CLASSIFICATION(ALPHABET CLASSIFICATION)

CLASSIFICATION:

Classification means grouping. If the objects or items are grouped on the basis of their common properties, this process is known as Classification. 

The candidate is required to sort out that object which does not belong or which does not has the similar qualities which are found in the remaining objects. This test is also known as Odd-Man Out Test, because the candidate is required to find out that item which is dissimilar or which has different qualities.

In this test the questions are designed to test the ability of the candidate to classify given objects and find one which does not has the common characteristics with the other objects of the group.

TYPES OF CLASSIFICATION :

1. Alphabet Classification

2. Number Classification

3. Word Classification

4. Combined Classification

1) ALPHABET CLASSIFICATION:

In letter classification, there is a similarity or pattern among the letters in the group and the candidate has to identify the pattern and select the one which does not follow the common pattern in the group.

⚜The relationship among the letters is generally based on the following similarities:

• Position of letters:

•  Vowel and consonant:

•  Reverse order of letters

• Addition or multiplication of positional value

👇Here are some steps you can follow to solve odd one out questions:

1. Identify the common theme: Look at the items or concepts given in the set and try to identify the common theme or characteristic that they share. 

2. Look for differences: Once you have identified the common theme, look at each concept in the set and try to spot any differences, that does not fit with the common theme.
