Which tile completes the pattern?
Matrix reasoning is the classic measure of fluid intelligence — the ability to see the rule in a pattern you have never met before, without words or numbers. This free test uses the progressive format that the psychologist John C. Raven introduced in 1938 with his famous Progressive Matrices, and that has anchored intelligence testing ever since: each puzzle shows a visual arrangement with one piece missing, and the rules "progress" — early items need one observation, later items make you hold two or three rules at once.
Twelve original puzzles cover the first three classic set types: continuing a texture (pattern completion), completing a 2×2 analogy, and finishing a 3×3 progression matrix. It is timed at 8 minutes, and when you finish we score your answers instantly and email you a free report with your level, a set-by-set breakdown and your percentile.
The full Classic 60 — all five set types, including distribution-of-three matrices and figure composition, under the classic 20-minute clock, scored against a classic-style scale — is available as the paid version of this test. Squizly is not affiliated with, and this test is not endorsed by, any psychometric test publisher. Every puzzle here is an original item written in the classic progressive-matrices format.
