Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices 3

Question 1

A matrix shows shapes where every row contains exactly one black, one gray, and one white shape. If a row already has a black circle and a white triangle, what must the third shape be?

Accepted Answer

Gray hexagon

Answer

Gray is the only missing shade; the shape type is unconstrained, but gray hexagon fits the gray requirement.

Question 2

On the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM), the total number of items is:

Accepted Answer

60

Answer

The SPM contains 60 items organized into 5 sets (A–E) of 12 items each.

Question 3

A matrix pattern shows a small dot moving diagonally from the top-left to the bottom-right across three frames. Where is the dot in the fourth frame if the diagonal continues?

Accepted Answer

Outside the frame

Answer

Continuing diagonally past the bottom-right corner places the dot outside the frame's boundary.

Question 4

Which of the following best describes 'fluid intelligence' as measured by Raven's matrices?

Accepted Answer

The ability to reason in novel situations without prior knowledge

Answer

Fluid intelligence is the capacity to solve new problems using logic independent of acquired knowledge.

Question 5

In a matrix, each column shows a shape being progressively 'hollowed out': solid → thick outline → thin outline. What comes in the fourth position if the sequence continues?

Accepted Answer

No shape (blank)

Answer

The sequence moves toward less and less fill until the shape disappears entirely in the fourth step.
