Mental Flexibility Test This test does not measure your intelligence, your fluency with words and certainly not your mathematical ability. It will, however, give you some gauge of your mental flexibility and creativity. Since this test was developed, few people have been able to solve more than half of the questions on the first try. Many, however, reported getting answers long after the test had been set aside – particularly at unexpected moments when their minds were relaxed; and some reported solving all the questions over a period of several days. Take this as your personal challenge. INSTRUCTIONS: Each statement below contains the initials of words that will make it correct. Find the missing words.
