This test is to see how well you can think. It contains questions of various kinds. Here are some sample questions.

Of the five, ‘black’, ‘red’, ‘green’ and ‘yellow’ form a group as they are names of colours. ‘Paint’ is not the name of a colour. Therefore (5) is the answer.

Now try to solve the following question.
