In my book,
Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell uses questions as a way to talk to the reader. Throughout the book, he asks questions and gives small tests for the reader. On pg. 78, he writes, "Did you get that? I'm guessing most of you did. The correct aswer is C. But now try this one." He writes this quote between 2 examples from Ravens Progressive Matrices. Which is an IQ test. The first example is the first question on an IQ test. The image to the left is an example of an easier question in the test. The second Question is an example from one of the last few questions in the test. The image at the bottom of this blog is the example that Malcolm Gladwell uses in his book. He talks to us about the examples and uses them to explain that how Chris Langan would be able to answer the second question easily. The average reader would not be able to figure it out.
