Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices IQ 2

Question 1

In a 3×3 matrix, each row contains shapes that rotate 90° clockwise. The top-left has a triangle pointing up, top-middle has a triangle pointing right. What should appear in the top-right cell?

Accepted Answer

Triangle pointing down

Answer

Each shape rotates 90° clockwise, so after pointing right, the next rotation yields a downward-pointing triangle.

Question 2

A matrix has circles in the first column, squares in the second, and triangles in the third. Each row's shapes increase in size from left to right. The bottom-right cell is missing. What belongs there?

Accepted Answer

Large triangle

Answer

The third column always contains triangles, and the bottom row always has the largest size, so a large triangle completes the pattern.

Question 3

In Raven's Matrices, a 'series completion' item asks you to find what comes next in a visual sequence. What cognitive ability does this primarily measure?

Accepted Answer

Abstract reasoning

Answer

Series completion in Raven's Matrices measures abstract reasoning—the ability to detect rules in non-verbal, non-symbolic patterns.

Question 4

A 3×3 grid has 1 dot in the top-left, 2 dots in the top-middle, 3 dots in the top-right, 4 dots in the middle-left, and 5 dots in the middle-middle. How many dots are in the middle-right?

Accepted Answer

6

Answer

The dots increase by 1 reading left-to-right, top-to-bottom, so the middle-right cell contains 6 dots.

Question 5

Each row of a matrix contains the same three shapes, but their fill changes: row 1 is all white, row 2 is all gray, row 3 is all black. One cell is missing from row 3. What is its fill?

Accepted Answer

Black

Answer

Row 3 follows the rule that all shapes are black, so the missing cell must also be black.
