Here’s a question that might be a tricky one to answer once you really put some thought into it: do you consider yourself to be a smart person? While you might be quick to say “yes, of course I’m smart, how dare you question my smartness?”, let’s take a moment to think about all the different ways of measuring intelligence. According to Sternberg’s Triarchic Theory of Intelligence, there are three different types of intelligence: practical intelligence, creative intelligence, and analytical intelligence. Let’s break them down, shall we?
Practical intelligence is what Sternberg called “one’s ability to successfully interact with the everyday world”. It has to do with how well people are able to adapt to their environment and do what they have to do to succeed in that environment. Creative intelligence is how well a person is able to use the knowledge they already have to come up with new ways to cope with new situations. And lastly, analytical intelligence is basically equivalent to academic intelligence, aka book smarts. If you succeeded in math and science when you were in school and did well on standardized tests, you probably have a high level of analytical intelligence.
And that brings us back to the test you’re about to take. It involves a series of logic puzzles that, on the surface, seem like they’d be tailor-made for those with a high level of analytical intelligence. And while that definitely is true to some respect, you’ll also need to use your creative intelligence in order to look outside the box and figure out exactly what each question is asking you. Because they’re all so-called “trick” questions, it can be easy to overlook the answer that’s usually right in front of you.
Any standardized test in the world pales in comparison with this quiz full of trick questions. So, are you ready to get started? Complete these tricky brain puzzles to prove you’re as smart as you think you are!
But don’t worry; we won’t tell anyone if you totally bomb it! (But we do suggest you give it another shot. Your score can only improve, right?)
