Logic Test


Logic is a branch of philosophy. It's the study of the principles of valid demonstration and inference, of the properties of propositions and deductive reasoning by abstraction and analysis of the form rather than the content of propositions under consideration.

Test your own logic. Read some premises, and then specify whether or not the arguments are valid or invalid. It's not as easy as you think. I scored 10 (67%) out of 15 questions.
