Example of IQ questions

IQ questions are based on a combination of memory, comprehension, numerical aptitude and logic. The theory is that processing information defines the level of intellect. Many people criticize the basis of some tests, due to the nature of the information provided, some forms of which could be realistically described as 'How not to ask a question.' IQ tests come in many forms, from the basic 'pictograph and True/False questions' to exotic questions about Ivan the Terrible. In most cases the online tests are based on (or stolen from) the Mensa test. IQ tests also don't test creativity and use of information in those forms as per De Bono's Lateral Thinking concept, which is seen as another weakness in the question concepts.

A cat bumps into a balalaika. The balalaika makes a noise. The cat hits the instrument with its paws, making more sounds for hours while the owners film it.

From this information, which statement is true:

A Cats don''t play balalaikas
B Balalaikas and cats don''t get along too well
C It must be a Russian cat
D This cat is likely to get a lot of attention
Correct answer is D, which is already stated in the question. This cat, obviously, does play a balalaika. The cat and balalaika aren''t attacking each other, so the relationship is positive. The balalaika could be anywhere, because there''s no information on that subject.
