Figure Analogy

Find analogous figure relationships

Figure Analogy questions present a pair of figures with a specific visual relationship, and you must find the same relationship in another pair.

What is Figure Analogy?

Like word analogies but with figures. Figure A is related to Figure B through a specific transformation (rotation, reflection, element change). You must apply the same transformation to Figure C to find Figure D.

Why is it Important?

Figure Analogy tests spatial reasoning and transformation skills, crucial for pattern-based intelligence assessments.

Key Techniques

Identify the transformation from Figure A to B
Look for rotation, reflection, scaling, or element changes
Apply the EXACT same transformation to Figure C
Verify by checking that A→B and C→D follow identical rules

Common Patterns

•Rotation analogies

•Reflection (mirror) analogies

•Addition/removal of elements

•Shading inversion

•Complex multi-transformation analogies

💡 Pro Tips

1.Verbalize the transformation: "A is rotated 90° clockwise to get B"

2.Check all elements — the transformation might apply differently to different parts

3.Eliminate options that don't match the primary transformation

Frequently Asked Questions

How many transformations typically occur in a Figure Analogy?

Usually 1-2 transformations (e.g., rotation + shading change). Advanced questions might have 3, but each transformation is individually simple.
