Which option shows the SAME shape as the one above, just rotated (not flipped)?

About this test

Spatial reasoning tests measure how well you picture and manipulate shapes in your mind — rotating them, folding flat nets into cubes, fitting pieces together and imagining how a 3D object looks from another angle. It's a strong predictor of success in engineering, architecture, design, aviation, the trades and many technical roles, so employers and selection boards use it widely.

This free test mirrors that format: 24 timed visual puzzles across four areas. There's no reading or arithmetic — just your mind's eye. We score every section and email you a breakdown with your percentile, so you can see where your spatial ability is strongest and where practice will help most.

Frequently asked questions

What is a spatial reasoning test?
It assesses your ability to mentally manipulate two- and three-dimensional shapes — rotating figures, folding nets into solids, assembling pieces and visualising objects from different viewpoints. It's a non-verbal measure of how well you reason about space and form.
Who uses spatial reasoning tests?
They're common in selection for engineering, architecture and design, aviation and the military, dentistry and surgery, and skilled trades and apprenticeships — any role where picturing how things fit and move matters.
What's the difference between spatial and abstract reasoning?
Abstract reasoning is about spotting rules in flat patterns of shapes; spatial reasoning is specifically about manipulating shapes in space — rotating, folding and viewing them in 2D and 3D. They overlap but test different mental skills.
How is the test scored?
You get one mark per correct answer across the four sections — Mental Rotation, Cube & Net Folding, Shape Assembly, and Perspective & Views. We email a section-by-section breakdown and your percentile so you can see how you compare and where to focus.
How can I improve my spatial reasoning?
Practise rotating shapes in your head before checking, work through cube-net folding step by step, and sketch objects from different viewpoints. Regular practice with rotation and folding puzzles builds the mental imagery the test rewards.
