Remember that adage about trusting your first instinct? Forget it, says MIT Sloan Professor Shane Frederick, who has developed a simple, three-item test that measures people's ability to resist their first instinct. “Do you want someone running your company who doesn't think beyond their first impulse,” asks Frederick, “or do you want someone who is willing to ask herself, 'Does this response really make any sense?'” He says that the cognitive reflection test serves as a rough measure of that ability or disposition. Take, for example, the question asked in the OP. Frederick posed this sort of question to more than 3,000 students at eight different universities. Fewer than half gave the correct answer ($0.05). What did the rest say? You guessed it — $0.10 That's the answer most people think of first, and which only some of them recognize as wrong. Although Frederick admits thinking “$0.10” when he first saw the problem, he was still stunned by how many people actually stayed with that as their “final answer.” “A moment's reflection is sufficient to reveal the error of this initial, thoughtless response,” says Frederick. “If a person bothered to check their answer, they'd recognize that the difference between #1.00 and 0.10 is only #0.90, not #1.00 as the problem stipulates. Everyone can recognize this. But not everyone does.” Frederick found that those who do well on the cognitive reflection test tend to be more patient in decisions between smaller sooner rewards and larger later rewards. They are also more willing to gamble in financial domains. According to Frederick, this three-item test predicts such characteristics as well as and sometimes better than much longer cognitive tests, such as the SAT, ACT, or the Wonderlic Personnel Test (which is the “IQ” test used by many employers, including the National Football League). While not claiming that his test is a perfect substitute for such established intelligence tests, Frederick says it comes close and is much easier to use, adding that the availability of such convenient short tests may spur further research on the relationship between cognitive ability and decision making. “Decision making is a cognitive activity, yet few study how cognitive ability affects it,” Frederick says. “We now have a test that takes a minute to complete and is as predictive as other tests that take more than three hours.” |

ANSWER. Since the shoes cost #1.00 more than the socks , the Socks has to cost #0.05, and the Shoes has to cost #1.05 because A. #1.05 + #0.05 = #1.10 AND B. #1.05 - #0.05 = #1.00 It is common for people who do not think through the problem to respond with #0.10, but this is incorrect because C. Although #1.00 + #0.10 = #1.10, D. #1.00 - #0.10 = #0.90, which is not #1.00 more, as required by the problem . |

odizeey: D indian boy dat did operation at age seven did nt perform excellent in his i.q test. does dat mk him nt special? Did anyone say if you fail an iq test you aren't intelligent? No, the topic says "test your Intelligence quotient" without pronouncing those who will fail unintelligent. this is only a means to sharpen ourselves, it is not a means to bring anyone down, btw its an anonymous forum. |

odizeey: 10 kobo. And its d same tyn,no prove dat its 5kobo,abi una dey see wetyn my brain no dey see? If the socks is 10kobo, then it means the shoe is only #0.90 more than the socks. but the question says the shoes is #1.00 more than the socks. do you get the logic now? |

Sorry, this equation leaves room for questions.What questions does it leave room for? I didn't read anywhere that he spent the whole money or was it said that he must spend the whole money? He only borrowed extra cos he didn't know the actual prices of what he intended to buy and you were only asked to find out the price of the socks so your point is? |

@ safarigirl those are mind games and distraction, re-read the question and you will see what the question requires. And you are right, he had the borrowed #1.00 left, that is irrelevant to the question required. |
Re: Test Your Intelligence quotient by haibe(m): 6:55pm On Nov 16, 2013 |
odizeey: exactly. the shoes cost #1.00 more than the socks. remember both the shoes Nd socks is #1.10 The question then says how much is the socks. The focal point is the shoes cost #1.00 more than the socks. Now rethink knowing they both cost #1.10 |

Sorry if I sounded hostile to you but that wasn't my intent, I guess I just didn't see how your post is relevant to the question asked and I did read your post 3 times just to be sure of what to say. If you feel I didn't understand it, please do well to elaborate. 1 Like |

It is amazing how many people get this question wrong. I also initially thought 0.10 as the answer but on review I saw my error. If you are having difficulty figuring it out you are not unique but be assured the answer is indeed 0.05. 1.05 = shoes 0.05 = socks shoes + socks = 1.05 + 0.05 = 1.10 shoes - socks = 1.05 - 0.05 = 1.00 |
