The Zen High Range IQ Test by Dr Jason Betts

See the Score and Norming Data File at www.psiq.org/lux for the submission instructions and guidelines.
The use of the internet and all reference materials is recommended to research all terms not fully understood.
Find the answer that is simple, obvious, satisfies the greatest number of clues and has the simplest complexity.
Ensure that the language and the context of the answer is consistent with the logic and phrasing of the question.
===============================================================================
As the Second term is to the First, so the Fourth term is to the Third
Zen is a simple logical set of four koans in Latin based on the four elements.
Once understood, the questions present as "this causes this as that causes that".

Note 1:

that the lengths of the words get shorter. Yes, this is a part of the test. Please count them.

Note 2:

these are poetic, spiritual, symbolic and philosophical; they are not exact answers of logic.

Note 3:

take a month to contemplate these concepts; use a real paper dictionary instead of one online.

Note 4:

TWO SUBMISSIONS ARE ALLOWED. Think of each item as a conceptual poetic metaphor.
