The Original 49 OIR (Officer's Intelligence Rating) Questions are a set of questions used by the US military during World War II to assess the intellectual abilities of officers. The questions were designed to evaluate a wide range of cognitive skills, including verbal comprehension, spatial reasoning, mathematical ability, and general knowledge.
The questions were developed by a team of psychologists and intelligence experts, led by psychologist Dr. Robert Yerkes, and were administered to thousands of military officers during the war. The purpose of the test was to identify officers who had the potential for high-level strategic and tactical thinking, and to place them in positions where their skills could be used to the greatest effect.
The questions themselves are a mix of verbal and nonverbal tasks, and range in difficulty from relatively simple to extremely challenging. Some examples of the questions include:
What is the next number in the series: 1, 3, 5, 7, ____?
Which shape is the odd one out: square, circle, triangle, rectangle?
Which word means the opposite of "ascend": descend, incline, rise, elevate?
The Original 49 OIR Questions were widely used by the military during the war, and many of the questions have since become famous as examples of intelligence test items. While the test has since been retired, it remains a fascinating historical artifact and a reminder of the importance of intellectual abilities in military leadership.
