abstract reasoning

Question 1

what rules can appear on 3x3 matrix questions?

Answer 1

• a sort of shape is adjacent to another type of shape

Question 2

what could be asked when shapes are overlapping in the two sets?

Answer 2

• points of intersections

Question 3

black and white shapes spreader out, 4-6 of them

Answer 3

• white shapes are worth 1 and black worth 2, sum of each box is 6
• number of right angles (specific amount for each set
• number of curved sides and straight sides

Question 4

CASINOS

Answer 4

Colour: are there any consistencies with colour?
Arrangement: what is the position of shapes? especially in relation to other shapes
Shape: What shapes are present within the box?
Number: number of shapes, sides, total sides, right angles
Size: does the size of shapes vary within the box, how does it relate to the other shapes

Question 5

1-2 shapes in each box of each set

Answer 5

• number of sides of each shape (could be specific number for each set or odd/even

Question 6

Several small ish arrows pointing to different directions along with shapes of different colours, scartered

Answer 6

• there is an upwards arrow for each flat edge in a shape

Question 7

2-3 shapes in each square, some shapes shaded, heart pointing either up or down.
