Question 1

The Coloured Progressive Matrices (CPM) is designed for which populations?

Accepted Answer

Young children and elderly adults

Answer

The CPM uses color and simpler patterns to assess younger children and older adults.

Question 2

A matrix shows a pattern where a shape is added to each cell moving right: 1 shape → 2 shapes → 3 shapes. The bottom row starts with 2 shapes and 3 shapes. What is the missing cell?

Accepted Answer

4 shapes

Answer

Each row adds one shape per step, so 2 → 3 → 4 shapes.

Question 3

A matrix item shows three frames where an inner shape grows larger each step while the outer shape stays fixed. This tests which type of visual reasoning?

Accepted Answer

Size progression and relative scaling

Answer

Tracking how one element changes in size relative to a fixed element tests size progression reasoning.

Question 4

If a test-taker consistently chooses answer options that repeat a shape already visible in the matrix rather than identifying the correct transformation, this reflects which error type?

Accepted Answer

Repetition error

Answer

Selecting a repeated element rather than applying the rule is called a repetition error in RPM error analysis.

Question 5

A matrix's columns each contain a unique geometric shape (circle, square, triangle), and its rows each contain a unique size (small, medium, large). The center cell is missing. What belongs there?

Accepted Answer

Medium square

Answer

The center row requires medium size and the center column requires a square, giving a medium square.
