Nonverbal Figure Matrices Flashcards

A matrix shows a shape and its color swapping between two shapes across the row. If the bottom-left is a black circle and white square pair, what completes a swap?

Answer: A white circle and black square

Swapping the colors flips the circle to white and the square to black.

Each row removes the outermost shape from a set of nested shapes. The bottom row shows a circle inside a square inside a triangle, then a blank. What remains?

Answer: A circle inside a square

Removing the outer triangle leaves the circle inside the square.

A matrix shows a line growing by one segment each step, bending at a right angle. After two bends, how many segments does the missing figure have?

Answer: Three segments

Each step adds a segment, so two bends produce three segments.

In a matrix, a shape alternates between filled and empty across the row. If the first is filled and the second is empty, what is the third?

Answer: Filled

The alternating pattern returns to filled in the third cell.

A matrix shows a figure reflected across a diagonal line each step. If the bottom-left has a dot in the top-left corner, where is the dot after reflection?

Answer: Bottom-right corner

A diagonal reflection moves a top-left dot to the bottom-right.

Each column doubles the size of the shape going down. If the top shape is a tiny square and the middle is a medium square, what is the bottom?

Answer: A large square

Doubling the medium square's size makes a large square.

A matrix shows shapes that each lose their inner detail across the row. If the bottom-left is a circle with stripes, what is the plain missing figure?

Answer: An empty circle

Removing the inner detail leaves a plain empty circle.
