Some applicants find this section fascinating and score highly, while others find the invented-language format unsettling. The difference between the two groups usually comes down to one thing: a strategy for breaking down unfamiliar systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/edu-link.de\/de\/leuphana-test-recognising-structures\/#Understanding_whats_being_tested_in_the_Linguistic_Systems_section_of_the_Leuphana_Test\" >Understanding what&#8217;s being tested in the Linguistic Systems section of the Leuphana Test<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/edu-link.de\/de\/leuphana-test-recognising-structures\/#The_invented_language_format\" >The invented language format<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/edu-link.de\/de\/leuphana-test-recognising-structures\/#How_to_tackle_language_system_tasks_tactiy\" >How to tackle language system tasks tactiy<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-cbddbb498099a033ef24bf9a19a570f4\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#2e5077\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Understanding_whats_being_tested_in_the_Linguistic_Systems_section_of_the_Leuphana_Test\"><\/span>Understanding what&#8217;s being tested in the Linguistic Systems section of the Leuphana Test<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">This section measures your ability to identify abstract patterns and apply them systematically. It uses linguistic structures as the medium \u2014 but it&#8217;s not really a language test. It&#8217;s a logic test dressed in vocabulary. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">The critical skill is: <strong>observe \u2192 hypothesise \u2192 verify \u2192 apply<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-background has-link-color wp-elements-99cc45b8b31f93caa4200953cc4b332b\" style=\"border-radius:40px;background-color:#2e5077\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_invented_language_format\"><\/span>The invented language format<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">You receive a few sentences with invented words on the left, English translations on the right. Your task is to figure out the structural rules. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\">Example: &#8218;maki&#8216; = dog, &#8218;makina&#8216; = dogs, &#8218;paro&#8216; = cat. What is &#8218;parona&#8216;? Cats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-tertiary-color has-text-color\" style=\"font-size:14px\"><em>Speed tip: Don&#8217;t try to understand every word in the table. Focus on identifying the minimum number of rules needed to answer the specific question asked.
