I usually go with the gut, just choose the answer that seems the most accurate. If I think about question for too much time I tend to overthink ( because it could be a tricky question or the person who wrote it could mean something completely different or something).
This has always been my main problem with tests. If I study, I risk knowing too much information an begin creating exceptions and justifications for different answers. A-seems most true, but maybe A is the answer that is supposed to be so obvious and so blanketed that it is only true in certain scenarios, it is written a bit too openly-the wording seems off for A. maybe it is C, C seems more specific and if you look at it from this angle and consider this aspect then C seems correct. I'll go with C. Then it ends up being A. What is this question supposed to mean, what is it trying to imply, on and on until the original intent is lost. School tests, it is why I never studied-or if I did it was minimal. Knowing too much can make it seem like you know nothing at all~my awful current philosophy. That is more for simple LCD school tests.
Same with personality tests, except I care a bit more. I do not trust myself to usually answer them accurately, because I can see where I might answer them in a way that I WANT vs. what is actual. So yeah, my touch and go philosophy right now, is not to drown myself in too much information. The more I know the more biased I become, the more information I have the more ways I can see things, the further I get away from what is actually true. But it is tempting, a forbidden fruit sort of situation
But I don't know. If you are able to narrow it down to your satisfaction, and that works for you, then I say go with your gut. Go with what you think fits right, doesn't mean that you cannot change your mind later. If you don't want to, don't trust yourself, or you don't think you can narrow it down accurately, then don't feel pressured to. Maybe take it in a quiet room, limit distractions as much as possible, then time yourself. I don't know seems to depend on the individual- vague unhelpful answer but sorry.
