NNAT Reasoning by Analogy

Question 1

In a figural analogy A:B::C:?, how do you find the answer?

Accepted Answer

Identify the transformation from A to B, then apply the same to C

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

A small triangle

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

Rotate the third shape 90 degrees clockwise

Answer

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?

Accepted Answer

The same shape with stripes and added shading

Answer

The transformation adds shading without removing existing features.

Question 5

What is a double transformation in figural analogies?

Accepted Answer

Two changes happen simultaneously, like rotating and changing color

Answer

Double transformations involve two simultaneous changes.
