Introduction
Raven's Progressive Matrices™
Practice Test 2
Raven's Progressive Matrices™ (often referred to simply as

Raven's Matrices) or RPM is a nonverbal test typically used
to measure general human intelligence and abstract
reasoning, and is considered a nonverbal assessment of
fluid intelli-gence. It is one of the most common tests
used with both groups and individuals, from 5-year-olds to
the elderly. This format is intended to measure the test
taker's reasoning ability, the eductive ("sense-making")
component of Spear-man's g (g is often referred to as
general intelligence). The tests were originally developed
by John C. Raven in 1936. In each test item, the subject is
asked to identify the missing element to complete a
pattern. Many patterns are presented in the form of a 3×3
or 2×2 matrix, hence the name of the test. The test taker
is given eight choices from which to select and complete
the missing element.
About this book
This practice book consists of 100 multiple-choice

questions. Your task is to select the correct answer from a
collection of eight options to complete the general pattern
in the matrix. You could use pen and paper to note the
given answers. The correct answers along with logic to
calculate your IQ score are at the end of the book.
Each question includes a detailed explanation to help

you understand the rule it is based on.
