Managed 10/18 on the first one (two more I think I knew but couldn't get the exact wording).

"This sort of assessment would discriminate against those with non-linguistic pattern recognition (like solving jigsaw puzzles) and spatial intelligence (like the ability to use a map or see hidden figures in a drawing)."

That's my excuse. :)
