Matrix Reasoning Test

Matrix Reasoning Test

A small change in direction, position or shape can complete an entire grid. Try 66 original visual reasoning questions and see which relations you spot first.

Some items ask you to track a rotation; others rely on combining marks, counting, symbol order or direction. Your area breakdown shows which visual clues guided your choices.

Study each visual tile grid and select the option that completes the missing cell. The free result summarizes your choices across six kinds of visual relation.

What your answers explore

Tile rotation

Notice how each tile turns as it moves across a row. Each question uses a visual tile grid with one missing cell.

Combining marks

Compare which marks appear in the first two tiles and how they combine in the third. Each question uses a visual tile grid with one missing cell.

Counting visual elements

Look at how the number of marks changes across each row. Each question uses a visual tile grid with one missing cell.

Cycling symbols

Follow the order of the symbols as they repeat across rows and columns. Each question uses a visual tile grid with one missing cell.

Arrow direction

Follow the change in arrow direction across the grid. Each question uses a visual tile grid with one missing cell.

Overlaying tiles

Notice which marks are retained when two tiles are layered together. Each question uses a visual tile grid with one missing cell.

A closer look at your responses

The optional detailed report connects the separate scores to your selected answers. It gives an interpretation for each area, a complete response review and reflection prompts based on the situations covered here.

Similar scores can come from different answers. Looking at the item-level review can show whether one particular situation shaped your result or whether several experiences pointed in the same direction.

Free test and basic information

You can take all 66 questions and read the basic information for free. An optional premium analysis is available as a one-time purchase. It adds the full area-by-area interpretation, personal answer review, downloadable report and the companion e-book A Practical Guide to Solving Visual Sequences.

How to take the test

Study each visual tile grid and select the option that completes the missing cell. The free result summarizes your choices across six kinds of visual relation.

Compare the visible tiles one feature at a time. Look for a relation that explains every complete row before choosing A, B, C or D for the open cell.

How to read your result

Each area is scored independently from 0 to 100. Scores do not need to add up to 100, and the bands describe the statements in this set rather than a population ranking. The detailed report explains the interpretation matched to each area and keeps your answers available for review.
