EDPT Figural Analogy Transformations 5 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: Figure A is a small pentagon. Figure B is a large pentagon. Figure C is a small octagon. Figure D is:
- A large octagon (Correct answer)
- A small octagon
- A large pentagon
- A medium octagon
Correct answer: A large octagon
The transformation scales the shape up in size, preserving the shape type from C.
Question 2: 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:
- 7 sides (Correct answer)
- 5 sides
- 6 sides
- 8 sides
Correct answer: 7 sides
Adding one side to a hexagon (6 sides) produces a heptagon (7 sides).
Question 3: A horizontal ellipse is transformed into a vertical ellipse. A horizontal rectangle is transformed by the same rule. The result is:
- A vertical rectangle (Correct answer)
- A square
- A horizontal rectangle unchanged
- A diagonal rectangle
Correct answer: A vertical rectangle
Rotating the orientation from horizontal to vertical applies to the rectangle as it did to the ellipse.
Question 4: In an analogy, a gray-shaded shape becomes a white shape with a gray border. A black-filled shape becomes:
- A white shape with a black border (Correct answer)
- A black shape with a gray border
- A gray-filled shape
- A white shape with no border
Correct 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.
Question 5: 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:
- The same shape with 4 dots in a straight horizontal line (Correct answer)
- The same shape with 3 dots in a horizontal line
- The same shape with dots in a diagonal line
- The shape with no dots
Correct 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.
Question 6: 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:
- Two triangles stacked vertically (Correct answer)
- Two triangles merged into one
- Two triangles side by side rotated 90 degrees
- A single larger triangle
Correct answer: Two triangles stacked vertically
The spatial relationship changes from horizontal arrangement to vertical arrangement, applied to the triangles.
Question 7: Shape A has a thick border and a light gray fill. Shape B has no border and a dark gray fill. The transformation:
- Removes the border and darkens the fill (Correct answer)
- Removes both border and fill
- Adds an inner border and lightens the fill
- Darkens the border and lightens the fill
Correct answer: Removes the border and darkens the fill
The border is removed and the fill color becomes darker in a single combined transformation step.
