Challenge Your Exam Readiness With Our Free Wonderlic Practice Questions

Perceptual comparison items measure speed and accuracy in discriminating very small differences—exactly the kind of detail orientation many jobs require. Scan each pair character by character. In A, both strings match perfectly in sequence, including digits and the hyphenation pattern: “6 Q 1 Z - 7 7 B” is precisely duplicated. In B, the final characters differ: T vs F. In C, a common trap appears: the first code has the digit 0 after the “2” (“20”), while the second uses the letter O (“2O”). In D, the second string has an extra L at the end (“…-K” vs “…-KL”). The correct choice is therefore A. On Wonderlic-style perceptual tasks, adopt a consistent left-to-right sweep and consciously verify ambiguous look-alikes (0 vs O, 1 vs I, 5 vs S). When you suspect a mismatch, don’t over-check the rest of that pair; mark it mentally and move on. This preserves time for additional items while minimizing careless errors, a key objective in perceptual accuracy testing.
