Choosing an odd item is a staple in IQ tests. Do you know why? Because they check several abilities at once very quickly. They test our ability to divide items into categories, our ability to identify these groups, to understand the laws that govern them and then use that information to deduce which of the items' groups doesn't belong with the others. It's a great mental exercise and that's why we brought it for your enjoyment today. The following 15 questions have one mandate: Find the odd one out!
