CSE - Abstract Reasoning

• In the abstract reasoning sequence, two distinct patterns can be observed: Placing a square or rhomb alternating within or outside the circle and each additional figure changes the location of the square/rhomb by a quarter turn counterclockwise rotation.
• The solution to this abstract reasoning sequence is the 4th one, where the square is positioned at the bottom and outside the circle.
• In this test, the degree of symmetry of the figure placed within the circle decreases step by step.
• The pattern starts with a circle, a line, a triangle and so on, continuing with lower symmetry objects (and thus more side faces).
• The sequence above clearly shows that the position of the star around the cross is the key to solving this sequence.
• As the sequence continues, the location of the star is determined by a quarter turn counterclockwise rotation every next figure.
• The solution to this abstract reasoning sequence will consist of 1 uppermost circle, 5 middle ones and none at the bottom.
• In the abstract reasoning sequence, two distinct patterns can be observed: As a basis the pattern consists at first of a circle, the highest form of symmetry and this degree of symmetry decreases as the sequence increases which results in objects with more side faces.
• Within these objects an arrow is present, which will be rotated counterclockwise by a quarter turn with every next figure in the sequence.
• The solution to this sequence therefore is a hexagon with the inner arrow directed downwards.
• The above sequence should be seen as a series of stacked squares with alternating colors.
• At every next figure in the sequence, the uppermost square is removed, to end up with a black square.
• In this sequence, two distinct patterns can be observed: The persons face is alternately displayed from aside by increasing sequence and the amount of black circles increases with increasing sequence.
• The fourth figure of the sequence shows that only the uppermost and the right smiley should be rotated, resulting in the fourth solution.
• In the abstract reasoning sequence, two distinct patterns can be observed: squares containing circles and vice versa, and curls appearing with increasing sequence, starting at the top and placed clockwise.
• The sequence starts with one black circle and continues with circles consisting of two and four parts respectively.
• The time displayed on the clockworks is of importance to solving the row, with the uppermost left clockwork displaying a time of 9.00h, the second 9.45h, the third 11.15h and the last one 14.15h.
• A closer look at these times reveals that the difference between the first two clockworks is 45 minutes, between the second and third 90 minutes and between the last two 180 minutes.
• Repeating this pattern, results in a difference between the fourth and fifth clockwork of 360 minutes, which should be 20.15, the second solution on the left.
• In this sequence, the amount of leaflets is decreased as the sequence is increased, with the uppermost left leaflet falling off first, then the undermost left leaflet, and then the uppermost right leaflet.
• The answer to the sequence can be obtained by switching the objects displayed in the first figure of the sequence with each other, starting with the two most right objects, then the circle and square, and then the triangles.
• In the abstract reasoning sequence, a vertical line is added in every next figure, and a diagonal line (uppermost left to undermost right) is added at both sides in every following figure.
• The last pattern in this sequence contains the removal of diagonals (uppermost right to undermost left), starting in the centre and working its way up via the left diagonal to the removal of the right one.
• The solution to this sequence is a person looking to the right with 5 black circles in the figure.
• When modeling the next rectangle, the first line of this second rectangle will be placed on top of the first line of the first rectangle.
• In a 3d view, this would result in depth in the figure.
• Since this is a 2d view of the rectangle, it seems after modeling the first rectangle nothing is changed anymore.
• The correct answer for this 2d view is the first one, which only shows a rectangle.
• A decrease in the amount of central squares with increasing sequence is the pattern in the sequence displayed above.
• The decrease in the amount of central squares is not steady; the first decrease consists of 1 central square, the second of 2 and the third again of 1, so the pattern is repeating itself with a decrease in the amount of central squares.
• The solution to this abstract reasoning sequence will be a blank space.
• The number of circles decreases with increasing sequence in the picture displayed above.
• The decrease in the number of circles starts right at the top, moves to the left top and then continues at the right and left bottom respectively.
• This pattern of decreasing circles is repeated over and over again until no circles are left.
• The correct answer in this case is the third image.
• The object in the figure above is rotated counterclockwise with increasing sequence, to create new images as the sequence continues.
• The solution to this sequence is a vertical object, with in this case the black side to the left as a result of the rotation.
• In the abstract reasoning sequence displayed above, three distinct patterns can be observed: a basic object containing a secondary object, the degree of symmetry of the basic object decreases, and the pattern is repeated.
• The first pattern in the sequence consists of the same basic as secondary object, the second pattern however, consists of the secondary object of its right neighbor image.
• The solution to the sequence consists of a black triangle as basic object and a white circle as secondary object.
