The FBI Phase 1 Test is a three-hour test consisting of cognitive, behavioral, and logical reasoning tests.

The FBI official site recommends to “wear casual, comfortable clothing that is suitable for an office environment.”

The correct answer is (C).

According to the passage, an eyewitness is one who testifies about his/her knowledge of a crime as perceived through his or her senses. (In logical formulation: eyewitness ➞ knowledge perceived through senses). Answer (C) is a transposed negative equivalent of this sentence, stating that if someone is not testifying based on knowledge from his senses then he is not an eyewitness. (In logical formulation: if knowledge not perceived through senses ➞ then not an eyewitness).

Answer (A): There is no support in the passage for the probability claimed in answer (A), according to which eyewitnesses are more likely than not to identify the perpetrator correctly. Furthermore, no information is given about the chances of successful recognition. The only probability given is that of identifying the same person in subsequent line-ups.

Answer (B): According to the passage, most of Alice Wonder's identification attempts were false as of now. This does not support the claim in answer (B), that there is at least one identification attempt not likely to be false. Thus, answer (B) is incorrect. Note that this statement should be read as: "At least most of Alice's identification attempts have been false as of now." This supports the principle understanding that we do not necessarily have information about all of Alice's identification attempts.

Answer (D): Nothing is known about what happens when an eyewitness fails to identify the perpetrator. Thus, the claim in answer (D) is unsupported by the text and is incorrect.

Answer (E): Nothing is known about witnesses who are not eyewitnesses, and thus answer (E) cannot be inferred from the text.

Conclusion follows.

Real-estate assets = A, very large = B, located in a central area = C, apartment = D, air conditioning = E.

According to the premises, (A -> B/C), (no D -> ~E), which means (D -> E), and (A+E -> B).

The conclusion states (A + C -> ~D).

If (A+E -> B), and (D -> E), then (D -> B) (because D is a subgroup of A). And since (A -> B/C), that means every A that is not B but C cannot be D.

In other words:

If all air-conditioned real-estate assets are very large, and all apartments are air conditioned, then all apartments are very large (because apartments are a subgroup of real-estate assets). And since no real-estate asset can be both very large and located in a central area, then this RE asset cannot be very large, as it is in a central area and it cannot be both. As you have concluded that all apartments are very large and this RE asset cannot be very large, then it is not an apartment.

The correct answer is 3.

Take a look at the top row, going from left to right. The frames change in the following way:

All the shapes from the left frame are rearranged as follows in the center frame: the bottom shape is placed within the (slightly enlarged) middle shape, which in turn is placed within the (enlarged) top shape. Therefore, in the center frame we have a small L shape (from the bottom of the left frame), within a larger down arrow (from the middle of the left frame), within an even larger square (from the top of the left frame).

The right frame is similar to the center frame, with the following two differences:

The center shape (in this case the L-shape) is elongated.

The middle shape has been replaced by the middle shape from the left frame of the previous row (in this case the bottom row).

This pattern is repeated in each row.

We can eliminate choice 5 because the pentagon in the background has been flipped and is not the same as in the center frame. We can eliminate choice 1 because the center shape (the pie-shape) is not elongated. Finally, we can eliminate choices 2 and 4 as they should have a middle shape that is similar to the middle shape of the left frame of the previous row, but they do not. (In choice 4 the middle shape has not changed at all but remains a triangle, and in choice 2 the middle shape has changed to that of the following [or in this case the top] row).

Therefore, we are left with answer choice 3 as the only correct answer.

Best response: D

Primary competency: decision-making

Secondary competencies: resilience, flexibility and adaptability, persistence

Explanation: In this question, you are facing a professional disagreement with an employee. Notice that the question asks about your first response - in other words, you are asked what your initial reaction would be, not what would eventually be the best solution. This implies that the question aims to assess your approach to this situation (your supervisory style), more than your actual problem-solving strategy.

Responses A and B present a polite decline of the employee’s stand. This approach emphasizes your authority as a supervisor – you respect your employees, yet your opinion is the final decision. Both responses emphasize hierarchy, but response B emphasizes it more. In response A you explain yourself to the employee (saying that you gave the matter serious thought) and the rationale for going with your comments is that you find it important. In response B the rationale for going with your comments is that you are the supervisor and that it is you make the final decision(persistence). Response A creates a more flexible impression (by explaining yourself you seem open to discussion) while response B shows more respect for the employee’s feelings. However, in both responses there is no actual discussion and the approach is hierarchical.

Response C presents an opposite approach. In this response you take no authoritative stand; your approach is that of a guide. You are flexible, yet in most workplaces and positions this approach could seem to lack resilience.

Response D is the only one in which there is an actual discussion. Instead of a simple exchange of opinions, this response enables you to get more information, hear another opinion and think together with your employee (decision making - taking staff input). This response shows that you have respect for your employee’s opinion, while maintaining respect for your own opinion and keeping your authority. This is the best way to start handling the situation (the best first response) as it allows you and your employee further deliberation, while your final decision is yet to be determined and is still in your hands. This response demonstrates an approach that is more thorough (decision making) and open-minded (flexibility).
