[TREX8]

Check out this website http://www.kent.ac.uk/careers/tests/spatialtest.htm

for example of non verbal reasoning test.

Extracted from website:
\"Non-verbal reasoning involves the ability to understand and analyse visual information and solve problems using visual reasoning. For example: identifying relationships, similarities and differences between shapes and patterns, recognizing visual sequences and relationships between objects, and remembering these.

It enables students to analyse and solve complex problems without relying upon or being limited by language skills. As these tests don't require reading they can give insight into the abilities of those who have problems with reading and thinking verbally, those who may lack motivation, whose native language isn't English and those with specific learning difficulties.\"\"

TwaTau:

What does non-verbal type of question like? is it a non-problem sum kind of question?
