In a figure classification item, three shapes are all shaded triangles and one is an unshaded triangle. Which feature makes the odd one out different?
Answer: The shading (fill)
All are triangles, so only the fill differs, making the unshaded one the odd shape.
A figure analogy shows: small square is to large square as small circle is to ___?
Answer: Large circle
The relationship is 'made larger,' so the small circle becomes a large circle.
Four figures show dots: 1 dot, 2 dots, 3 dots, and 4 dots. What rule governs this series?
Answer: Add one dot each step
Each figure adds exactly one dot, increasing by one each time.
In figure classification, you must pick the shape that does NOT belong. Three shapes have a line of symmetry and one does not. The correct answer is the shape that:
Answer: Lacks a line of symmetry
The grouping rule is symmetry, so the asymmetrical shape is the odd one out.
An arrow points up, then right, then down. Following a clockwise rotation pattern, where should the next arrow point?
Answer: Left
Up, right, down, then left completes the 90-degree clockwise rotation sequence.
A figure shows a star inside a circle. Its matching analogy partner shows a star inside a square. The transformation is:
Answer: The outer shape changed
Only the surrounding outer shape changed from circle to square.
Which of these is the best strategy for figure analysis questions under time pressure?
Answer: Identify the rule, then check options
Finding the underlying rule before scanning answers leads to accurate, efficient choices.
