NNAT3 Analogies 3 — Questions and Answers
Question 1: A thin horizontal line is to a thick horizontal line as a thin vertical line is to:
- A thin diagonal line
- A thick horizontal line
- A thick vertical line (Correct answer)
- Two thin vertical lines
Correct answer: A thick vertical line
The line changes from thin to thick while its orientation remains the same.
Question 2: A square with all four corners filled with small dots is to a square with only two opposite corners filled as a circle with four marks on its edge is to:
- A circle with no marks
- A circle with two opposite marks (Correct answer)
- A circle with three marks
- A square with two opposite marks
Correct answer: A circle with two opposite marks
The number of marks is halved and placed at opposite positions on the same shape.
Question 3: A pattern of alternating black and white squares in a row of 4 starting with black is to the same row starting with white as a column of 4 starting with black is to:
- A column starting with white (Correct answer)
- A row starting with black
- A row starting with white
- A column of all black squares
Correct answer: A column starting with white
The starting color switches from black to white while the arrangement (column) stays the same.
Question 4: A large outer circle containing a medium circle containing a small circle is to a large outer square containing a medium square as a large outer triangle containing a medium triangle containing a small triangle is to:
- A large outer triangle containing a medium triangle (Correct answer)
- Three concentric triangles
- A large outer circle containing a small circle
- A large outer square containing a small square
Correct answer: A large outer triangle containing a medium triangle
Removing the innermost shape leaves just two nested shapes of the same type.
Question 5: A shape made of 5 connected squares (cross pattern) is to a shape made of 4 connected squares (L-shape) as a shape of 5 connected circles (cross) is to:
- A shape of 5 connected circles in a line
- A shape of 4 connected circles in an L-shape (Correct answer)
- A shape of 3 connected circles
- A shape of 4 connected squares in an L-shape
Correct answer: A shape of 4 connected circles in an L-shape
The arrangement changes from cross to L-shape while the unit shape changes from squares to circles.
Question 6: A triangle with a horizontal line through its middle is to a circle with a horizontal line through its middle as a pentagon with a vertical line through its middle is to:
- A pentagon with a diagonal line
- A triangle with a vertical line
- A circle with a vertical line through its middle (Correct answer)
- A hexagon with a vertical line
Correct answer: A circle with a vertical line through its middle
The inner line direction stays the same (vertical) while the outer shape changes to match the new context.
Question 7: Two shapes side by side where the left is large and light and the right is small and dark is to two shapes where the left is small and dark and the right is large and light as:
- The same pair reversed left to right (Correct answer)
- Two identical shapes
- A single large light shape
- Two shapes both small and dark
Correct answer: The same pair reversed left to right
The relationship mirrors the pair — large/light on left swaps with small/dark on right.
