ISSB Intelligence Tests Flashcards
50 question-and-answer cards covering Intelligence Tests as it is examined in ISSB. 24 of them are printed below, taken from across the deck — no signup, no paywall on the preview.
24 sample cards from the Intelligence Tests deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
Give an antonym for the word 'ancient'.
Modern (or new/recent).
What is the 'Odd One Out' (classification) test?
A test where you find the one item in a group that does not share the common property/category of the others.
In the group Rose, Lotus, Lily, Mango — which is the odd one out and why?
Mango, because it is a fruit while the others are flowers.
In the group Square, Triangle, Circle, Cube — which is the odd one out and why?
Cube, because it is a 3-D solid while the others are 2-D shapes.
What is the key strategy for solving 'Odd One Out' problems?
Identify the common characteristic shared by most items, then pick the one that lacks it.
What is a 'figure series' (non-verbal series) test?
A sequence of figures that changes according to a rule (rotation, addition/removal of elements, shading); you must select the figure that continues the pattern.
Name three common transformations seen in figure-series problems.
Rotation (clockwise/anticlockwise), addition or deletion of lines/dots, and change in shading or position of elements.
If a figure rotates 90° clockwise each step, how much will it have rotated after four steps?
360° — a full rotation, returning to the original orientation.
What is 'pattern completion' in non-verbal reasoning?
A test where a part of a figure/grid is missing and you must select the option that correctly completes the overall pattern (symmetry, continuity of design).
What principle most often guides pattern-completion answers?
Symmetry and continuity — the missing piece must keep the figure's lines, shading, and design consistent and unbroken.
What is a mirror image?
The reflection of a figure as seen in a mirror; left and right are reversed while top and bottom stay the same (for a vertical mirror).
In a mirror image, how does the letter sequence appear?
It is laterally inverted (reversed left-to-right), so the order of letters and their shapes flip horizontally.
What does the letter 'b' look like in a vertical mirror image?
It appears as 'd' (left-right reversed).
What is a water image?
The inverted reflection of a figure as seen in water; top and bottom are reversed (flipped vertically) while left and right stay the same.
How does a water image differ from a mirror image?
A mirror image is reversed left-to-right (horizontal flip); a water image is reversed top-to-bottom (vertical flip).
Which capital letters look the same in a vertical-mirror image?
Symmetrical letters about a vertical axis such as A, H, I, M, O, T, U, V, W, X, Y.
What is an embedded figure?
A simple shape hidden within a larger, more complex figure; the task is to locate the given simple figure inside the complex one.
What skill does the embedded-figures test primarily measure?
Visual perception / spatial ability — the ability to isolate a shape from a distracting background.
What is shape analysis (figure formation) in spatial reasoning?
Determining how separate pieces fit together to form a complete shape, or how a shape can be split into given components.
What is the 'Dot Situation' test?
A test where you identify a figure in which a dot can be placed in the same relative position (e.g., common to certain regions/shapes) as shown in a problem figure.
What is the key to solving Dot Situation problems?
Find which combination of regions/shapes the dot lies in (the overlapping area), then choose the option that contains a region with that same combination.
What is spatial reasoning?
The mental ability to visualize, manipulate, rotate, and understand the relationships between 2-D and 3-D objects in space.
In a cube-folding (paper-folding) spatial problem, what must you determine?
How a flat unfolded pattern (net) folds into a 3-D cube, and which faces end up adjacent or opposite each other.
Why are intelligence/reasoning tests included in the ISSB selection process?
To assess a candidate's mental ability, logical thinking, speed, and accuracy under time pressure — qualities needed for quick decision-making as an officer.
What this deck covers
The Intelligence Tests deck follows the ISSB Intelligence Tests syllabus — 4 chapters and 20 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 12.5 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 110 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
Intelligence Tests flashcards FAQ
How many Intelligence Tests flashcards are in this ISSB deck?
50 cards. This page previews 24 of them, sampled evenly across the deck so you can judge the difficulty before installing anything.
Are these ISSB flashcards free?
Yes. The preview here is free to read with no signup, and the full 50-card deck is free inside the Examius app.
What do the Intelligence Tests cards cover?
They follow the ISSB Intelligence Tests syllabus — 4 chapters and 20 topics — so the questions track what is actually examinable.
How should I use these flashcards?
Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then drill the deck. Examius schedules each card with spaced repetition, so cards you keep missing come back sooner and ones you know drift further apart.
