TEST YOUR MENTAL FLEXIBILITY:
This test does not measure your intelligence, your fluency with words, or your mathematical ability. It will, however, give you some gauge of your mental flexibility and creativity. In the three years since this test has been developed, it has been found that only a few people could solve more than half of the 30 questions on the first try. Many, however, reported getting answers long after the test had been set aside, some at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed. Some reported solving all the questions over a period of several days. Take this as your personal challenge. Instructions: Each question below contains the initials of a word that will make it correct. Find the missing word.
