Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Figure Rotation and Reflection 3

Question 1

In a 3×3 Raven's matrix, figures rotate 45° clockwise across each row. If the first figure points north, what direction does the third figure point?

Accepted Answer

East

Answer

Two 45° clockwise rotations (total 90°) rotate a north-pointing figure to point east.

Question 2

Which pair of transformations always produces the same result as a 180° rotation?

Accepted Answer

A horizontal then vertical reflection

Answer

A horizontal reflection followed by a vertical reflection is equivalent to a 180° rotation for any figure.

Question 3

A letter 'R' is reflected across the vertical axis. The result most closely resembles:

Accepted Answer

A backwards R (mirror image)

Answer

Reflecting the letter R across the vertical axis creates a mirror image — a backwards R.

Question 4

In a pattern where each successive figure is rotated 90° counter-clockwise, a figure pointing east at position 1 will point which direction at position 4?

Accepted Answer

East

Answer

Three 90° counter-clockwise rotations (270° total) bring a figure pointing east to the same orientation as one 90° clockwise, and four rotations (360°) return it to east.

Question 5

A square with a dot in the top-right corner is rotated 180°. Where is the dot after rotation?

Accepted Answer

Bottom-left

Answer

A 180° rotation moves the top-right corner to the bottom-left corner position.
