Alphabet Soup

[dave is ok]

This test does not measure your intelligence, your fluency with words, and certainly not your mathematical ability. It will, however, give you some gauge of your mental flexibility and creativity. In the years since the test was developed, few people were able to solve more than half of the 26 questions on the first try. Many, however, reported 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 a personal challenge.
