Spot the one that breaks the pattern

What to expect
- A row of related figures with one exception.
- Rules that change every item.
- Rapid-fire pacing.
What it measures
- Inductive reasoning
- Pattern recognition
- Cognitive flexibility
Instructions
- 1Check one property at a time: count, then shape, then rotation, then shading.
- 2Once a property explains all but one figure, commit.
- 3Don't look for elegance — the rule is often blunt.
Tips
- Counting elements resolves more items than any other single check.
- If nothing appears after 15 seconds, guess and move on.
