3.抓点带面。
智力测试的一个很重要的解题技巧就是善于抓住题目的关键之处,寻找突破口。一旦在点上打开缺口,面上的问题则势如破竹。 Friends are going swimming,shopping and hiking.What is each person going to do? Eric:I'm not going hiking. James:I'm not going swimming. Sue:The boys aren't going shopping. Kate:Sue is going swimming. ① Eric: ② James: ③ Sue: ④ Kate: 通过对话首先能明确的只有③Sue:going swimming;通过Sue: The boys aren't going shopping.可知:Eric,James(都是男孩名)“aren't going shopping”;Eric也“not going hiking”,他肯定是:going swimming; James“not going swimming”,他肯定是:going hiking;那么,谁将“going shopping”呢?只有剩下的Kate啦!
4.反思与联想。智力竞赛题有不少是考查逆向思维的,尤其是谜语类试题多具备这样的特点。有些情况按照常理似乎不可思议,但现实生活中许多现象却有逆常理之处,做这类题则要据其意而反思,联想你熟悉的事物与情景,推出正确答案。
