Evangelion in Level 1 JLPT test. Trick question?

<< < (2/2)

That's why I hate trick questions... I don't think I could pass level 1 if I tried. My kanji is too weak and my vocab is spotty. I'm pretty sure I could pass level 2 though with some recap cram studying (took 3 years in college). But trick questions aren't really a test of what you know in a particular subject. It's more of a test of logic and pure intelligence using the subject (in this case; japanese) as a medium to test it.

Kind of like IQ tests that use math. If some African bush native was brought to America to test his IQ whom has never learned even basic math, and the test contained some basic math, would that be an accurate gauge of his intelligence quotient? An IQ test is supposed to test what you are capable of learning. Not what you already know. That's how I feel about trick questions.
