NNAT Reasoning by Analogy 1 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: In a figural analogy A:B::C:?, how do you find the answer?
- Identify the transformation from A to B, then apply the same to C (Correct answer)
- Choose the shape most similar to B
- Choose the most complex option
- Choose the shape similar to C
Correct answer: Identify the transformation from A to B, then apply the same to C
Identify what changed (rotation, size, color) between A and B, then apply identical changes to C.
Question 2: If a large circle becomes small in the analogy, and C is a large triangle, what is the answer?
- A small triangle (Correct answer)
- A large square
- A small circle
- A large triangle
Correct answer: A small triangle
The transformation is size reduction. Applied to a large triangle, it produces a small triangle.
Question 3: An analogy shows 90-degree clockwise rotation. How do you apply this?
- Rotate the third shape 90 degrees clockwise (Correct answer)
- Rotate counterclockwise
- Flip upside down
- Keep same orientation
Correct answer: Rotate the third shape 90 degrees clockwise
The rotation direction and degree must match exactly.
Question 4: A white shape becomes shaded. The next shape has stripes. What should the answer look like?
- The same shape with stripes and added shading (Correct answer)
- Only shading replacing stripes
- A different shape with shading
- White without stripes
Correct answer: The same shape with stripes and added shading
The transformation adds shading without removing existing features.
Question 5: What is a double transformation in figural analogies?
- Two changes happen simultaneously, like rotating and changing color (Correct answer)
- The analogy repeats twice
- Two correct answers
- Shapes doubled in number
Correct answer: Two changes happen simultaneously, like rotating and changing color
Double transformations involve two simultaneous changes.
Question 6: A circle with a dot inside becomes an empty circle. What rule applies?
- Internal elements are removed; outer shape preserved (Correct answer)
- The shape changes
- Dots always disappear
- The shape gets smaller
Correct answer: Internal elements are removed; outer shape preserved
The transformation removes interior elements while keeping the outer shape.
