Figural Analogy Transformations Flashcards

Figure A has three horizontal lines stacked. Figure B has three vertical lines side by side. Figure C has four horizontal lines. What is Figure D?

Answer: Four vertical lines side by side

The transformation rotates the orientation from horizontal to vertical, and the count is preserved from C.

A solid black star is transformed into a star outline. A solid black cross is transformed into:

Answer: A cross outline

Removing the fill to leave only the outline is applied consistently to any solid shape.

Shape A is a circle with one horizontal line through its center. Shape B is a circle with two horizontal lines through its center. Shape C is a square with one horizontal line. Shape D is:

Answer: A square with two horizontal lines

The number of lines increases by one in the A→B pair, so the same increase applies to C→D.

An upward-pointing arrow doubles in length. A rightward-pointing arrow undergoes the same transformation. The result is:

Answer: A rightward-pointing arrow twice as long

Doubling in length applies to the arrow regardless of its direction.

Figure A: a square with a dot in each corner (4 dots). Figure B: a square with a dot only in the top-left corner (1 dot). Figure C: a triangle with a dot at each vertex (3 dots). Figure D is:

Answer: A triangle with a dot only at the top vertex

The transformation reduces dots to only the first (top-most) position, applied to the triangle's top vertex.

A rectangle is outlined with dashes. After transformation it is outlined with solid lines. A circle outlined with dashes becomes:

Answer: A circle outlined with solid lines

Changing dash outline to solid outline is the transformation, applied to any shape.

Shape A has a white background with a black triangle. Shape B has a black background with a white triangle. Shape C has a white background with a black circle. Shape D is:

Answer: A black background with a white circle

The figure-ground inversion swaps foreground and background colors consistently.
