Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Shape Morphing and Size Transformation

Question 1

In a 3×3 matrix, shapes increase in size from column 1 (small) to column 2 (medium) to column 3 (large) across every row. The missing cell is in row 2, column 3. What size is the shape?

Accepted Answer

Large

Answer

Every row follows the same small-to-large size progression, so column 3 always contains a large shape.

Question 2

Column 1 shows a shape alone, column 2 shows the shape with a nested inner copy of itself, and column 3 shows the shape with an inner copy plus a center dot. The missing row 2, column 3 cell contains a square with inner square and ___?

Accepted Answer

A center dot

Answer

Column 3 consistently adds a center dot to the outer-plus-inner-shape combination seen in column 2.

Question 3

Row 1 contains pentagons, row 2 contains hexagons, and row 3 contains heptagons across all columns, with shapes decreasing in size left to right. The missing cell in row 3, column 3 shows a small ___?

Accepted Answer

Heptagon

Answer

Row 3 uses heptagons throughout, and column 3 shows the smallest version of the row's defining shape.

Question 4

Every row in a matrix shows shapes morphing across columns: column 1 is a circle, column 2 is an oval, and column 3 is a rectangle. The missing cell is in row 3, column 3. What shape appears?

Accepted Answer

Rectangle

Answer

Column 3 always shows rectangles as the endpoint of the circular-to-rectangular morph sequence in every row.

Question 5

A matrix shows shapes with increasing side counts per column: triangles (3 sides) in column 1, squares (4 sides) in column 2, and pentagons (5 sides) in column 3. The missing cell is in row 2, column 3. What shape appears?

Accepted Answer

Pentagon

Answer

Column 3 always contains pentagons, as the number of sides increases by exactly one per column.
