Abstract question I fail to solve

[zoki85]

This puzzle has been presumably put up on this site by you because you were unable to solve it.

True, I couldn't solve it at first becouse I didn't pay any attention to bold and thin sides of the figures.

CHEERS, From your photo it looks like you have an idilic setting to sit and think.

...If you mark more than one choice in your answer sheet, you automatically get 0 points for the question. That's how this works. I know, It's cruel world and such testing kills creativity. Somebody will score 99 points and somebody else 149 points.

That only means the latter is good at the test. Yes, bring this up to clarify what values to obtain or omit.
I'm afraid to get a job test prepared by those unqualified.

It's very common in studies to pretend you're testing for one thing (say, intelligence) when you're actually testing for another (say, OCD tendencies). A job application might use the same sort of misdirection.

The question belongs to the part of test which probes applicants' cognitive skills, power of reasoning and pattern recognition. Undoubtedly, tested is form of intelligence.

Your logic is something like: 'a surreptitious test for something would clearly have been labeled as such and not as an intelligence test'? I don't find that argument persuasive.

Wait a minute.
We are talking about part of evaluation process prepared by teams of psychologists and proffessionals whose specialization is testing people.
To say they are unqualified is like saying experts who make SATs are unqalified.

You put your trust tooo much on people's degrees or certified areas of expertise.
