Two times two - is two!, Yes! I shall prove it by means of analogy, the highest form of proof. Follow carefully. One times one is one, therefore two times two is two. What applies to one applies to the other.

The tests below constitute a series designed to assess your ability to discern arithmetical relationships among a given set of numbers and your ability to perform simple arithmetical computations.
Each test has 10 items. In each item, you will see two sets of numbers and a result number associated with the first set of numbers, and your task is to determine how the result number is derived from the first step of numbers.
This derivation uses each number in the set of numbers exactly once, and uses some or all of the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
The answer is the result of applying this derivation to the second set of numbers, thereby producing a second result number, the answer.
A simple numerical keypad will be provided to enter the answer.
These tests are an assessment of the ability to produce possible arithmetical relationships among numbers, requiring an inventiveness when dealing with numbers and basic mathematics.
While the item type found in these tests does not appear on professional intelligence tests, there are item types that are common on professional intelligence tests that require one to determine arithmetical relationships.
For example, number sequence problems present numbers in a linear format and require a test-taker to determine a rule that produces the sequence. The rule often requires little more mathematics than the mathematics required by the items on these Number Analogy tests.
Furthermore, items that require analogical reasoning are ubiquitous among professional intelligence tests, especially in the verbal, informational, and logical content areas.
