Spatial Reasoning Test
Find the candidate shape that matches the target rotated. Measures mental rotation accuracy across 20 trials.
You'll see a target shape and four candidates. One candidate is the target rotated; the others are different shapes. Pick the match. Each trial has a 6-second time limit.

How It Works
- Click Start. A target shape appears at the top, and four candidate shapes appear below.
- Find the rotated match. Exactly one candidate is the target rotated. The others are different shapes. Click the match.
- Timing matters. Each trial has a 6-second limit. Timeouts count as incorrect.
- Score = accuracy across 20 trials. Elite cleared the test at 95%+; most people land in the 70–85% range. Chance is 25% (4 candidates).

These are real attempts in a browser — every device, every connection, first tries included. Published research figures are usually collected on dedicated hardware with practiced participants under controlled conditions, so they typically run higher than what this table shows. Both are useful, and they answer different questions: a score can sit well behind the research figure and still be mid-pack among people actually taking the test here.
