CogAT Nonverbal Figure Matrices 5

Question 1

A matrix shows a shape and its color swapping between two shapes across the row. If the bottom-left is a black circle and white square pair, what completes a swap?

Accepted Answer

A white circle and black square

Answer

Swapping the colors flips the circle to white and the square to black.

Question 2

Each row removes the outermost shape from a set of nested shapes. The bottom row shows a circle inside a square inside a triangle, then a blank. What remains?

Accepted Answer

A circle inside a square

Answer

Removing the outer triangle leaves the circle inside the square.

Question 3

A matrix shows a line growing by one segment each step, bending at a right angle. After two bends, how many segments does the missing figure have?

Accepted Answer

Three segments

Answer

Each step adds a segment, so two bends produce three segments.

Question 4

In a matrix, a shape alternates between filled and empty across the row. If the first is filled and the second is empty, what is the third?

Accepted Answer

Filled

Answer

The alternating pattern returns to filled in the third cell.

Question 5

A matrix shows a figure reflected across a diagonal line each step. If the bottom-left has a dot in the top-left corner, where is the dot after reflection?

Accepted Answer

Bottom-right corner

Answer

A diagonal reflection moves a top-left dot to the bottom-right.
