Formulaic: Uses the number of directions of each
arrow in a frame and a formula to determine how
many colours there are of the arrows
If there are n number of
directions there is n-1
numbers of colours
If there are n number of
directions there is n-2
numbers of arrows
Orientation: The orientation of the arrows and an additional
shape (triangle) is the basis of the rule
There are 5 arrows that point in all directions
except one. The triangle present is facing in the
direction that the arrows did not point towards
There are 4 arrows that point in all directions
except one. The triangle present is facing in the
direction that the arrows did not point towards
Rotation: The arrow is rotated 90 degrees from where
the triangle is pointed. There is always a shape of a
particular colour at the bottom of the frame
The arrow is rotated
90 degrees clockwise
from where the
triangle is pointed.
There is always a
black circle in the
bottom left corner
The arrow is
rotated 90
degrees
anticlockwise
from where the
triangle is
pointed. There is
always a white
circle in the
bottom left
corner
Constant: There is a constant arrow colour(s)
pointing in a particular direction
There is always
1 white arrow
pointing to the
right
There are always
2 black arrows
pointing left
Formulaic: The number of one type of shape is
equal to that of another
The number of
upwards
facings
arrowheads
equals the
number of
shapes
The number of
upwards facing
arrowheads is
equal to 1 less
than the number
of shapes
Formulaic: The number of a
particular type of arrow is
greater than that of another
There are more
black arrows
than grey arrows.
White arrows and
direction are
distractors
There are more
grey arrows than
black arrows.
White arrows and
direction are
distractors
Formulaic: There is a specific number of arrows for a
particular shape(s)
For every triangle,
there are 2 arrows
pointing upwards.
For every circle
there is one arrow
pointing
downwards
For every triangle,
there are 2 arrows
pointing
downwards. For
every circle there is
one arrow poiting
upwards
Constant: There is a certain number of arrows
facing a particular direction. A triangle is always
present
There are 6
arrows with 2 of
them facing left.
There is a
triangle in the
bottom left
corner
There are 6 arrows
with 2 of them
facing right. There
is a triangle in the
bottom right
corner.
Constant: Arrows facing a particular direction,
regardless of what the other arrows do
There are 4 triangles each
containing 3 arrows. The
arrows in the bottom left
triangle all face inwards
There are 4 triangles
each containing 3
arrows. The arrows in
the bottom right
triangle all face
inwards
Formulaic: The number of arrows determines how many
shapes are present
The number of
upwards facing
arrows equals the
number of shapes
The number of
upwards facing arrows
is 1 less than the
number of shapes
Formulaic: The number of arrows pointing a particular
direction affects the number of arrows pointing another
direction
The number of
upwards facing
arrows is equal to
the number of
downwards facing
arrows
The number of
left-facing arrows is
equal to the number of
right-facing arrows
Formulaic: The number of arrows facing a particular
direction affects the number of arrows facing another
direction
The number of arrowheads
facing left equals the number of
arrowheads facing right.
Arrowheads up or down are
distractors
The number of arrowheads
facing upwards equals the
number of arrowheads facing
downwards. Arrowheads facing
left and right are distractors
