MENSA Logical Reasoning 1

Question 1

Choose the image that completes the pattern

Accepted Answer

A

Answer

The pattern involves a small square moving clockwise around the larger square, advancing one position at each step. Additionally, the number of dots inside the small square increases by one in each subsequent image. Following this sequence, the next image should show the small square in the top-right corner with four dots.

Question 2

Choose the image that completes the pattern

Accepted Answer

C

Answer

This pattern features a central shape that rotates 90 degrees clockwise with each progression. Simultaneously, the number of smaller shapes surrounding the central figure alternates between two and three. Therefore, the correct image completes the sequence by showing the central shape rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the previous image, accompanied by three smaller shapes.

Question 3

Choose the image that completes the pattern

Accepted Answer

B

Answer

The pattern involves two main elements: a large outer shape and a small inner shape. The large shape alternates between a square and a circle. The small shape alternates between a star and a triangle, and also moves between the top and bottom positions. Following this, the next image should feature a circle as the large shape and a triangle positioned at the bottom.

Question 4

Choose the image that completes the pattern

Accepted Answer

D

Answer

The pattern progresses by increasing the number of sides of the outer polygon by one in each step (triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon). Concurrently, the number of dots inside the polygon also increases by one. Therefore, the next image in the sequence should be a hexagon containing four dots.

Question 5

Choose the image that completes the pattern

Accepted Answer

A

Answer

This pattern involves a central shape that rotates 90 degrees clockwise in each step. The smaller shapes around it alternate between being present and absent, and their position also rotates clockwise. The correct image completes the sequence by showing the central shape rotated 90 degrees clockwise from the previous image, with the smaller shapes in their next rotational position.
