Raven's Progressive Matrices Test Raven's Progressive Matrices Mixed 2

Question 1

In a 3×3 matrix, the number of sides on each shape increases by 1 across each row (triangle=3, square=4, pentagon=5). The shading rotates: row 1 is solid, row 2 is striped, row 3 is empty. What belongs in the bottom-right cell?

Accepted Answer

An empty pentagon

Answer

Row 3 is empty shading, and the rightmost column uses pentagons (5 sides), so the answer is an empty pentagon.

Question 2

Each row of a matrix contains a large shape, a medium shape, and a small shape of the same type. The columns contain circles, squares, and triangles respectively. The bottom-right cell should be:

Accepted Answer

A small triangle

Answer

Column 3 contains triangles, and the bottom row always has the small version of the shape.

Question 3

A 3×3 matrix shows arrows pointing in different directions. Row 1: up, right, down. Row 2: right, down, left. Row 3: down, left, ?

Accepted Answer

Up

Answer

Each row rotates the arrow 90° clockwise; row 3 starts at down, so the final arrow points up after two more rotations.

Question 4

In Raven's Progressive Matrices, what cognitive ability is primarily measured?

Accepted Answer

Fluid intelligence (Gf)

Answer

RPM measures fluid intelligence — the ability to reason and solve novel problems without relying on prior knowledge.

Question 5

A matrix has shapes that gain one internal dot per column (col 1: 0 dots, col 2: 1 dot, col 3: 2 dots) and rotate 45° per row. The missing piece is in row 3, column 3. Which rule combination applies?

Accepted Answer

2 dots, rotated 90° clockwise from row 1

Answer

Column 3 always has 2 dots, and row 3 has rotated 90° (45°×2 steps) clockwise from the row 1 orientation.
