IBM员工笔试试题及答案

BM IPAT 练习题
每年 IBM 的第一关都是他的信息处理性格测试 IPAT。




题目都很 easy，考的是速度和取舍的魄力。
整理本本里资料的时候，发现当时自己搜集的几份很有用的资料。
希望对开学要找工作的朋友有些帮助。
IPAT 的全称是 IBM Personal Aptitude Test，即 IBM 个人能力测试。
这是 IBM 招募新员工的笔试，考查英文阅读速度和基本运算反应能力。
我前些天申请了 IBM 公司的工作，ChinaHR 初选后通知我去参加笔试。
以下内容纯属个人感想，不涉及题目内容、对 IBM 的评价，仅供参考。
A) 题目分布：
PartⅠ 25 min 30 Ques
PartⅡ 10 min 40 Ques
PartⅢ 30 min 25 Ques
每次发试卷后，有 5 分钟的时间看答题样板，三个部分总共 15 分钟。
所以考试的总时间是 80 分钟，不是 ChinaHR 通知单说的 120 分钟。
B) 题目类型：
PartⅠ 矩阵排列（就是把行和列变来边去，让你说出字母）
PartⅡ 数列猜测（就是连续出现一些字母，让你猜下一个）
PartⅢ 数学计算（主要是一些分数的运算，小学理解能力）
C) 题目难度：
其实说白了一点都不难，绝对是小学三年级水平。但是很多人都没能按时做完全部题目，甚
至忙中出错，主要的原因是看英文题目，思考太久。
D) 考试建议：
个人建议诸位准备参加 IPAT 考试的兄弟姐妹，连续两周进行填鸭式的
阅读训练，不求精确理解，只要速度够快，靠印象判断就行，肯定高分。
