At 7:48 you talk about a circle disappearing from figure 2 to 3 and then a triangle disappearing as well. But they don't :S Both shapes are present in the center of the next figure :S Regardless, this excerice you are tackling here has a much simpler pattern to it. First, to acknowledging an obvious structure to the figures for communication purposes: All figures have an outer square that remains constant, and within the square - 3 shapes in 3 positions we can call the "inner", "middle" and "outer" positions. Then the simplest pattern in this - reading the 4 figures from left to right: "The shapes move from the center "inner" position through "middle" and to the "outer" position respectively." Why the inner shapes are what they are or "where they come from", seems irrelevant. Also, what "happens" to a shape in the outer position as we move to the next figure, also seems irrelevant to the rule. We nbeed only look at the "inner" and "middle" position. We only need to look at the last figure (figure 4), and since we see a square and a circle in the "inner and middle" position; we want to see them moved one position outwards to the "middle and outer" position, which makes the answer option A.

@ceciliaklinkenbergh8115 6 лет назад

I've come to the same result by observing the sequence of the shapes: T= triangle, C= circle, P= polygon In the 1st 3 sequences, we have from the outer to the inner side : TCP, CPT, PTC Now introducing the square and repeating the same sequence pattern, we have: TCS, CST (A answer)... as the polygon was replaced by the square. The continuation of that would then be: STC !

Brilliant. Thanx! Yours is a much MUCH easier explanation and saves a lot of time!

@xxc6920 6 лет назад

Great video! The last one still got me kind of confused.

@ascentraland9264 6 лет назад

Question 1s answer could be D. If you Count the lines spiked it's going in powers of two. 2^0, 2^1, 2^2 then 2^3.

@KidAFateen 4 года назад

Q1 could also be Fibonacci sequence

@chocubu 6 лет назад

First one (question 5) - why can't the answer be "D"? My theory: first shift is 2. Next, it shifts by 3. Thirdly, it shifts by 5 (which is 2+3; derived by adding the previous two shifts). So the last shift should be a shift by 8 (again, derived by adding the two previous shifts; 3+5). Thus, the answer is "D". This is more of a "sequential" method, as compared to your "prime number" method, I reckon.

Wow u smart

@teamrcket5103 4 года назад

Just follow the pattern, you're thinking about it too much

@PoeRacing 4 года назад

I'm with you on this one Lucas!!! It's the Fibonacci Sequence௹*!!! We have shown there are in fact two possible answers to that particular question thereby breaking the universe!! (This universe had a good run, you will be missed). ==>> For those unfamiliar with the Fibonacci Sequence it is a sequence of numbers such that each number is the sum of the two preceding ones. Starting from zero the sequence appears: (0,) 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, ... It shows up in random nooks and crannies all over the natural sciences. It is the basis for the "Golden Spiral"#***#. Look it up, it is awesome!! Back to this SHL exam B.S. My girlfriend has to take an exam for a Per Diem nursing job application. She is a BSRN ICU nurse with the equivalent of around 20 years experience (She's been working for 11 years but also works insane amounts of overtime). She has a list of certificates that require an extra page on her CV. She is a flat out rock star on every ICU floor she's worked on in 12 different hospitals across 5 different states as a staff nurse, traveler, and Per Diem. Everywhere she goes her colleagues, nursing managers, charge nurses, and doctors all sing her praises. She is VERY good at her job and loves what she does. Patient care is the number one priority to her and she is constantly learning the latests studies and techniques that relate to her position so she can always be the cutting edge best at her job. She is crazy smart and takes her job meticulously serious. It was unusual for me to see her struggling at something academic. Then I saw what she was working on and was like, "Whoa, holy $#!T. This stuff is not falconing around". I am am mechanical engineer and attended a top 20 law school. This stuff looks more like law school entrance exam garbage than a job application!!! She works 12 hour night shifts and overtime like I mentioned so I'm helping her study for this portion of the exam. Right now I'm just learning as much as I can about it so I can give her a condensed lesson in it and maybe show her some shortcuts to work through to get these questions answered as efficiently as possible. English is her second language so she's already used to finding efficiency shortcuts in her study pathways because of the language "barrier" (Language isn't much of a barrier for her these days but certainly was more so when she did her undergrad work 15-20 years ago) -- -- -- #***#(This brought me down a rabbit hole searching for the "Golden Spiral" in any of the RU-vid comment emojis. WHY YOU NO HAVE GOLDEN SPIRAL EMOJI RU-vid??!?!?!?!?!!??!? This little guy was the closest I could find:௹ 😝)

@SultanAlawad 3 года назад

Q1) It first turned 2 units then 2+1=3 after that 3+2=5 and finally 5+3=8. That’s what I think.

@EdmonLazar 7 лет назад

and the reason why I think answer is C is because its introducing a new shape within the big square.. and thats another square shape.

@MIJones-hm5gz 3 года назад

In my opinion the correct answer for the last question with the arrows is Answer B. Because the most outer and inner black arrows has a delayed change pattern after 3 squares. While the black arrow between these two (center), does not follow a pattern at all and could be called a joker. So in the 1st square we can see that the outer black arrow moves down 1 step and then stays that way for 3 squares. Same can be said for the inner black arrow. From the 1st square to the 2nd square it changes direction from pointing left to right and then stays that way for 3 squares. So then it should be concluded that in the 5th square, which they are asking us for, the Outer and Inner arrow should now be different. The outer black arrow should have moved 1 step from the bottom left to the bottom right. And the most inner black arrow should now be going from pointing right to left. So is it answer A or B then? Well to determine that, the center arrow (aka joker arrow) can be seen starting to move by 1 in the 3rd square. Which concludes that it keeps moving by 1 for at least 3 square to then stay the same. Which only then leaves us with the Correct Answer being B. This is my take on it and what kind of pattern I see and feel should be the correct one. I dont see how the correct answer can be C at all.

@DaAbdalion 7 лет назад

Number 13 is D). Figure goes from the center to the outter layer. If it is a square, when it comes again in the inner layer, it looses a corner. So first is a pentagon, then a square and then a triangle.

@JustGiselle87 8 лет назад

How can you be left with D when you have just eliminated that? You don't need to include that because it's clearly not the answer as the triangle is in the wrong place and all the shapes need to follow the patterns.

@Buckley2023 8 лет назад

I thought the same thing and you're right but I guess he made a mistake

@devmackoy 8 лет назад

I think the triangle is an exception for all of the shapes. Whenever it is in outermost then it should be already included in the next pattern.

@GradTests 8 лет назад

You guys are right. For the second question that I go through, I eliminated d) straight away, because the triangle was in the incorrect place, leaving me with a), b) and c) as the potential options. Looking at the moon pattern, it then became clear that only b) and d) had it in the correct position. Having already eliminated d), therefore b) had to be the correct answer. So we got to the correct answer in the end, but slightly inefficiently. Candidates tell this is a mistake that they often make themselves (they forget which answers they've already ruled out). My best bit of advice - especially if your memory is not strong like mine - is to maybe just jot down on paper the answer which you've already rejected. I'll add a correction to the video.

IHOPe that I get a good grade on my gifted and tantalnTtesy i rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrerrreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesaaasaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllyyyyyyhope

@xiaomengzhu5793 6 лет назад

Here is my reason why A is the correct answer for Q13. Let’s look at each shape by itself , and number the order from inside to outside as 123 , eg for the triangle , the pattern is 3123, so my next number is 1 again, the smallest one, that’ll give me a or d as answer; then the circular , 2312 next one 3 , the biggest one , so I can lock my answer in now for a , but just to test this method is correct , I have the 五边形 , however you call it in English :) it went 123 and change to a square but still 1 , with the same logic it should be 2 next with that same shape , so answer is a . It think this test is ridiculous and I hope I can pass it for my job interview:(

@suleman2779 7 лет назад

question 11 - I agree with all the first arguments, but when it comes to the "shadow" it actually does not match up does it? Yes It shifts between 2 and 1, but the positioning is a bit harder. first it moves to the next "segment" to the right,, than it skips one, than it skips 2, so next time is should skip 3, but that pattern does not hold up in B (or any other pattern for that matter)...

@zachery1christopher 7 лет назад

Suleman Kukka Salam i think the shades can fit. Lets focus on a couple of possible factors. We could be counting the spaces from the front most piece , obviously the alternating of 1 piece to 2 pieces ..however... maybe the expanding of pieces is from making a piece behind it (presumed to be step #1) then collapsing and then expanding in the front and then collapsing into a piece and the next time it will ecpand behind that piece, also, with each time focusing on tyne front most piece (the most clockwise piece) and moving from 1 piece ahead of the leading piece,then 2...then 3 ... finally 4.... I hope this somewhat explains a process in my mind. Not to say it is correct or even thought of for this test, but just a thought process.

@chrisangelina4244 6 лет назад

Thank you i get it now

@GradTests 6 лет назад

No worries. Glad to help!

@EdmonLazar 7 лет назад

mate question 13 the correct answer is C not A, the circle didn't disappear like you said in the 3rd shape the circle is still there but its gone smaller.

@eduardoalcala8310 4 года назад

Question 5 would be answer D according to the Fibonacci Sequence but answer B according to Prime Number Sequence :( so that would be an ambiguous issue. How would we determine the correct approach?

@remimonsel9944 4 года назад

same for question 1, it could be 7 moves if we consider primer number but 8 if we consider the addition of the two last moves.

@Gunjan139 8 лет назад

What is the benefit of this test for Reservation Agent in Airline ??

@GradTests 8 лет назад

+Gunjan139 I would suggest this test isn't particularly relevant for that type of role, other than the fact it is a general measure of intelligence, and I'm sure the airlines would like clever folk working for them. Other than that, I'm surprised it would be used for recruitment into a role such as that.

@annaedvardsen4317 4 года назад

This is a problem solution indicator, to see how well (and how creatively) you could solve a possible problem. As i have worked as a reservation agent for an airline myself in the past, i can assure you, it's a much needed skill! However, I am surprised they included this into the hiring process. I didn't have to do anything even remotely related to this. All though, for me it was nearly two decades ago

@indrajit0072 7 лет назад

I think if the question and the ans of option A had a pentagon in the inner side of the diagram 4 then every picture can be correlated & we don't have to think otherwise....U r talking about disappear but they aren't,they are included in the inner side

@thanostsarbos1197 6 лет назад

Question 13 is flawed. There's a mistake and noone can give a clear answer...

@thedarkdivinity7525 6 лет назад

triangle>Circle>pentagon>triangle So what is next? Circle! A) and D) are both circle. But D inner 2 shape REPEAT ITSELF! none of other shape there repeat itself any where. So D is wrong. Which leave only A.

@oyuyuy 7 лет назад

Stupid test taker. The last question is pure guessing. Nothing of what he said pointed towards a pattern. You can't just ignore the first figure. Secondly, true logical tests require no previous knowledge such as prime numbers, which is why I think he's wrong on the first question too. Prime numbers have no simple pattern, but rather a formula. A more logical solution would be a Fibonacci sequence, where the next number is the sum of the two previous: 0,1,1,2,3,5,8,13... Thus, 2+3=5, 3+5=8. 8 steps forward from the 4th figure means D is the correct answer. It makes a whole lot more sense

@Mattslayerable 6 лет назад

yes that's what I thought as well, the number of jumped segments = combined number of jumped segments of previous 2

@mixyguy6 6 лет назад

so did I , but logical tests require NO previous knowledge such as prime numbers, is it true???

@ruusG 6 лет назад

No I think it is C. When the inner arrow is pointing left, the outer colour rotates anti-clockwise. When it is pointing right, the middle colour rotates clockwise. You usually only have around 30 seconds to do these so it’s best not to overthink them

@summeraprilrose22 4 года назад

Agreed. It's more of between A and B for me. Not convinced at all regarding the answer of the last part.

@kristynamarkova4376 7 лет назад

Hi all, I don´t understand the first (prime numbers) exercise. Okay, it goes from 2 to 3 to 5 but then the next one can be 8 as a sequence like this: 2 (+1) -> 3 (+2) -> 5 (+3) -> 8, isn´t it possible? Thanks for any explanation why this is not correct :) !

@awaqar2 7 лет назад

you missed him saying: the next prime number is 7. so 7 not 8. hope it makes sense

@awaqar2 7 лет назад

prime numbers are those number which are divisible by 1 and only themselves. they do not appear as multiples in any other times tables.

@Simon-lb2iu 7 лет назад

Exactly. This was my answer as well based on the same reasoning. It could be either. In fact i think this answer is more logical...

@albertarce1135 7 лет назад

Kristýna Marková you're right, I have the same result with another reasoning, using degrees as the shape suggested, goes in increments of 30°, first 30° then 60° then 90°... So the secuence is 60°, 90°, 150°, 240°.

@rumble1925 6 лет назад

I saw a different pattern. Skip 1, Skip 2, Skip 4, Skip 8. Prime numbers don't make sense to use in a general test like this.

@oasacorp 7 лет назад

For the question 13, another way to look at it is, the outer shape goes inside in the next sequence.

@shaliheen 6 лет назад

Grade and best

@EdmonLazar 7 лет назад

SORRY BUT QUESTION 13 IS WRONG. THE CIRCLE ISN'T DISAPPEARING ITS GOING BACK TO A SMALLER CIRCLE NEITHER IS THE TRIANGLE ETC....

@KevinMullarkey 8 лет назад

On Q 10 you already eliminated D so answer MUST be B, yet you brought back D into the options? This negates the whole process of elimination which you are trying to demonstrate. I suggest you redo the video as this clearly flawed and confusing.

@GradTests 8 лет назад

H Kevin. I've added a note to point out the issue. You are right, it was confusing.

@azizalriddan8998 6 лет назад

I think the correct answer is A

@Luckyimnotu 8 лет назад

The prime number theory does not make sense. rather the 'hand' moves 10 hrs anti-clockwise, the second goes 9 hrs, 8hrs and finally to get the answer. move 7 hrs anti-clockwise. It will give you answer B. 2 is not a prime number last time I checked

@elisabelification 8 лет назад

You might want to check again..

@GradTests 8 лет назад

+masie azizi 2 is indeed a prime number, as it's only divisible by itself and 1. 2 is the only even prime number.

@Guarkolo 8 лет назад

where did you check? i just want to know what websites to avoid...

@JustGiselle87 8 лет назад

that's not true. 2 can be divided by 1.

@devmackoy 8 лет назад

It is a prime number. Prime number is any number divisible by itself only.

@riichikosher3209 8 лет назад

15/25 doesn't seem to quite make sense how it's a consistent pattern

@GradTests 8 лет назад

Hi Riichi, if you elaborate a little on why you think the pattern isn't consistent, I can explain the correct answer in more detail. Thanks, Tim

@niqwilk 7 лет назад

the outer arrow and inner arrow changed after the first frame then stayed the same for 3. I would think it is more likely that they change every 3 frames then to assume both the outer and inner filling and orientation stay the same for the 4th time in a row, no?

@creacog 4 года назад

The way i am reading q15, the inner arrow governs which colour moves in the next step. When it points left, the colour in the outer arrows moves anti-clockwise. When it points right, the colour in the inner arrows moves clockwise I don't see what triggers the inner arrow to flip between steps 1 and 2, nor is there enough information to indicate when it might flip back. But with the information available and the above rules I also get C as the answer

None of this is about patterns. This is about assumptions. You're assuming there is actually a pattern within 3 or 4 items that repeats? Terrible assumption. People who are actually intelligent really struggle with these tests. These are for rule followers and not creative, intelligent folks.

first question is bullshit. you can think of the increase in moving segments as the fibonacci sequence ie 2 3 5 *8* so you can reason that we move 8 segments instead of the claimed 7.
