Test for Matrix Reasoning

Matrix puzzles dey test abstract reasoning: to notice di rules wey dey change across rows and columns, then use dem fill di empty space. Raven's Progressive Matrices make dis kind test popular, and because e no need words, dem don use am wit plenty different groups of people for all di world 2. To solve harder puzzles, you need find several rules at once and keep dem for mind 3.

Di puzzles na Sandia matrices, wey researchers for Sandia National Laboratories make. Dem build software wey dey combine di kinds of rules wey dey Raven's test to create new puzzles. For their study, di new puzzles cover and extend di range of difficulty for di original test 1. Na di same set of questions wey dey inside di reasoning test for Helibrain app. Each time you play, e go pick 12 puzzles by chance, so no two times go be di same.

Your score na how many puzzles you solve. Because each time you play, e go pick different mix of easy and hard puzzles, one score na rough picture. We no dey compare you wit other people: dis no be IQ test, and e no give any IQ number. Compare your different times over time.

• Check each row, then each column. Ask wetin dey change: shape, number, position, shading.
• Some puzzles get two or three rules at once. Check say every rule match di piece wey you choose.
• No timer dey, so take your time.
