These 10 free Matrigma questions are organized by exam domain, so you can see how each part of the Matrigma blueprint is tested. Reveal the answer and explanation under each question.
In a 3x3 matrix each cell contains a number of identical dots. The top row contains 1, 3 and 6 dots. The middle row contains 2, 4 and 7 dots. The bottom row contains 3, 5 and an unknown number. How many dots belong in the final cell?
Correct answer: D - 8 dots
In each row of a matrix, the third cell is formed by overlaying the first two cells, with any line appearing in both cells shown only once. The bottom row begins with a cell containing a vertical line and a diagonal line, followed by a cell containing a vertical line and a horizontal line. What should the third cell contain?
Correct answer: C - A vertical line, a diagonal line and a horizontal line
A 3x3 matrix contains one shape in each cell. The top row reads: circle, triangle, square. The middle row reads: square, circle, triangle. The bottom row reads: triangle, square, and the final cell is missing. Which shape belongs in the missing cell?
Correct answer: C - Circle
A candidate is invited to sit Adaptive Matrigma. They plan to spend three or four minutes on any item they find difficult, and to move quickly through the easy ones to make up the time. What is wrong with this plan?
Correct answer: A - Each item carries its own 60-second limit, after which the test moves on
Unable to identify the governing rule, a candidate selects the option that is an exact copy of the cell immediately above the blank. On progressive matrix tests this is the most frequent single error candidates make. Which error class does it represent?
Correct answer: B - Repetition - the option reproduces a cell adjacent to the blank
A candidate's Matrigma result is reported as a C-score of 6. What does this indicate?
Correct answer: D - The candidate scored slightly above average, within the Average band
In every row and every column of a 3x3 matrix, a small black dot appears in exactly two of the three cells. In the bottom row the dot is present in the first cell and absent from the second. In the right-hand column the dot is present in the top cell and absent from the middle cell. What must the missing bottom-right cell contain?
Correct answer: B - The dot must be present, since the row and the column each still need one
In a particular matrix, the third cell of each row keeps only those elements that appear in BOTH of the first two cells. Which logical operation governs this matrix?
Correct answer: C - Intersection (AND) - only elements common to both cells are kept
Across each row of a matrix, a figure shaped like the letter F is reflected across a vertical axis. A candidate instead applies a 180-degree rotation. What distinguishes the two results?
Correct answer: A - The reflection reverses it left to right; the rotation also inverts it
A candidate correctly identifies the governing rule and correctly predicts the missing cell, but then selects an option showing the right shape at the wrong size. Which error class is this?
Correct answer: C - Incomplete Correlate - the reasoning was sound but unverified
