Test 2
Sequences

You are given a string of shapes. You have to work out which two shapes are
missing from the string. The missing shapes have been replaced with a 1
and a 2. Choose the correct answers from the possible answers provided on
the page. Write in the correct letter which goes with the missing shape.
There is space to write in your answers on the right of the page.
Possible answers:

A B C D E F G

Example 1

2 2=D

Example 2
Answers

1 1 =A
2 2 =F
16 Abstract visual tests

In Example 1, there is a sequence of alternate squares and circles. The fourth

in the sequence is a missing circle, so F is correct from the possible answers.
Number 13 in the sequence, where a 2 has been placed, should have a
square, so the correct answer is D.
In Example 2, the sequence is triangle, circle, square. A small, white circle
would go where the 1 has been placed, so the correct answer is A. In the
sequence, the circles are alternately small and large. A large circle would go
where the 2 has been placed, so the correct answer is F.
The real test is done in just this way. Find the correct answer from those
given on each page and write the letter in the space provided for answers.
Both parts must be correct to score.
Do not mark this book if it is not your own, but record your answers and
any working out you need to do on separate paper. If you wish to get an
accurate idea of your aptitude, record the number of the question you are
on after exactly 15 minutes. Otherwise, take as long as you wish to
complete the items.
