Re: self-referential aptitude test

Question 20 throws the entire test off... A Barometer measures atmospheric pressure, not temperature or wind velocity and lat/long doesn't have an effect on it...

Re: self-referential aptitude test

Actually, if you consider E as an answer, you can see how they all apply to air pressure. Temperature and pressure are always directly related, wind velocity is another form of pressure, and lat/long could be semi deciphered using a barometer..... idk that's the only thing I can figure for it.... >,<;

Re: self-referential aptitude test

I'm stumped b/c of questions 9,10,13,and 16.... 10 and 16 are directly related, and I have what I think is the only possible answer marked... which forces my answer to question 9, however question 13 disrupts the whole process, if you look at those 4 questions and get the same answers I did, you should see the problem.

Re: self-referential aptitude test

my house of cards otherwise known as my answers has effectively been knocked over once I went back and looked at the first question.... I guess I'll just come back later and try again >,<;

It's E. "Standardized test is to intelligence" is taken to mean "standardized test DOES NOT measure intelligence." By relationship, a barometer does not measure any of the listed values, so it's E.
