Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Continuous Pattern Progression 2

Question 1

In a continuous pattern matrix, each row shows a shape growing by one side per cell (triangle→square→pentagon). The bottom-right cell is missing. What completes the third row if it starts with a triangle?

Accepted Answer

Pentagon

Answer

The third row starts with a triangle (3 sides), so following the +1 side rule gives square then pentagon.

Question 2

A 3×3 matrix has dots arranged in an L-shape, and each cell adds one dot to the L's horizontal arm going left to right. The first row has 1, 2, 3 dots in the arm. The second row starts with 4. What number of dots appears in the third cell of the second row?

Accepted Answer

6

Answer

The horizontal arm increases by 1 each cell, so row 2 cells are 4, 5, 6.

Question 3

In a continuous shading pattern, each row shifts a shaded quarter-circle clockwise by 90°. Row 1 starts at the top-left. Row 3 starts at the bottom-left. Where is the shading in the missing third cell of row 3?

Accepted Answer

Top-left

Answer

Starting bottom-left and rotating 90° clockwise twice lands back at top-left for the third cell.

Question 4

A matrix shows a horizontal line that moves down one unit per column across all rows. In column 1 the line is at the top; in column 3 it is near the bottom. What happens to the line in the missing cell at column 3, row 3?

Accepted Answer

It is near the bottom

Answer

The column-3 rule places the line near the bottom regardless of row, because position is determined by column.

Question 5

Each cell in a matrix contains overlapping circles whose diameter increases by 1 unit left to right and whose shading alternates white-grey-white across columns. The missing cell is in column 2. What is its appearance?

Accepted Answer

Medium grey circle

Answer

Column 2 has medium diameter and the grey shading due to the alternating white-grey-white rule.
