How Logical Are You?

You Are Incredibly Logical
Move over Spock - you're the new master of logic
You think rationally, clearly, and quickly.
A seasoned problem solver, your mind is like a computer!
How Logical Are You?

While I found this little exercise interesting, it would have been even more interesting if some of the questions were inductive rather than deductive. It would have been abnormally interesting if it tested how people deal with under-determined or over-determined problems. Seldom to I face a problem like "Ralph is four times as old as Frank. In 20 years, Ralph will be twice as old as Frank. How old are Ralph and Frank?"

Duane, as far as I can tell, you only have to score 5/8 to be rated "incredibly logical" by this quiz. I'm not saying you're not logical … I'm just saying.

Chris,

Interesting. Normally, if I didn't get a perfect score on these quizzes, I go back and do a little sensitivity analysis. But when I get what I take to be the highest score, I assume the quiz is perfect too.
