A Matrix Reasoning panel contains a shape with an arrow pointing up, then right, then down. The next arrow should point:
Answer: Left, completing the clockwise rotation
The arrows rotate clockwise, so after down comes left.
Why might an examinee score higher on Visual Spatial than Fluid Reasoning?
Answer: Stronger spatial construction than abstract pattern detection
Differing index scores reflect real strengths, such as spatial skill exceeding abstract reasoning.
In Figure Weights, three dots balance one bar and two bars balance one block. How many dots balance one block?
Answer: Six
One block equals two bars, and each bar equals three dots, giving six dots.
A Block Design pattern is a full 3x3 grid. The examinee has nine blocks. What is the most efficient approach?
Answer: Match each block face row by row against the model
Systematically matching each block to its position yields accuracy and speed.
In the sequence 3, 5, 8, 12, 17, what is the next number?
Answer: 23
The gaps increase by one each time (2,3,4,5,6), so 17 plus 6 equals 23.
A Visual Puzzles distractor piece looks like part of the target but is mirrored. Why is it incorrect?
Answer: A mirrored piece will not fit the required orientation
Correct assembly requires exact orientation, so a flipped piece cannot complete the shape.
What does a low Fluid Reasoning index score most likely indicate?
Answer: Difficulty identifying rules and relationships in novel problems
Fluid Reasoning reflects detecting patterns and relationships in unfamiliar tasks.
