TalentLens Raven's Abstract Reasoning 3

Question 1

A matrix rule states that each row's three shapes are always the same type, but the fill changes: white, striped, black (left to right). If the left cell of a row shows a white hexagon, what fill does the rightmost cell have?

Accepted Answer

Black

Answer

The fill pattern is white → striped → black, so the rightmost cell is black.

Question 2

In a series, each figure is rotated 45° clockwise from the previous. If figure 1 is a square balanced on its corner (diamond orientation), what orientation is figure 5?

Accepted Answer

Diamond (corner up)

Answer

Four 45° clockwise turns = 180°, and figure 5 is one more turn (225° total), but since 360°/45° = 8 steps for a full rotation, figure 5 at 4 × 45° = 180° from diamond gives a flat-base square — actually figure 5 is 4 steps beyond figure 1: 45°×4=180° rotation from diamond = normal flat square.

Question 3

Each column of a 3x3 matrix contains exactly one X, one O, and one triangle. The first column has X on top and O in the middle. The second column has triangle on top and X in the middle. What is in the bottom cell of the second column?

Accepted Answer

O

Answer

The second column already has triangle and X, so the remaining symbol O must go in the bottom cell.

Question 4

A pattern shows figures where the number of line segments doubles each step: 1, 2, 4, 8… How many line segments does the 6th figure have?

Accepted Answer

32

Answer

Starting at 1 and doubling: figure 1=1, 2=2, 3=4, 4=8, 5=16, 6=32.

Question 5

In a matrix, each row's three figures contain 2, 4, and 6 dots respectively, but in a scrambled order. The rule is that column totals must each equal 12. The first column sums to 12 with 2+4+6. The second column has 6 on top and 2 in the middle. What value is in the bottom cell of the second column?

Accepted Answer

4

Answer

Column 2 needs to sum to 12; 6 + 2 + ? = 12, so ? = 4.
