmål sig ikke på få sekunder, så vælg dit bedste bud og gå videre.
Læs forklaringen til hvert spørgsmål, når du er færdig, også til dem du svarede rigtigt på, for et heldigt gæt og et solidt svar ser ens ud på scoreskærmen. Vær særligt opmærksom på regneopgaverne. Procenter, gennemsnit og hastigheder er den del af testen, der reagerer mest på almindelig træning, og det er også der, det fristende forkerte svar som regel bor.
Sådan bygger StudyPDF fulde øveprøver ud fra dit eget materiale
Femten spørgsmål kan vise dig, hvilke spørgsmålstyper der sinker dig. De kan ikke gøre dig klar alene, og en generisk spørgsmålsbank aner ikke, at din hovedregning er fin, men at talrækker taber dig hver gang.
StudyPDF arbejder ud fra dit eget materiale i stedet. Du uploader den bog om evnetests, du har købt, den øvepakke en rekrutterer har sendt dig, eller dine egne gamle matematiknoter, så bygger Bo, studieagenten, fuldlange øveprøver ud fra præcis de sider. Hvert spørgsmål bygger på dit materiale, og hver forklaring henviser til, hvor svaret kommer fra, så du kan gå direkte til kilden, når noget ser forkert ud. Du kan lave nye prøver så tit du vil, snævre dem ind til én spørgsmålstype som talrækker eller procenttekstopgaver, og følge med i, hvad du bliver ved med at ramme forkert.
Du behøver ikke uploade noget for at komme i gang. Har du ingen fil ved hånden, så nævn et emne i stedet, for eksempel verbale analogier eller gennemsnit og hastigheder, så skriver Bo en øveprøve ud fra det. Gratis at komme i gang.
