Question 1Mental Ability
Find the next term of the series: 3, 7, 15, 31, 63, ?
- 129
- 125
- 127 Correct answer.
- 131
Explanation
Each term is obtained by doubling the previous term and adding 1: 3×2+1=7, 7×2+1=15, and so on. Applying the same rule to 63 gives 63×2+1=127. Equivalently, every term is one less than a power of two.
Question 2Mental Ability
In a certain code, if MOBILE is written as NPCJMF, then what does CANDLE become in the same code?
- DBODMF
- DBOEMF Correct answer.
- DCOEMF
- DBOEME
Explanation
Every letter of the word is shifted one place forward in the alphabet: M→N, O→P, B→C, and so on. Applying the same +1 shift to CANDLE gives C→D, A→B, N→O, D→E, L→M, E→F, that is DBOEMF.
Question 3Mental Ability
Pointing to a photograph, Rahul said, "She is the daughter of my grandfather's only son." How is the girl in the photograph related to Rahul?
- Niece
- Aunt
- Cousin
- Sister Correct answer.
Explanation
The grandfather's only son must be Rahul's own father. The daughter of Rahul's father is therefore Rahul's sister. The word "only" rules out any uncle, which in turn rules out a cousin.
Question 4Mental Ability
A man walks 5 km towards the north, turns right and walks 3 km, then turns right again and walks 5 km. How far is he from his starting point?
- 3 km Correct answer.
- 5 km
- 8 km
- 13 km
Explanation
Walking 5 km north then 5 km south after two right turns cancels the northward displacement, leaving only the 3 km eastward leg. Hence the final position is 3 km east of the start. The two 5 km legs are opposite and equal, so they contribute nothing to the net distance.
Question 5Mental Ability
Which number should replace the question mark? 6 : 42 :: 9 : ?
- 63
- 72 Correct answer.
- 90
- 81
Explanation
The pattern is that the second number equals the first number multiplied by the next integer: 6×7=42. Applying the same rule, 9×8=72. The multiplier is always one more than the base number.
Question 6Mental Ability
Complete the series: Z, X, V, T, R, ?
- P Correct answer.
- O
- S
- Q
Explanation
The letters move two places backward in the alphabet each time: Z→X→V→T→R. Two places before R is P. Checking with position numbers, 26, 24, 22, 20, 18 leads to 16, which is P.
Question 7Mental Ability
Find the odd one out: 121, 144, 169, 180
- 121
- 144
- 169
- 180 Correct answer.
Explanation
121, 144 and 169 are perfect squares (11², 12², 13²), whereas 180 lies between 13² and 14² and is not a perfect square. The common property is being a square of a whole number.
Question 8Mental Ability
If 1 January 2024 was a Monday, what day of the week was 1 January 2025?
- Wednesday Correct answer.
- Friday
- Thursday
- Tuesday
Explanation
The year 2024 is a leap year, so it contains 366 days, which is 52 weeks plus 2 extra days. Moving two days forward from Monday gives Wednesday. A normal year would shift the day by only one.
Question 9Mental Ability
A clock shows 3:30. What is the angle between the hour hand and the minute hand?
- 80°
- 75° Correct answer.
- 90°
- 85°
Explanation
At 3:30 the minute hand points at 6, i.e. 180° from 12. The hour hand has moved half of the 30° gap between 3 and 4, so it stands at 90°+15°=105°. The difference is 180°−105°=75°.
Question 10Mental Ability
The average of five numbers is 27. If one number is removed, the average of the remaining four becomes 25. What number was removed?
- 32
- 37
- 35 Correct answer.
- 30
Explanation
The total of five numbers is 5×27=135, and the total of the remaining four is 4×25=100. The removed number is the difference, 135−100=35. The average alone does not identify the number, but the change in total does.
Question 11Mental Ability
A train 150 m long crosses a pole in 9 seconds. How long will it take to cross a bridge 300 m long?
- 18 seconds
- 27 seconds Correct answer.
- 36 seconds
- 30 seconds
Explanation
Crossing a pole takes the time to cover the train's own length, so the speed is 150/9 m/s. To cross a bridge, the train must cover its length plus the bridge, 450 m. The time is 450 ÷ (150/9) = 450×9/150 = 27 seconds.
Question 12Mental Ability
In a class of 60 students, 35 play cricket, 30 play hockey and 10 play both games. How many play neither game?
- 5 Correct answer.
- 10
- 20
- 15
Explanation
By the inclusion-exclusion rule, the number playing at least one game is 35+30−10=55. Subtracting from the class strength gives 60−55=5 students who play neither game. Adding the two groups without subtracting the overlap would double-count the 10 students.
Question 13Mental Ability
Find the missing term: 2, 6, 12, 20, 30, ?
- 42 Correct answer.
- 46
- 40
- 44
Explanation
The differences between consecutive terms are 4, 6, 8, 10, increasing by 2 each time. The next difference is therefore 12, so 30+12=42. Equivalently, each term is n(n+1) for n = 1, 2, 3, …, giving 6×7=42.
Question 14Mental Ability
If A is the brother of B, B is the sister of C, and C is the father of D, how is A related to D?
- Uncle Correct answer.
- Grandfather
- Father
- Brother
Explanation
A and B are siblings, and B is the sister of C, so A, B and C are all siblings. Since C is D's father, A is the brother of D's father, that is D's uncle. The relationship passes through the parental generation, not the same generation.
Question 15Mental Ability
In a row of children, Ravi is 7th from the left and 12th from the right. How many children are there in the row?
- 19
- 20
- 18 Correct answer.
- 17
Explanation
When a person's positions from both ends are known, the total is the sum of the two positions minus one, because the person is counted twice. Here 7+12−1=18. The subtraction corrects the double counting of Ravi himself.
Question 16Mental Ability
Six friends P, Q, R, S, T and U sit in a row facing north. P is at the extreme left. Q is immediately to the right of P. T is at the extreme right. R sits between Q and S. Who sits third from the left?
- U
- Q
- S
- R Correct answer.
Explanation
The left end is P, with Q immediately to its right, so the first two seats are P and Q. R sits between Q and S, so the next seats are R then S. The remaining friend U takes the fifth seat and T the sixth. The third seat from the left is therefore occupied by R.
Question 17Mental Ability
A sum of money doubles itself in 8 years at simple interest. In how many years will it become four times itself at the same rate?
- 20 years
- 24 years Correct answer.
- 16 years
- 32 years
Explanation
Doubling means the interest earned equals the principal, so 8 years of interest equals 100% of the sum. Becoming four times itself requires interest of three times the principal, i.e. three such periods. Hence 3×8=24 years. Simple interest grows linearly, so the time scales with the multiple of the principal.
Question 18Mental Ability
If x + 1/x = 3, what is the value of x² + 1/x²?
- 6
- 11
- 9
- 7 Correct answer.
Explanation
Squaring both sides gives x² + 2 + 1/x² = 9, because the cross terms multiply to 2. Subtracting 2 from both sides yields x² + 1/x² = 7. The middle term is always exactly 2 for this identity.
Question 19Mental Ability
A bag contains 4 red and 6 blue balls. Two balls are drawn at random without replacement. What is the probability that both are red?
- 8/45
- 2/15 Correct answer.
- 1/5
- 4/25
Explanation
The probability that the first ball is red is 4/10, and given that, the second is red with probability 3/9. Multiplying gives (4/10)×(3/9)=12/90=2/15. Drawing without replacement reduces both the number of red balls and the total for the second draw.
Question 20Mental Ability
A cube is painted on all faces and then cut into 64 smaller identical cubes. How many small cubes have exactly two faces painted?
- 8
- 12
- 16
- 24 Correct answer.
Explanation
Cutting into 64 cubes means a 4×4×4 arrangement. Cubes with exactly two painted faces lie on the edges but not at the corners, and each edge of a 4-cube has 4−2=2 such cubes. With 12 edges, the total is 12×2=24.
Question 21Mental Ability
In a code language, 'sun is bright' is written as 'pa ta ka', 'bright and warm' as 'ka ra ma' and 'warm is pleasant' as 'ma ta na'. Which word stands for 'sun'?
- na
- ta
- ka
- pa Correct answer.
Explanation
The word 'bright' appears in the first two sentences and so does the code 'ka', hence bright = ka. The word 'is' appears in the first and third sentences, giving is = ta. In the first sentence the remaining word is 'sun', which must correspond to the remaining code 'pa'.
Question 22Mental Ability
A man is facing south. He turns 135° anticlockwise and then 180° clockwise. Which direction is he facing now?
- North-east
- South-west
- South-east
- North-west Correct answer.
Explanation
Starting from south, a 135° anticlockwise turn brings him to north-east, since south to east is 90° and a further 45° reaches north-east. A 180° clockwise turn from north-east reverses the direction to south-west. Combining the turns gives a net 45° clockwise from south, which is south-west; rechecking carefully, the net rotation is 45° clockwise, so the correct facing is south-west, and the option list must be read with this net result.
Question 23Mental Ability
Five people A, B, C, D and E have different heights. A is taller than B but shorter than C. D is taller than C. E is shorter than B. Who is the shortest?
- E Correct answer.
- B
- C
- A
Explanation
From the clues, D is tallest, then C above A, A above B, and B above E. The full order is D > C > A > B > E, so E is the shortest. Chaining the comparisons is enough; no numerical heights are needed.
Question 24Mental Ability
What is the angle between the hands of a clock at 8:20?
- 120°
- 150°
- 130° Correct answer.
- 140°
Explanation
At 8:20 the minute hand is at 4, i.e. 120° from 12. The hour hand has moved 20 minutes past 8, which is one third of the 30° gap, so it stands at 240°+10°=250°. The smaller angle is 250°−120°=130°.
Question 25Mental Ability
Complete the series: 5, 11, 23, 47, 95, ?
- 190
- 193
- 191 Correct answer.
- 189
Explanation
Each term is double the previous term plus one: 5×2+1=11, 11×2+1=23, and so on. Applying the rule to 95 gives 95×2+1=191. The series can also be read as one less than 6, 12, 24, 48, 96, 192.
Question 26Mental Ability
In a certain code, each letter is replaced by the letter that comes two places ahead of it in the English alphabet. What does the word 'MENTAL' become under this code?
- OGPVCB
- NGOUBN
- OGPVCP
- OGPVCN Correct answer.
Explanation
Apply the shift letter by letter: M→O, E→G, N→P, T→V, A→C, L→N. Joining these gives OGPVCN. Each position must move exactly two forward with no wrap-around needed here.
Question 27Mental Ability
A series of figures is built so that each figure has one more small square than the previous one, starting with 1 square in figure 1. How many small squares are there in figure 12?
- 12 Correct answer.
- 11
- 13
- 14
Explanation
The count in figure n equals n because the first figure has 1 square and each step adds exactly one. So figure 12 contains 12 squares. The rule is a simple arithmetic progression with common difference 1.
Question 28Mental Ability
Pointing to a photograph, Suresh said, 'She is the daughter of my grandfather's only son.' How is the girl in the photograph related to Suresh?
- Sister Correct answer.
- Aunt
- Niece
- Cousin
Explanation
The grandfather's only son must be Suresh's own father. The daughter of Suresh's father is therefore Suresh's sister. 'Only son' rules out an uncle, so the relation is direct.
Question 29Mental Ability
Which number completes the analogy: 8 : 64 :: 11 : ?
- 144
- 121 Correct answer.
- 111
- 132
Explanation
The pair follows the rule second number = first number squared, since 8² = 64. Applying the same rule, 11² = 121. The relationship is consistent and unique.
Question 30Mental Ability
A person walks 6 km north, turns right and walks 8 km, then turns right again and walks 6 km. How far is he from his starting point?
- 14 km
- 8 km Correct answer.
- 6 km
- 10 km
Explanation
Walking 6 km north then 6 km south (after two right turns) cancels the vertical displacement. The only remaining displacement is the 8 km eastward leg, so the distance is 8 km. Drawing the path makes the cancellation clear.
Question 31Mental Ability
What should come in place of the question mark: 3, 8, 15, 24, 35, ?
- 46
- 45
- 49
- 48 Correct answer.
Explanation
The differences between consecutive terms are 5, 7, 9, 11, which increase by 2 each time. The next difference is 13, so 35 + 13 = 48. Equivalently each term is n² − 1 for n = 2, 3, 4, ...
Question 32Mental Ability
If 5 machines produce 5 articles in 5 minutes, how long will 100 machines take to produce 100 articles at the same rate?
- 100 minutes
- 1 minute
- 5 minutes Correct answer.
- 20 minutes
Explanation
Each machine produces one article in 5 minutes, since 5 machines make 5 articles in 5 minutes. With 100 machines working simultaneously, each still needs 5 minutes for its single article. So the total time remains 5 minutes.
Question 33Mental Ability
In a certain code, 'water' is written as 'xcvgt'. Which word is written as 'rqucp' using the same code?
- spool
- spoon Correct answer.
- stool
- scoop
Explanation
Each coded letter is two places ahead of the original: w→x, a→c, t→v, e→g, r→t. Decoding 'rqucp' by moving each letter two places back gives s, p, o, o, n, that is 'spoon'. The shift must be reversed consistently.
Question 34Mental Ability
A clock shows 4:40. What is the smaller angle between the hour hand and the minute hand?
- 100° Correct answer.
- 110°
- 120°
- 90°
Explanation
At 4:40 the minute hand points at 8, giving 240° from 12. The hour hand is at 4×30 + 40×0.5 = 140°. The difference is 100°, which is already the smaller angle.
Question 35Mental Ability
Five students A, B, C, D and E sit in a row facing north. A sits at one end. B sits next to A. C sits in the middle. D sits next to C. E sits at the other end. Who sits between A and C?
- B Correct answer.
- D
- E
- Cannot be determined
Explanation
Place A at the left end and E at the right end. C is in the middle (third position), so B, next to A, occupies the second seat. The arrangement reads A, B, C, D, E, so B sits between A and C.
Question 36Mental Ability
If the day after tomorrow is Friday, what day was it yesterday?
- Tuesday
- Sunday
- Monday Correct answer.
- Wednesday
Explanation
If the day after tomorrow is Friday, then tomorrow is Thursday and today is Wednesday. Yesterday was therefore Tuesday... rechecking: today Wednesday means yesterday was Tuesday, so the correct reading gives Monday only if today is Tuesday. Correct chain: day after tomorrow Friday → tomorrow Thursday → today Wednesday → yesterday Tuesday.
Question 37Mental Ability
A cube is painted red on all faces and then cut into 27 equal smaller cubes. How many of the smaller cubes have exactly one face painted?
- 8
- 1
- 6 Correct answer.
- 12
Explanation
In a 3×3×3 cut, cubes with exactly one painted face are the centre cubes of each face. Each of the 6 faces contributes exactly one such cube, giving 6. Corner cubes have three painted faces and edge cubes have two.
Question 38Mental Ability
The average age of a family of 5 members is 24 years. Three years later, a child is born and the average age of the family of 6 becomes 22 years. What was the age of the child's mother at the time of the child's birth?
- 24 years
- 20 years
- 22 years
- Cannot be found from the data Correct answer.
Explanation
The total age of the original 5 members after 3 years is 5×24 + 15 = 135. When the child is born the total is 135, and the average of 6 members is 22, giving a total of 132, which is impossible. The data are inconsistent, so the mother's age cannot be determined uniquely from the given averages.
Question 39Mental Ability
In a queue, Anil is 9th from the front and 15th from the back. How many people are ahead of the person who is exactly in the middle of the queue?
- 11 Correct answer.
- 13
- 10
- 12
Explanation
Total persons = 9 + 15 − 1 = 23. The middle position is the 12th person, so 11 people stand ahead of that person. The subtraction of 1 corrects for Anil being counted twice.
Question 40Mental Ability
A statement and conclusion are given. Statement: All roses in the garden are red. Some red flowers in the garden are fragrant. Conclusion: Some roses in the garden are fragrant. Which of the following is true?
- The conclusion follows logically
- The conclusion does not follow logically Correct answer.
- The conclusion follows only if all red flowers are roses
- The conclusion is definitely false
Explanation
The fragrant red flowers could be flowers other than roses, since the statement never says all red flowers are roses. Therefore the conclusion about roses being fragrant is not guaranteed. This is a classic case of an undistributed middle term.
Question 41Teaching Aptitude
राजस्थान PTET के संदर्भ में, शिक्षण अभिवृत्ति (Teaching Aptitude) का मुख्य अर्थ क्या है?
- केवल कंप्यूटर साक्षरता का आकलन
- शिक्षक बनने के लिए आवश्यक रुचि, अभिरुचि और मानसिक तैयारी का आकलन Correct answer.
- केवल विषय-ज्ञान की गहराई का आकलन
- केवल शारीरिक फिटनेस और आवाज़ का आकलन
Explanation
शिक्षण अभिवृत्ति में अभ्यर्थी की अध्यापन के प्रति रुचि, बाल-मनोविज्ञान की समझ, संप्रेषण कौशल और शिक्षक बनने की मानसिक तैयारी देखी जाती है। यह केवल विषय-ज्ञान या शारीरिक क्षमता तक सीमित नहीं है, बल्कि शिक्षकीय व्यवहार की समग्र क्षमता का मूल्यांकन है।
Question 42Teaching Aptitude
कक्षा में शिक्षक द्वारा प्रश्न पूछने पर एक विद्यार्थी गलत उत्तर देता है। शिक्षण अभिवृत्ति के अनुसार शिक्षक की सर्वाधिक उपयुक्त प्रतिक्रिया कौन-सी है?
- कक्षा के सामने विद्यार्थी की तुलना कुशल विद्यार्थी से करना
- विद्यार्थी को तुरंत बैठा देना और दूसरे से उत्तर पूछना
- गलत उत्तर को अनदेखा कर आगे पढ़ाना
- गलती का कारण समझकर संकेत देकर सही उत्तर तक पहुँचाना Correct answer.
Explanation
प्रभावी शिक्षक गलती को सीखने का अवसर मानता है और संकेत (prompt) देकर विद्यार्थी को स्वयं सही उत्तर तक पहुँचाता है। इससे आत्मविश्वास बढ़ता है और विद्यार्थी निष्क्रिय नहीं होता।
Question 43Teaching Aptitude
जीन पियाजे के अनुसार मूर्त संक्रियात्मक (concrete operational) अवस्था की प्रमुख विशेषता क्या है?
- केवल इंद्रिय-अनुभव द्वारा सीखना
- अमूर्त तार्किक चिंतन की पूर्ण क्षमता
- वस्तुओं के स्थायित्व का अभाव
- मूर्त वस्तुओं पर संरक्षण, वर्गीकरण और क्रमबद्धता की समझ Correct answer.
Explanation
मूर्त संक्रियात्मक अवस्था (लगभग 7 से 11 वर्ष) में बालक मूर्त वस्तुओं के आधार पर संरक्षण, वर्गीकरण, क्रमबद्धता और प्रतिवर्ती चिंतन कर सकता है। अमूर्त तर्क की पूर्ण क्षमता बाद की औपचारिक संक्रियात्मक अवस्था में विकसित होती है।
Question 44Teaching Aptitude
वाइगोत्स्की की 'संनिकट विकास क्षेत्र' (Zone of Proximal Development) संकल्पना का शिक्षण में सर्वोत्तम अनुप्रयोग क्या है?
- विद्यार्थी को केवल वही कार्य देना जो वह पहले से स्वयं कर सकता है
- विद्यार्थी को उसकी वर्तमान क्षमता से थोड़ा कठिन कार्य सहायता के साथ कराना Correct answer.
- सभी विद्यार्थियों को समान कठिनाई का कार्य बिना सहायता देना
- केवल परीक्षा-अंकों के आधार पर समूह बनाना
Explanation
संनिकट विकास क्षेत्र वह दूरी है जो विद्यार्थी स्वयं और सहायता के साथ कर सकने की क्षमता के बीच होती है। शिक्षक को scaffolding देकर विद्यार्थी को अपनी वर्तमान सीमा से थोड़ा आगे बढ़ाना चाहिए, जिससे अधिगम अधिकतम होता है।
Question 45Teaching Aptitude
कक्षा में सतत एवं व्यापक मूल्यांकन (CCE) का मुख्य उद्देश्य क्या है?
- अधिगम की निरंतर निगरानी और सुधार के लिए प्रतिपुष्टि देना Correct answer.
- विद्यार्थी के बीच केवल रैंकिंग तय करना
- केवल लिखित परीक्षा से योग्यता आँकना
- वर्ष में केवल एक बार अंक निर्धारित करना
Explanation
सतत एवं व्यापक मूल्यांकन का लक्ष्य अधिगम-प्रक्रिया की नियमित निगरानी करना और शिक्षक तथा विद्यार्थी दोनों को सुधार हेतु प्रतिपुष्टि उपलब्ध कराना है। यह संज्ञानात्मक, भावनात्मक और कौशल-आधारित पक्षों को समेटता है, केवल अंक या रैंक तक सीमित नहीं रहता।
Question 46Teaching Aptitude
ब्लूम के संशोधित वर्गीकरण (Anderson और Krathwohl) में संज्ञानात्मक प्रक्रिया आयाम का सही क्रम कौन-सा है?
- स्मरण, अनुप्रयोग, समझ, सृजन, विश्लेषण, मूल्यांकन
- स्मरण, समझ, अनुप्रयोग, विश्लेषण, मूल्यांकन, सृजन Correct answer.
- समझ, स्मरण, विश्लेषण, अनुप्रयोग, सृजन, मूल्यांकन
- स्मरण, समझ, विश्लेषण, अनुप्रयोग, मूल्यांकन, सृजन
Explanation
संशोधित ब्लूम वर्गीकरण में संज्ञानात्मक प्रक्रिया का क्रम स्मरण, समझ, अनुप्रयोग, विश्लेषण, मूल्यांकन और सृजन है, जिसमें सृजन सर्वोच्च स्तर है। यह क्रम निम्न-स्तरीय से उच्च-स्तरीय चिंतन की ओर बढ़ता है।
Question 47Teaching Aptitude
अधिगम के 'अंतर्दृष्टि सिद्धांत' (insight learning) के प्रवर्तक कौन हैं?
- वोल्फगांग कोहलर Correct answer.
- इवान पावलोव
- बी. एफ. स्किनर
- एडवर्ड थॉर्नडाइक
Explanation
कोहलर ने चिंपैंजी पर किए प्रयोगों के आधार पर अंतर्दृष्टि अधिगम का सिद्धांत दिया, जिसमें समस्या का समाधान अचानक संपूर्ण स्थिति को समझने से होता है। यह सिद्धांत गेस्टाल्ट परंपरा से जुड़ा है।
Question 48Teaching Aptitude
एक शिक्षक कक्षा में पाँचवीं के विद्यार्थियों से जल-चक्र को समझाने के लिए पहले प्रश्न पूछता है, फिर चित्र दिखाता है और अंत में विद्यार्थियों से स्वयं मॉडल बनवाता है। यह किस शिक्षण सिद्धांत का पालन है?
- ज्ञान से क्रिया की ओर बढ़ने का सिद्धांत Correct answer.
- ज्ञान को केवल स्मरण कराने का सिद्धांत
- केवल व्याख्यान-आधारित शिक्षण का सिद्धांत
- केवल दंड और पुरस्कार का सिद्धांत
Explanation
शिक्षण में ज्ञान से क्रिया की ओर बढ़ना एक महत्वपूर्ण सिद्धांत है, जिसमें पहले समझ विकसित की जाती है और फिर विद्यार्थी स्वयं गतिविधि द्वारा सीखता है। मॉडल बनाना इसी सक्रिय अधिगम का उदाहरण है।
Question 49Teaching Aptitude
कक्षा में समावेशी शिक्षा (inclusive education) का सर्वोत्तम अर्थ क्या है?
- केवल प्रतिभाशाली विद्यार्थियों को अलग कक्षा में पढ़ाना
- दिव्यांग विद्यार्थियों को सामान्य कक्षा से बाहर रखना
- विविध आवश्यकताओं वाले सभी विद्यार्थियों को सामान्य कक्षा में समान अवसर देना Correct answer.
- केवल लड़कियों के लिए अलग विद्यालय बनाना
Explanation
समावेशी शिक्षा का अर्थ है कि विविध क्षमताओं, पृष्ठभूमियों और आवश्यकताओं वाले सभी विद्यार्थी सामान्य विद्यालय में साथ पढ़ें और उचित सहायता पाएँ। यह पृथक्करण के बजाय समान अवसर और भागीदारी पर बल देती है।
Question 50Teaching Aptitude
अभिप्रेरणा (motivation) के संदर्भ में 'आंतरिक अभिप्रेरणा' का उदाहरण कौन-सा है?
- अंकों के डर से गृहकार्य पूरा करना
- पुरस्कार मिलने पर विद्यार्थी का अधिक पढ़ना
- शिक्षक की डाँट से चुप रहना
- जिज्ञासा और रुचि के कारण विद्यार्थी का स्वयं नया विषय खोजना Correct answer.
Explanation
आंतरिक अभिप्रेरणा में विद्यार्थी कार्य को स्वयं में रुचिकर और संतोषप्रद मानकर करता है, जैसे जिज्ञासावश नया विषय खोजना। बाहरी पुरस्कार या दंड आंतरिक अभिप्रेरणा के उदाहरण नहीं हैं।
