CONCEP-T
© Laurent Dubois 2001
Against pop-ups, free and really
convivial:
The Concep-T, with verbal and
reasoning-abstract concepts subtests, is a power-type IQ test intended to
measure crystallized intelligence and power of reasoning with abstract concepts.
A non expected but pertinent
answer will be taken into account in the raw score, and weighted according to
its degree of quality.
There is no time limit;
material help allowed: books, calculator, computer, internet…, corrections and
additions are not accepted; no discussion with others, no help from anyone in
any way.
Requisites : logic,
imagination, shrewdness, minimal general knowledge, and a very very good sense
of observation. Send your answers to 916test@caramail.com
Or to the following address:
Laurent Dubois, rue Beaulieusart, 148, Fontaine-L’Evêque, 6140, Belgium.
Please include your name,
age, gender, e-mail address, and native language. If relevant, please list
scores on previously-taken IQ tests, along with the names of the tests.
It’s important to normalize the “Concep-T test”. Thanks for your comprehension.
The Concep-T TesT is an
admission test for the SIGMA
Society and potentially for several other societies (Cerebrals, Glia, Poetic
Genius, Pi, Mega…).

The correction is free!
Read carefully the following
warning !
WARNING
You have to choose the most
basic, the most general and the most precise solution. To avoid confusion,
don’t “point out” the solution; write or draw it completely! If there is the
most little part of subjectivity or interpretation in your answer, this is not
the good answer!
A potentially
infinite series is indicated by the dots; the hyphens indicate the number of
elements (not asked) after the question mark; otherwise, there is logically
nothing else possible after the last element.
The numbering of the items
doesn’t belong to the items!
Principle of an analogy:
“black : white :: true : false” must be read as this: white is to black as
false is to true.
The analogy Part : Part : Part : Part : (...) :: Whole : ? is
the generic item in each part of the Power-scale.

* You have to say what is coming behind the
second question mark
* QUOD ERAT
DEMONSTRANDUM = which

2) movement
What words are you reading now ?
(choose only one of the following propositions;
your answer can’t be contradictory at the semantic level and must be the most
general at the semantic level)
a) Any word you like b) None c) Plane d) The
solution I have just chosen e) Joker f) What words are you reading now
3) DAA
Let’s try to demonstrate that a Demonstration
Ab Absurdo is not absurd.
Consider that a Demonstration Ab Absurdo (DAA)
is absurd
This is contradictory with the premises since we
use what is to be demonstrated to make the demonstration (petitio principii)
Thus we can demonstrate only directly that a
DAA is not absurd
But then, we have demonstrated Ab Absurdo that
the demonstration has to be direct
Since we can not make the hypothesis that a DAA
is absurd, in other words since that is absurd to consider that a DAA is
absurd, DAA demonstrates his validity sui generis, i.e. in the most direct way
QED
This demonstration is: (choose only one of the
following propositions)
a) Absurd
b) Beautiful c) Correct d) I don’t know e) Incomplete f) Which
has to be demonstrated
4) Limbo
This sentence ends by: “ This sentence ends by: “ This sentence ends by: “ This sentence ends by…”””
Which of the following words can not be
referred to this sentence?
a) Perpetual b) Fractal c) Auto reference d) Cycle
e) Syllogism f) Transfinis g) Retroaction
5) Syllogism
A deduction is built on hypothesis
An hypothesis has to be constantly checked
A constantly checked hypothesis is an induction
A deduction is an induction
QED
This syllogism is: (choose only one of the
following propositions)
a) Valid b) False c) Incomplete d) True e)
Invalid f) Dangerous
6) Determinism
Supposition: the Time Travel is possible
Condition: the Time travel is instantaneous
Precision: the specificity of the Time is “succession”!
Consequence: …
Which of the following conclusions are incorrect?
a) All the past and all the future exist
simultaneously
b) Pure determinism
c) Time and time travel are contradictory
d) All that is possible is already realized
somewhere
e) Time is an illusion
f)
Each of this words and your answer are predetermined
g) Time Travel is possible “now” in a
certain future
h)
All potential is actual
i) All the Time is accomplished somewhere
7) time’s arrow
Physicists assess that there is no absolute,
privileged time’s arrow
Consequently, we can imagine, in our future, a
universe whom time’s arrow is opposite to our own time’s arrow
Suppose that the Time Travel is possible
How to escape to the temporal collision?
a)
Time travel in the past
b)
Time travel in the
future
c)
Trip in another
dimension
d)
No issue
e)
To say one’s prayers
f)
To send a letter of
protest with the designer of the 916
