Test 1. Logical Thinking - Numerical Correlations

This test assesses the logical aspect of thinking.

Within 5 minutes you should find the correlations in the 7 numerical rows and guess the missing numbers.

Make sure you are in good condition, focus ... , go!


a/ 24   21   19   18   15   13   _    _    7

b/   1    4     9   16    _     _   49   64  81  100

c/ 16   17   15   18   14   19    _    _

g/  1     3     6     8   16   18    _    _   76   78

e/  7    26   19     5   21   16    9    _    4

f/   2     4     8    10   20   22   _    _   92   94

g/ 24   22   19   15    _     _


Just one paragraph seperates you from the answers.  If you have strictly followed the time limit of 5 minutes it is normal to hit at least 5 of the 7 answers.


Whatever the outcome is please do not forget that a single test can not provide sufficient objective assessment of your ability to discover correlations.  And of course, managers experience tougher problems with the processes they have to set as people are much more complex than the numerical correlations. But let's go from easy to hard !

The answers:
a/ 12  9;   b/ 25  36;   c/ 13  20;   d/ 13  20;   e/ 13;   f/ 44  46;   g/ 10  4.
