PI - Cognitive Assessment Abstract Reasoning Analogies 3

Question 1

Striped rectangle is to spotted rectangle as striped triangle is to:

Spotted triangle

Answer

The shape stays the same while the fill pattern changes from striped to spotted. So a striped triangle becomes a spotted triangle.

Question 2

Removing one quarter of a circle leaves a three-quarter arc. Removing one quarter of a square's perimeter (one side/corner) leaves an L-shape.

Question 3
