Learn patterns
You'll see a sequence of shapes or colors. Identify the pattern and select what comes next. Look for repetitions, alternations, or growth patterns!
Identify patterns in sequences to boost IQ test and aptitude exam scores.
"What is pattern recognition?"
→ Pattern recognition is the ability to identify trends and relationships in data. It's a key skill tested in IQ and aptitude exams.
Pattern Recognition is an abstract reasoning game designed to boost your fluid intelligence - the ability to think logically and solve novel problems independent of previously learned knowledge. This skill is tested directly in IQ assessments and forms a core component of aptitude tests worldwide.
Whether you're preparing for Mensa qualification, competitive exam non-verbal reasoning sections, or simply want to enhance your cognitive abilities, Pattern Recognition provides systematic training in the type of abstract thinking that distinguishes top performers.
The game presents sequences of visual elements (shapes, symbols, figures) that follow specific transformation rules. Your task is to identify the pattern and predict what comes next.
Pattern types include: • Rotation: Elements rotate by fixed degrees • Reflection: Elements mirror across axes • Size Changes: Elements grow or shrink systematically • Color/Shading: Patterns in fill or color changes • Element Addition/Removal: Items appear or disappear following rules • Position Shifts: Elements move in predictable ways • Compound Patterns: Multiple rules apply together
Difficulty scales from single-rule patterns to complex multi-layer transformations.
Study the given pattern sequence carefully, noting shape, size, color, orientation, and position changes.
Determine what rule governs the transformation from one element to the next.
Use the identified rule to predict what comes next in the sequence.
Check your prediction against the given options and select the best match.
Pattern Recognition directly develops fluid intelligence components:
Abstract Reasoning: Thinking about relationships and concepts without concrete examples.
Visual Processing: Rapid analysis of spatial relationships and transformations.
Rule Induction: Deriving general rules from specific examples - a fundamental scientific thinking skill.
Hypothesis Testing: Forming and evaluating predictions about pattern continuation.
Cognitive Flexibility: Switching between different pattern interpretation strategies.
Processing Speed: Quickly analyzing visual information under time pressure.
Pattern Recognition skills directly apply to major tests:
IQ Tests/Mensa: Pattern recognition IS the test - Raven's Matrices are pure pattern completion.
CAT/GRE Non-Verbal: Abstract reasoning sections directly test these skills.
JEE/NEET: Data interpretation and logical reasoning require pattern identification.
Campus Placements: Many companies use abstract reasoning tests to assess analytical potential.
UPSC/Civil Services: Non-verbal reasoning appears in preliminary examinations.
Pattern Recognition benefits anyone seeking enhanced analytical abilities:
• IQ Test Takers: Direct preparation for Raven's Matrices and similar assessments • Competitive Exam Aspirants: CAT, GRE, GMAT non-verbal sections • Students: Abstract reasoning development for STEM subjects • Professionals: Enhanced problem-solving and analytical thinking • Children (10+): Foundational abstract thinking development
Pattern recognition training is supported by substantial cognitive research:
Fluid Intelligence Training: Studies show that systematic practice can improve performance on fluid intelligence measures.
Transfer Effects: Pattern recognition skills transfer to novel problems, unlike crystallized knowledge which is context-specific.
Neural Efficiency: Training leads to more efficient brain activation patterns during reasoning tasks.
Age Independence: Unlike some cognitive skills, pattern recognition can be improved at any age.
Look for the simplest explanation first - complex patterns often hide simple rules
Check each property separately: shape, size, color, orientation, position
When stuck, compare adjacent elements to isolate changes
Practice with time limits to build speed without sacrificing accuracy
Review incorrect answers to understand missed patterns
For complex patterns, write down the rule before choosing an answer
