Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Shading and Fill Pattern Rules 3

Question 1

A matrix shows fill proportion increasing per row: row 1 is 1/4 filled, row 2 is 1/2 filled, and row 3 is ___?

Accepted Answer

3/4 filled

Answer

Fill proportion increases by 1/4 per row, making all row 3 cells consistently 3/4 filled.

Question 2

Each column has a consistent fill style throughout the matrix: column 1 has diagonal stripes, column 2 has dots, and column 3 has solid fill. The missing cell is in column 3. What fill does it show?

Accepted Answer

Solid fill

Answer

Column 3 always uses solid fill regardless of the row, as fill style is determined by column position.

Question 3

A matrix has a no-repeat shading rule: no two cells in the same row share a shade. Row 3 shows black in column 1, white in column 2, and ___ in column 3?

Accepted Answer

Gray

Answer

With black and white already used in row 3, gray is the only remaining shade that satisfies the no-repeat rule.

Question 4

A matrix's shading decreases one step per row from top to bottom: row 1 is dark, row 2 is medium, and row 3 is ___?

Accepted Answer

Light

Answer

Each row decreases one shade step downward from the previous, making row 3 the lightest shade.

Question 5

Each figure is divided into four quadrants, with the shaded quadrant rotating clockwise one position per column: column 1 shades top-left, column 2 shades top-right, and column 3 shades ___?

Accepted Answer

Bottom-right

Answer

Rotating the shaded quadrant clockwise 90° from top-right gives bottom-right for column 3.
