How it works:
- A 3×3 grid displays 8 shapes with the bottom-right cell missing
- Identify the logical rules that apply across rows or columns
- Choose from 8 options to complete the grid
- Rules may involve shape, color, size, or count attributes
Rule types (common in aptitude tests):
- Constant: Same value across each row (e.g., Row 1 all red, Row 2 all blue)
- Progression: Value changes left-to-right (e.g., small → medium → large)
- Arithmetic: First + Second = Third (e.g., 1 + 2 = 3 shapes)
- Distribution: Each value appears once per row AND once per column
Tips for employment assessments:
- Look at Row 3 first - what's missing to complete the rule?
- Check Column 3 too - the answer must satisfy both constraints
- Multiple rules may apply simultaneously on harder questions
