You’re going to be faced everyday in life with questions that do not have a singular exact answer, more often that not that’s the case. These tests are generally both considering - an answer that fits with the observations - an answer that follows a typical human inductive bias

If anything I wonder if these kinds of tests should ask to come up with as many possible answers, or topk, that fit the data/pattern best

Being able to stay in a set of weighted answers instead of committing to one feels like the real world skill
