I got this from, I think, my Dad a few years ago. It's very interesting and is a great thought kick starter!
This does not measure your intelligence, your fluency with words, and certainly not your matematical ability. It will, however, give you some guage of your mental flexability and creativity. In the years since this was developed, few people have solved more than half of the 24 questions on the first try. Many report getting answers long after the test had been set aside, particularly at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed. Some reported solving all of the questions over a period of several days. Take this as our personal challenge.
INSTUCTIONS: Each question below contains the initials of words that will make it correct. Find the missing words for each number.
