Abstract reasoning tests on the other hand, seem to consist of questions which have little or no application in the real world. Yet these types of question appear in most graduate and management aptitude tests. Why is this?  \nAbstract reasoning tests date back to the research done by the psychologist Charles Spearman in the 1920’s. Spearman used a statistical technique called factor analysis to examine relationships between people’s scores on different types of intelligence tests.  \nHe concluded that people who do well on some intelligence tests also do well on others (e.g. vocabulary, mathematics, spatial abilities) . Conversely, if people do poorly on an intelligence test, they also tended to do poorly on other intellectual tests. This led him to believe that there are one or more factors that are common to all intellectual tasks.  \nAs a result of this research Spearman developed a two-factor theory of intelligence.  \ng-General Ability  \ns-Specific Abilities  \nAs the diagram shows, Spearman said that intelligence is mainly made up of ‘g’, with bright people having a lot, and dull people having less. Spearman defined ‘g’ as:  \n“the innate ability to perceive relationships and educe co-relationships”  \nCopyright [www.psychometric-success.com](www.psychometric-success.com) Page 􀀲  \nAbstrAct reAsoning—PrActice test 1  \nIf we replace the word ‘educe’ with ‘work out’ then you can see why abstract reasoning questions are seen to be a good measure of general intelligence, as they test your ability to perceive relationships and then to work out any co-relationships without you requiring any knowledge of language or mathematics.  \nAbstract reasoning tests use diagrams, symbols or shapes instead of words or numbers. They involve identifying the underlying logicofa pattern and then determining the solution. Because they are visual questions and are independent of language and mathematical ability, they are considered to be an accurate indicator of your general intellectual ability as well as being ‘culturally fair’.  \nCopyright [www.psychometric-success.com](www.psychometric-success.com) Page 􀀳  \nAbstrAct reAsoning—PrActice test 1  \nTest 1—25 Questions  \nAnswer as many questions as you can in 20 minutes.
