Nonverbal Intelligence Test

nonverbal intelligence test (Part-01)

Description:

In this test (nonverbal intelligence test), the patterns are arranged in three rows. The first two rows contain three figures each, and the third row contains only two figures and one is required to select the requisite pattern out of the given choices numbered 1, 2, 3, 4 etc. In the fourth row which when placed in the blank space in the third row will complete the series.

A careful observation (nonverbal intelligence test) will show that there is a certain relationship between the three figures of the first row. The same relationship exists between the figures of the second row and the third row. But the third figure in the third row is missing. However, it is placed among the numbered figures in the last or fourth row. You have to select such a figure out of the fourth row which when placed in the blank space in the third row should establish the same relationship.

The Relationship:

A very careful observation will help the candidate to discern the relationship between the figures in each row. The following of the commonly occurring relationships.

(a) Combination or Superimposition: The third figure is sometimes obtained by combination of the first and the second figure or the superimposition of the second figure over the first. In some cases the third is obtained by superimposing the the second over the first and taking either the portions common to the first two figures or leaving the common portions and taking the remaining portions.

(b) Movement of portion of Figures: Portions of figures may move in a particular pattern or in clockwise or anti-clockwise direction. In addition to these, there may be others which can be tackled with practice.

Example:

Solution:

Each cross outside counts plus one, each cross inside minus one; in the bottom row +3 – 1 = 2. Consequently there should be two crosses outside in the answer. Therefore the answer is No.2.
