FIVE WAYS TO THINK
Different tasks. More ways to reason.
Each set combines 12 matrix questions with 18 spatial, logical, numerical and visual-completion tasks. The format changes as you move from introductory patterns to rules with several steps.
Spatial transformations
Rotate and reflect shapes, unfold punched paper and assemble pieces.
Rules & operations
Follow conditional rules and combine set operations in sequence.
Numerical reasoning
Solve alternating sequences, symbol equations and numerical relationships.
Visual completion
Match the missing piece using contours and line continuity.
120 questions across 4 different sets, with the same five-category mix. Each set includes matrix patterns, shape transformations, paper folding, piece assembly, numerical relationships and multi-step logic.

Five reasoning areas
What skills do these tasks explore?
Five areas, different reasoning demands. These descriptions explain the aims of the tasks; the report shows your accuracy in each area on this test.
Patterns & relationships
Aims to assess how you discover relationships between shapes, quantities and positions, then combine rules to infer a missing element. The focus is finding a rule that works across the whole pattern.
Spatial transformations
Aims to assess how you imagine changes in orientation and how parts fit together. Tasks such as rotation, reflection, unfolding paper and assembling pieces draw on this ability to mentally transform shapes.
Rules & operations
Aims to assess how you infer a rule, apply conditions consistently and carry out operations in the right order. The focus is combining information, distinguishing shared and different features, and checking the resulting conclusion.
Numerical reasoning
Aims to assess how you uncover relationships between numbers and quantities to find an unknown value. Tasks such as alternating sequences and symbol equations require you to choose and combine arithmetic rules.
Visual completion
Aims to assess how you reconstruct a whole from incomplete visual information. You use the continuity of edges, lines and shapes to distinguish the missing piece from similar alternatives.
