Stable reasoning that traces the grounds from premises to conclusions.
Verbal Reasoning Test Vol.2
Quantify verbal reasoning across four sub-skills — analogies, word relations, inference, and constraints — in 16 questions. Correctness is graded into an overall score and level, with a per-sub-skill breakdown, per-question results and explanations, strengths and growth areas, and study steps.
[Vol.2] A new 16-question set. A deep-dive verbal-reasoning test measuring four sub-skills — analogies, word relations, inference, and constraints — across 16 questions. It grades your answers into an overall score and level, and shows a sub-skill radar, per-question results with explanations, strengths and growth areas, and a study plan. About 5–8 minutes.
What this assessment measures
Test result
Your level inferred from your score on 16 questions
The foundation is there; tightening how you link premises will lift you.
Begin by getting used to the language of logic; diagramming will steady you.
Example result report
Proficient
You reason from premises to conclusions by tracing the grounds — stable and reliable.
PassOverall score and pass line
Ability profile
Your score across ability domains (out of 100)
Domain-by-domain analysis
Spotting the relation between two words and choosing the word that fits the same relation. Naming the relation type (part-whole, tool-function, etc.) keeps it steady.
Grasping how words connect — synonym, antonym, part-whole, category. Identifying which kind of relation it is reduces hesitation.
Drawing only what a short text guarantees. Resisting the converse and inverse, and using contrapositive and elimination precisely, keeps it stable.
Organizing several verbal conditions to pin down a seating or ordering. Turning the clues into a diagram or table makes it reliable.
Your strengths
You check the grounds and choose what can be stated with certainty.
You judge the link between premises and conclusion calmly.
You stay focused through to the end within the time.
Next challenges
A perfect score — well done. Try a harder problem set next.
Shorten the time limit and aim to keep both speed and accuracy.
Deepen negation, converse, and contrapositive until you can teach them.
Detailed analysis
This test measures logical reasoning across several ability domains. You reached the proficient level, with a steady grip on judging exactly what the premises guarantee. Your domain strengths and weak spots are shown directly in the radar and the per-question results above. For any item you missed, retrace 'why this option is correct' in its explanation, and a perfect score is within reach. Keep resisting reversal errors and over-generalization.
Question review
Q1
Page is to book as room is to ___?
Correct: C) house
A page is a part of a book. By the same 'part → whole' relation, a room is a part of a house (C). A door, window, or roof is itself a part of a house, not the whole that a room belongs to.
Q2
Which word is the opposite of “open”?
Correct: B) closed
Open and closed are opposites. Wide, new, and heavy each describe unrelated properties, so they are not antonyms. The answer is closed (B).
Q3
“Every vegetable in this basket is fresh. There is one carrot in the basket.” Which must be true?
Correct: D) This carrot is fresh.
Every vegetable in the basket is fresh, and the carrot is in the basket, so it must be fresh (D). A reverses it, B is never stated, and C has no information about outside the basket — none are guaranteed.
Q4
Bread, egg, and milk are placed in a row from left to right. “Milk is immediately right of the egg.” “Bread is on the far left.” What is the order, left to right?
Correct: A) bread, egg, milk
Bread is on the far left. The egg and milk fill the middle and right, and milk is immediately right of the egg, so middle = egg, right = milk. The order is bread, egg, milk (A).
Q5
Key is to unlock as broom is to ___?
Correct: B) sweep
A key is a tool for unlocking. By the same 'tool → its function' relation, a broom is a tool for sweeping (B). Floor and dust are objects, and handle is a part — none is the action the tool performs.
Q6
Just as a rose is a kind of flower, which is a kind of fish?
Correct: D) tuna
A rose is a member of the category 'flower.' By the same 'category → member' relation, a member of 'fish' is tuna (D). Crab and shrimp are crustaceans, and a dolphin is a mammal — none is a fish.
Q7
“His umbrella is either red or blue. It was not red.” Which must be true?
Correct: C) The umbrella is blue.
The umbrella is one of exactly two options, red or blue, and red is ruled out, so it must be blue (C). B contradicts the two-way choice, and D ignores the premise.
Q8
Cleaning, shopping, and laundry are each assigned to Thursday, Friday, or Saturday. “Cleaning is on Thursday.” “Shopping is on an earlier day than laundry.” What happens on Saturday?
Correct: D) the laundry
Cleaning is Thursday. Shopping and laundry fill Friday and Saturday, and shopping is earlier than laundry, so shopping = Friday and laundry = Saturday. Saturday is the laundry (D).
Q9
Cow is to calf as horse is to ___?
Correct: A) foal
A calf is a cow's young. By the same 'adult → its young' relation, a horse's young is a foal (A). Mane and hoof are body parts, and grass is feed — different relations.
Q10
Just as cheese is made from milk, which is made from olives?
Correct: B) oil
Milk is the raw material of cheese. By the same 'raw material → product' relation, oil is made from olives (B). Flour, salt, and sugar are not made from olives.
Q11
“If it rains, the match is cancelled. Today it is raining.” Which must be true?
Correct: C) Today's match is cancelled.
Applying 'if rain, then cancelled' to the fact that it is raining gives that the match is cancelled (C). A is the converse and B is the inverse — neither follows. D is unrelated.
Q12
W, X, Y, and Z sit in a row from left to right. “Z is at the far left.” “X is immediately left of Y.” “W is not at the far right.” Who is at the far right?
Correct: B) Y
Seat 1 = Z. X is immediately left of Y, so X and Y are adjacent at (2,3) or (3,4). If (2,3), then W takes seat 4 — the far right — which violates 'W is not far right.' So X,Y = (3,4), making Y the far right (B), and W is fixed at seat 2.
Q13
Like intensified becomes love. By the same intensifying, dislike intensified becomes ___? Like : love = dislike : ___
Correct: A) hate
Love is the stronger degree of like — a 'mild → intense' relation. On the negative side, intensifying dislike gives hate (A). 'Mind' is milder, and ignore/neutral are not intensified forms.
Q14
As “descend” pairs with “ascend,” which pairs with “advance”? Ascend : descend = advance : ___
Correct: D) retreat
Ascend is upward and descend is downward — a 'one direction ↔ opposite direction' pair. Advance is forward, so its opposite is retreat (D). Stop is about motion vs. none, accelerate is about speed, and rotate is a different motion — none is the directional opposite.
Q15
“Every entry that won submitted before the deadline.” From this sentence alone, which must be true?
Correct: B) Any entry that did not submit before the deadline did not win.
The contrapositive of 'won → submitted before the deadline' is 'did not submit before the deadline → did not win' (B). A is the converse and C is the inverse, neither of which follows. D says nothing valid about entries that did not win, so it is not guaranteed.
Q16
About the prices of products J, K, L, and M: “J is more expensive than K.” “L is more expensive than J.” “M is cheaper than K.” Which is definitely the cheapest?
Correct: C) M
L > J > K and M < K, so overall L > J > K > M. M is below everyone, so M is definitely the cheapest (C). L and J are at the top, and only M is below K, which fixes M as the cheapest.
What to do next
For each item you missed, retrace 'why this option is correct' in its explanation.
Drill distinguishing negation, converse, and contrapositive to stop form-switching slips.
Practice timed sets to raise speed while keeping accuracy.
This test is reference information about logical-reasoning tendencies, not a formal qualification or a guarantee of ability.

You sometimes rush, choosing beyond what the premises guarantee.
As conditions stack up, organizing them lags and you drop points.

This test measures logical reasoning across several ability domains. You are at the developing level, with the foundation in place. The radar and the per-question results above show which domains have the most headroom. For the items you missed, draw the premises as nested diagrams, sort the options into must / might / cannot be true, then reread the explanation — the same type of error will fade.
