You're probably taking it too seriously then.

Oh, certainly. I've never found a case where there's genuine ambiguity, it's just that there's a certain part of my brain which takes delight in pointing out all the potential flaws in everything I read. It's much harder to concentrate on the test when half my brain is busy visualizing what four hundred Captain Picards would look like marching down my street.



"Oh, certainly. I've never found a case where there's genuine ambiguity ..."

I recall a test that asked to pick the one word out of four that was different or didn't fit or something.

The thing was, three out of four words described red objects. But a different three out of four words had one syllable; the other had two.

So it them became a game of, What was the test creator likely thinking?


This is why a proper test needs to be administered by a professional, I would expect.


You probably have ADHD, try untimed tests like the Mega or Titan test.
