FREE MENSA Spatial Reasoning Questions and Answers
Which of the given shape is the correct mirror image?
The easiest approach is to start as close to the mirror line as possible and work further away. You can see in this case that there are two circles slightly on top of each other so the answer must be A or D. If you assess the positioning of the outer circles, you can see the answer must be A.
What would the 3D shape look like from above?
When looking from above, height doesn't matter so the simplest thing to do is work out the outline of the shape. Once you have this you can see that it must be A which is a triangle with a kind of jagged edge.
Which of the given shapes is the rotation of the main image?
Pick a section and rotate it step-by-step. It's easiest if you pick a large section like the orange circles in the top right-hand corner with the blue circle next to it. If you rotate this you can see the answer is C where the same pattern is in the bottom right hand corner.
Which of the given shapes is the same 3D shape but in a different position?
You can see that the two large blocks are adjacent which rules out B. The thinner blocks sits inside the larger block which rules out A and C so the answer must be B.
Which of the given shapes is a rotation of the main inmage?
The blue circle is opposite blue stars so it must be B or D. The big square is clockwise of the blue circle so the answer must be D
