Figural Analogy Transformations Flashcards

Figure A is a small pentagon. Figure B is a large pentagon. Figure C is a small octagon. Figure D is:

Answer: A large octagon

The transformation scales the shape up in size, preserving the shape type from C.

A shape with 4 sides gains 1 side to become a 5-sided shape. A shape with 6 sides undergoes the same transformation. The result has:

Answer: 7 sides

Adding one side to a hexagon (6 sides) produces a heptagon (7 sides).

A horizontal ellipse is transformed into a vertical ellipse. A horizontal rectangle is transformed by the same rule. The result is:

Answer: A vertical rectangle

Rotating the orientation from horizontal to vertical applies to the rectangle as it did to the ellipse.

In an analogy, a gray-shaded shape becomes a white shape with a gray border. A black-filled shape becomes:

Answer: A white shape with a black border

The fill color moves to the border and the interior becomes white, regardless of the specific shade.

Figure A: a shape with 3 internal dots arranged in a triangle. Figure B: the same shape with the dots arranged in a straight horizontal line. Figure C: a shape with 4 internal dots in a square arrangement. Figure D:

Answer: The same shape with 4 dots in a straight horizontal line

The transformation changes the dot arrangement to a straight horizontal line, preserving the dot count from C.

A figure composed of two squares side by side transforms into two squares stacked vertically. A figure composed of two triangles side by side transforms into:

Answer: Two triangles stacked vertically

The spatial relationship changes from horizontal arrangement to vertical arrangement, applied to the triangles.

Shape A has a thick border and a light gray fill. Shape B has no border and a dark gray fill. The transformation:

Answer: Removes the border and darkens the fill

The border is removed and the fill color becomes darker in a single combined transformation step.
