4. Matrix Reasoning
Item Verbal instructions
Sample Look at this picture. You will choose which one of these [👉] goes here [👉]. The right answer will work going across [👉] and
A going down [👉]. You should only look across and down to find the answer. Do not look diagonally [👉]. Which one here [👉]
goes here [👉]?
That’s right. When you go across the top row [👉], the blue star changes to a yellow circle. This means that when
you go across the bottom row [👉], the blue star should change to a yellow circle too.
When you go down the first column [👉], the boxes have the same shape in the same colour – blue stars. This
means that when you go down the second column [👉], the boxes should also have the same shape in the same colour –
yellow circles.
You get the same answer [👉] going across [👉] and going down [👉]. [Sample B].
Let’s look again. To get the right answer going across, look at the boxes in the top row [👉]. When you go across the
top row [👉], the blue star changes to a yellow circle. This means that when you go across the bottom row [👉], the blue star
should change to a yellow circle too.
To get the right answer going down, look at the boxes in this column [👉]. When you go down the first column [👉],
the boxes have the same shape in the same colour – blue stars. This means that when you go down the second column
[👉], the boxes should also have the same shape in the same colour – yellow circles.
You get the same answer [👉] going across and going down [👉]. [Sample B].
Sample This is another kind of problem. The boxes are in order going across [👉]. The right answer will follow the order you see
B across the other boxes. Which one here goes here [👉]?
That’s right. When you look across the boxes, you see that they go in this order: [👉] large circle, small circle, large
circle, small circle, large circle. The small circle [👉] goes here [👉] because it would go next. [Items].
Let’s look again. When you look across the boxes, you see that they go in this order: [👉] large circle, small circle,
large circle, small circle, large circle. The small circle [👉] goes here [👉] because it would go next. A small circle comes
after a large circle as you go in order across the boxes. [Items].
