Thank you for sharing, this is extremely helpful Yet, I can't seem to find any suggested answers to the questions. Do you know if answers are provided? Many thanks!

Hi, Please did you end up getting the answers for this or can you please share your answers?

If anyone is looking for more Watson Glaser resources - this thesis has some practise questions: http://etheses.dur.ac.uk/1126/1/1126.pdf.
Read on from page 391 of the document for the actual questions.

Interestingly, I just did a real Watson Glaser test for a firm, and some questions came up which were identical to the ones in that thesis.

Hi, Please can you share your answers for this test? cant seem to find them on the document

you won’t find answers to the test. The test is not standardised and is specific to A&O. The only people who will know the answers are the business psychologists who designed the test and some of the recruitment team at A&O.

Spend your time taking these practice tests slowly. Don’t rush them - analyse the questions carefully.

With assumption questions base it on the information in front of you only. Some people go wrong as they are trying to put real life scenarios into play and therefore put extra information in based on their own experiences or common sense. You have to go only by what’s in front of you with the question.

There is also some good advice here:

Such a helpful post, thank-you very much!

I've just finished my GCSE's and have never studied law. I am interested in becoming a lawyer so I took the Watson Glacer test. I finished with 37 minutes left however I only got 50%. Do you think it's worth pursuing a career in law?

Yes, it is still worth pursuing law! The WG test is by no means an indicator of how good a lawyer you'll be. Almost everyone on this forum (including myself) struggles with it. Doing well on it is just about practice and figuring out the thought process the questions and the overall test wants you to adopt. Also 50% isn't even that bad imo - when I first started practising it I got way worse scores haha.

In addition to Dheepa’s comments, your ability to improve on these tests will develop should you continue your education, with higher and further education. Your ability to do them now won’t be an natural conclusion of your ability to do them as an undergraduate.

Also, if you had 37 minutes left, you can clearly afford to take more time to consider your answers, rather than rushing to make a decision.

Chamonix is one of the oldest ski resorts in France. Last year, the Chamonix-Mont-Blanc Valley authorities introduced a climate and energy action plan, the first in the French Alps. The plan commits to reducing greenhouse gas emissions in the area by 22 percent . Among the proposed measures is a ban on the most polluting lorries using the nearby Mont Blanc tunnel. Climate change will have a major impact on the valley's main economic activities: less snow on low-altitude ski slopes and the risk of increased pressure on high-altitude ski slopes have been recorded in recent studies. Natural habitats, river patterns, forests and agriculture might be radically transformed, increasing the likelihood of hazards such as avalanches, floods and landslides.

Proposed Inference:

If measures are not taken to address climate change in mountainous regions, the risk of landslides and avalanches will increase by 22 percent.


Just to make sure I am on the right track, would this be false or insufficient data? I put the latter, but I am not 100%. So any clarification would be appreciated.

P.S it's from a practice test, not a current WG!

I agree with insufficient data. There’s nothing in the text that suggests that the statement is explicitly untrue.
