Here is a very simple little test comprised of four questions to determine the level of your intellect. Your replies must be spontaneous and immediate, with no deliberating or wasting time... And no cheating!
1.) You are competing in a race and overtake the runner lying in second place. In which position are you now?
Answer: If you answered that you`re now coming first then you`re completely wrong. You overtook the second runner and took their place, therefore you`re coming second. For the next question try not to be so dim.
2.) If you overtake the last runner, what position are you now in?
Answer: If you answered second-last, once again you`re completely wrong. Think about it. How can you over take the person coming last? If you`re behind them then they can`t be last. The answer is impossible! It would appear that thinking is not one of your strong points.
Anyway, here`s another to try, don`t take any notes or use a calculator, and remember your replies must be instantaneous. Take heart!
