Talk:Inductive reasoning aptitude

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Research has been going on in the field of aptitides for 80 years or so. I believe that is is a study worthy of a Wikipedia article. Since no-one has written an article or articles in this area I am doing my best.

I removed the unenecyclopedic tag because whoever put it up has not made ANY comment on the discussion page about why they believe it is unencyclopedic, as such, there seems to be no justification for having the tag up since Inductive reasoning aptitude is a real and relevant topic from psychology, cognition and intelligence related studies. A google search reveals 89,000 hits. --I 01:45, 11 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] What is the Answer to the Question

We need to know the answer to learn anything about aptitude from the question. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.30.135.146 (talk) 05:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

• (a) is 4 consecutive letters, the others are all in the pattern 1243. (d) is the only one without a normal vowel. This is why I hate these questions, there's often more than one valid answer. Quite possibly you could find more by examining things like number of strokes, letter shape, etc. Rahulchandra (talk) 04:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Agreed. It's also culturally biased towards those using the Western alphabet, and as such, would unlikely be used in any (well-thought out) test of Intelligence.
