Close psych friend of mine who tests gifted kids has said this subtest is very difficult (to give the "right" answer) for highly abstract thinkers for reasons like you indicated. My son too scored quite poorly on this subtest (compared to others).

She actually predicted it may be "scrapped" in the next WISC..... And can be an issue in identifying gifted kids, especially as she put it the highly abstract thinking ones.
