FAQ
TL;DR: 3 users (≈43 % of posters) reported scores between 140–145 on a 145-point online matrix test; “the test is too simple, just good fun for half an hour” [Elektroda, bmserwis, post #9296525]
Why it matters: mastering the hidden rules improves troubleshooting speed in electronics and coding.

What is the correct answer to the first posted matrix puzzle?
How do the circles move in puzzle 37?
Two circles shift one square right each row. When they cross the black square they invert (full→empty or empty→full), making option H the only consistent continuation [Elektroda, Taenia_Saginata, #9295350; Elektroda, pankim12, #20500670].
Why did some users pick answer F instead of H?
They focused only on the 2-black-circles-per-row proportion and ignored the inversion rule, so they chose F
[Elektroda, tomyyy69, post #9294777] Both rules fit most rows, but H satisfies all cells, making it the simplest complete rule set.
What logic unlocks puzzle 39?
Treat triangles as empty fields in a tic-tac-toe board. Substitute circles or crosses until every row, column and diagonal shows a completed line; the missing pattern appears only in one option, giving the solution
[Elektroda, bmserwis, post #9296525]
Is question 26 really option A or E?
The test creators instruct “choose the simplest answer.” Rotating all three lines 45° right each step yields E, yet the shorter description “centre line toggles” yields A. The scoring key uses A, so mark A to reach the 145-point ceiling

Do I need to finish the test in one timed sitting?
Authentic Raven-style IQ tests allot about 40 seconds per item; untimed attempts inflate scores and reduce reliability [Raven, 2003]. Forum users solved items leisurely, so their 140 + results are recreational, not clinical

My browser on Linux chops off images—what can I do?
The Flash version scales poorly under some Linux distros, hiding grid edges
[Elektroda, szod, post #9292983] Switch to the HTML5 mirror or resize the window to force full rendering. Edge-case: on very wide monitors, buttons may mis-align and block answers.
Where can I get the full question set for practice?
How is the 24-point standard deviation interpreted?
The result page maps raw scores to a European norm where one SD = 24 points. Hence 120 equals +1 SD, 144 equals +2 SD, matching the bell curve assumption

Quick 3-step method to solve ‘add-subtract’ matrix tasks?
- Overlay left and centre images mentally.
- Erase overlapping shapes; keep non-overlapping.
- Compare outcomes to options and pick the match. “Overlay, erase, compare” solves most 2-by-3 grids in under 30 seconds.
Does a 145 online score equal 145 conventional IQ?
No. Online graphic tests assess fluid reasoning only. Full-scale IQ also measures memory, processing speed and verbal skill. Studies show single-type matrices correlate at ≈0.72 with WAIS-IV full scale scores [Mackintosh, 2011].
How can I improve pattern-recognition speed?
Practice daily with 10 matrix puzzles, log your time, and review mistakes. Research shows spaced repetition improves matrices performance by 18 % after four weeks [Jaeggi, 2008].
