Trading and Asset Origination internship — Critical thinking (Watson-Glaser style)
Five parts of three questions each, in the classic Watson-Glaser order: inferences (rate an inference from true to false on a five-point scale, including 'insufficient data'), assumptions (made or not made), deductions (follows or does not follow), interpretations (can or cannot be drawn beyond reasonable doubt) and arguments (strong or weak). Judge only from the text as given. All 15 are in the timed replica above.
