As we all know IIM-A will be conducting this year CAT paper ,chances are high that it will reintroduce FIJ question as it did in the year 2006.So a special importance need to be given to this topic.Besides giving question set to download at the end of the article ,I will also be sharing with you the right approach to solve FIJs' with few important examples and difference between inference and judgement which can be quite confusing for many students.


First let us see each of these in little detail(I am not going to  delve into their predefined definition but just simple tricks on how to recognize them):

FACT: -It can be some stastical data without conclusion drawn from it otherwise it ll be a inference.

• The government has been supplying free drugs since 2004, and 35000 have benefited up to now - though the size of the affected population is 150 times this number.

-Anyone else’s opinion stated by the author is a fact. Whereas the personal opinion will become a judgement.

-Universal truth  and habits.

• Water boils at 100 degrees Celcius.

-It is different from inference for it state without driving conclusion.

-Does not from person to person 

-And it is non-predictive in nature


INFERENCE: -It's a conclusion that you draw from the stated facts and data.But remember one important point that it has to be mild in tone .Adverb and adjective if present should be mild in tone and verifiable like 

•  Given the poor quality of service in the public sector, the HIV/AIDS affected should be switching to private initiatives that supply anti-retroviral drugs (ARVs) at a low cost.

"Poor quality" has a very strong tone and therefore,it cannot be categorised as inference ,on the contrary,it is a judgement."

JUDGEMENT: -It can be an opinion drawn from facts.But it has a strong tone attached to it.

•  Extensive disarmament is the only insurance for our future; imagine the amount of resources that can be released and redeployed. 
•  Inequitable distribution of all kinds of resources is certainly one of the strongest and most sinister sources of conflict.

Extensive ,certainly, strongest,most all such words qualify the above statements as judgements.

-Many times it may happen that the statement may conatin no facts but just a conclusion then it is definitely a judgement.

•  When this happens, each moment becomes a celebration of you; there is a rush of energy that comes with feeling completely immersed in doing what you love most.

-Quantities that cannot be measured like happy,joy etc,

•  This is the stuff that joyful living is made of- identifying your calling and committing yourself wholeheartedly to it.

As I have already exceeded my word limit,difference between inference and judgement will be explained in my next article .Till then ,you can download pagalguy question set for FIJs with the right approach to solve them.
