Inhibition
Ignoring the tempting feature that the rule tells you not to use.
Brain & IQ / TEST 20
Can You Ignore the Obvious?
The loudest clue is not always the relevant one.
Before you start
HOW THE TEST WORKS.
Twelve tiny rule-following challenges where distracting numbers and symbols try to pull attention away from the instruction that actually matters.
A short entertainment quiz. It samples only the twelve questions shown here and is not an IQ, education, media-literacy or professional assessment.

QUESTIONS
A FEW SITUATIONS YOU'LL FACE
A preview of the kind of decisions used in this test. Your result is calculated from the full run, not from these examples alone.
- Ignore the number after the slash. Which option has the largest number before the slash?
- Ignore the words. Which option has the smallest number?
- Which pair differs by exactly one character?
THE VERDICT
WHERE YOUR ANSWERS CAN LAND
The result is not a universal label. It is the closest interpretation produced by this test version from the answers you give in this attempt.
DISTRACTED BY THE NEON SIGN
The loudest cue kept hijacking the rule. Your eyes saw the task; your reflex answered something else.
RULES? WHICH RULES?
You resisted some distractions, but obvious-looking cues still stole a noticeable share of the round.
MOSTLY ON TASK
Your attention was genuinely mixed: disciplined on some rules, baited by salience on others.
GOOD FILTER
You usually held the instruction in mind even when the screen tried hard to pull you elsewhere.
THE DISTRACTION DID NOT WORK
You treated the obvious cue like background noise and followed the actual rule almost every time.
