What is the pattern here?

I guess it's the same reason I remained a virgin until 25

Its most likely top middle.

First three row is the basic shape template.
Second three row is basically top three row moved left left by 1 and then split in center and flipped horizontally in center.
Third three row is applying 180 degree rotation to each, but left->right->left->right model, this gets us the top middle. It could be left-right-up-down etc but neither up/down section are listed.

Top right. This is a tricky one, since the problem tries to confuse you with the top row. The top row could be subtracted entirely and there would be no difference, since all the information is in the bottom two rows. From middle row to bottom row, the right side of the figure is flipped along its x axis, then y axis.

>second row
I meant right. Or top row moved left. Either way, I think people should be able to get what I mean.

Or as said, top row could be discarded entirely from the problem as its more of a distraction.

link to test please, i know the answer to this question i want to try

Three instances of each of the starting shapes.
The first instance is the shape by its itself (the triangle, circle, the u shaped square thing)
The second instance is the starting shape split in half, then each half is mirrored (upside down t, )( thing and sideways K)
Third instance is the starting shape cut in half, then the right half is rotated 180 degrees (CC, Weird triangle thing in the bottom middle, and the top right answer)

>right side is rotated

The left is rotated tho. The right stayed same as above.

Also

on the bottom you flip the left circle, and turn it upside down, you flip the right of the triangle and turn it upside down, so i guess you flip the left L and turn it upside down. I'm gonna go with top middle.

There is no pattern. Only a brainlet would think there is.
They measure the time you take on this specific problem. You should either select none, or immediately select a random one and continue.

>t. brainlet

column 1 going down: perpendicular, perpendicular, parallel
column 2 going down: closed shape, closed shape, open shape
column 3 going down. V opening upwards, Box opening upwards....the missing link should be a box opening downwards so I'm gonna go with bottom left shape as the answer

the bottom row defies the rules of the upper rows using the lines of the middle row

I posted all the answers to that test a while back. Go dig them up in the archives then brag about your 145+ IQ.

Do these go by column or row or both?

Oh I get it.
I thought they were just column/row which made it incomprehensible

top middle
>3rd row, 1st column
rotates left half of (2nd row, 1st column) 180 degrees clockwise
>3rd row, 2nd column
rotates right half of (2nd row, 2nd column) 180 degrees counterclockwise
>3rd row, 3rd column
should rotate left half of (2nd row, 3rd column) 180 degrees clockwise

someone prove me wrong, very curious
anyone have the answer key?

there are 3 families of shapes in sequence. you start with two "halves" facing each other. then, the left half is reflected across the y-axis, and the right half is flipped along the x-axis. Then, from the resulting figure, do a rotation of the right half along the y-axis, then again along the x-axis.

The right answer is the third option, the one in the top right corner.

Why would middle one be different?
I view it as just being transformations on the three base shapes, the circle, triangle, and open box.
One transformation is flipping both sides, the other is flipping right side twice.

Note the triangular tiles. Carefully watch them.

Do you study math?

I majored in math and physics so yeah
why

>bottom left
T H I C C

>rotation
>flipped along axis
>reflected across axis

It's just indication your education can affect how (well) you do these tests. But of course, it could be just a coincidence.

When I actually did that test (it was posted a day or two ago) I was actually visualizing twisting the different halves with my hands, I wasn't thinking about reflections about an axis too much. but you need to phrase things in a way that you can understand. But some education in math will obviously help you with Raven's matrices. I'm sure you can train for IQ tests to some extent.

>throw a matrix of unlabelled squiggles
>this is supposed to measure intelligence somehow

There isn't even a question here. How would you even verify a "correct" answer? Only a fool would think this is a measure of brainpower.

bottom left, without a doubt

So whats correct answer?

top right

Are you suppoed to be more liberal in how to interpret patterns?

I remember having heard that the pattern is supposed to be applicable in all directions (or at least side-side and top-down)

Or rather, that the reasoning would still make sense if you transposed it and used the new cells with your old reasoning

I have seen ones that rather than mutate the above/previous cell, they combine/subtract/mutually exclude lines from the first and second in the third

and ones where the second square is some transformation applied to the first

so I guess ones that only work in a certain direction (say downwards and not leftwards) is fair too

Not sure, last time I took one, might have been OP's website, the early/easy questions would do column or row patterns or like you describe subtract the second entry from the first entry to make third entry. I assume that all the questions would be by row or column which made the ones like OP's very confusing.
Look at it as a whole it actually makes sense.

even some of the more complex later ones seemed to work in both directions but it has been a while

top right or bottom right

Why would it be bottom right? Doesn't match triangle.

Wrong, if you flip the right part of the left-widdle tile, you don't get the left-bottom tile but a mirrored version of it.

He color coded it wrong.

...

This doesn't make sense. Row 3 column 1 is right side flipped along a vertical axis, with the left side either still or flipped along a horizontal axis. Row 3 column 2 is right side flipped along a horizontal axis and left side flipped along a vertical axis; the actions taking the first row to the third row seems inconsistent to me. Can anyone explain?

I know, just flip the arrows/colors, ( ) --> ( ( --> ) (
That was left in there intentionally so someone would "catch it" and reply to my post. I'm surprised this thread is sill active. Its seems like most people know the answer (top right aka 3rd answer)

Well congratulations, you got your error "caught". What is the next step in your masterplan?

It's top right. I would say the following: At first, you've the circle, the triangle and the square with the topline missing. The second step takes the right half and flips it 180 degrees. The third step takes the left half, flips it 180 degrees and mirrors the entire shape vertically.

My next step is to chuckle at them for not noticing that the example(smiley face) is essentially a circle(the shape with the 'error').

I'd go with E (down middle one)

top right
180 rotation righthalf of the cup
