129 You are gifted with the natural fluency of a writer and the visual and spatial strengths of an artist. Those skills contribute to your creative and expressive mind. Insightful linguists can take complex concepts and articulate them to just about anyone. You have a gift with words and an insight into processes and the way people think.
These talents enable you to explain things clearly to people as you can conceptualise ideas internally and understand patterns on an abstract level.

I stopped taking the test when I got to this question:
A boy is 4 years old and his sister is three times as old as he is. When the boy is 12 years old, how old will his sister be?
12 (years old ) x 3 (times as old) = 36
The available answers are 16, 20, 24, 38, and 32.

I ended up picking 20, I think. I don't know why. EDIT: I just remembered. The boy is four, right? So his sister would be 12. In the end I just took the difference (8 years) and added it into 12, which made 20.

I thought I was way off.

Damn, you guys are on top of it tonight. I even ran it by my girlfriend who is an electrical engineer and she agreed me with me on 36.
She's recording herself singing and playing guitar in the other room, so my excuse is that I couldn't concentrate and my excuse for her is that she was busy and wanted to get rid of me. ;D

"Two cars start off at the same point on a straight road facing opposite directions. Each car drives for six miles, takes a left turn, and drives for eight miles. How far apart are the two cars?"
What is the answer to this? It's probably really obvious.

Why is that? I calculated it as 8 + 6 = 14 and doubled it, but 28 wasn't there.

Remember, the square of the length of the long side of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Connecting the starting point of each car with its end point forms the long side of a right triangle, 10 miles long. (The other two sides are 8 and 6 miles long. 8 squared is 64, 6 squared is 36, 64+36=100, and the square root of 100 is 10.) Since each car turned to its own left when traveling in opposite directions, the long sides of the two triangles form one continuous 20 mile line.

I thought it was 2. Being a straight road and all, wouldn't taking a left turn put the cars on a parallel course? Or is that a u-turn I'm thinking of?

I think that was the hardest question on the test.

They started off traveling in opposite directions. Each one drove 6 miles, putting them 12 miles apart, then turned to their own left. The two cars are now indeed on parallel courses, but still traveling in opposite directions and with 12 miles separating their two courses - the roads they're traveling on are 12 miles apart. After each car drives 8 miles on their new headings, the cars are exactly 20 miles apart.
