Wonderlic Sample Test Answer Key
Here's the answer key to the questions on the Wonderlic Sample Test:
- 1/27. Every number is divided by 3 in the sequence.
- 1 - True. All Tigers wear white sneakers and the boy is a Tiger.
- $1.05. 21 cents x 5 = 105 cents = $1.05.
- One. Look closely - the I and E are switched in the first; the G becomes a C in the second; the comma after Hoff is replaced with a period
in the third; the R in Warner becomes an N in the fourth; and Pino is Pina in the fifth. The sixth is identical.
- 3 - Mean neither the same nor opposite. Look the words up in the dictionary. Nothing alike.
- 300 feet. 20 feet in 1/5 seconds becomes 100 feet in one second (20 x 5 = 100.) So, 100 feet in one second is 300 in three (100 x 3 = 300.)
- 6 feet. 10 cents a foot, 20 cents for 2 feet, 30 cents for 3 feet, etc.
- August. The eighth month of the year is August.
- .25. The closest number to zero in the group is .25.
- 17. We want to maximize the smaller-type pages because using the larger type would use too many pages. So, try using all small type. That would
be 2,400 words x 21 pages = 50,400 words, which would leave too much white space. Because the LCD between 1,800 and 2,400 is 7,200, take out 4 pages for use of the larger type
(1,800 x 4 = 7,200). That leaves 17 smaller-type pages; 17 x 2,400 = 40,800. Add 7,200 to that (from the larger type) and you get 48,000 words. Hardest
question on this test.
Note - I recently received an e-mail from Kristin P from Oregon. She's a print designer, and she had an alternate answer:
Anyway, when I saw the answer to #10, I knew I had to disagree with the "mathematical" solution of 17 pages. Any good print designer would know the immediately PRACTICAL answer to this was 20 pages because 2400 x 20 = 48000 then you intersperse one page worth of subheads in the larger font size, change the tracking and kearning as necessary and make it all fit!!!
Hey, I can't argue with a print designer. 20 pages it is.
- $560. If the profits are split equally, each guy gets $4,800/3 = $1,600. If the profits are split proportionally, X would receive 45 percent
($9,000/($9,000 + $7,000 + $4,000). So, 45 percent of $4,800 is .45 x $4,800 = $2,160. Just subtract $1,600 from $2,160 and you get $560.
- 3 - Not certain. Just because Ben met Beth, and Beth met Bob, we don't know if Ben even knows Bob.
- 38. If the sister is twice as old, she's 32. The boy will be 22 six years from now, so 32 + 6 = 38.
- 3. All of the figures have four sides, with the exception of No. 3.
- March. March and September have equal amounts of sunlight and darkness on the 21st of each month.
- 17. 32-1 = 31. 31-2 = 29. 29-3 = 26. 26-4 = 22. So, the next thing you subtract is 5. 22-5 = 17.
- 10. All of the other numbers are odd.
- H. Replace A with 1, B with 2, C with 3, etc. Multiply the first column by the second column to get the third. D = 4 and B = 2, so 4x2= 8.
The eighth letter of the alphabet is H.
- August. The Southern Hemisphere is opposite of the Northern, so our summer is their winter. August is the only month listed remotely close to
our summer.
- 1 - Have similar meanings. Flammable and inflammable mean the exact same thing.
