Wonderlic logic questions

Ordering questions

“Anna is taller than Ben. Ben is taller than Chloe.” Write the names in a line as you read them. A line on scratch paper is faster and safer than doing it in your head.

Syllogisms

If all A are B and all B are C, then all A are C. The common trap is reversing it: “all A are B” does not mean all B are A. Check that the conclusion goes in the same direction as the statements.

Calendar questions

Count forward from a known day. Reduce the number of days to a remainder over seven and add it to today. Ten days on is three days on (10 − 7 = 3).
