The answer is C
The blue triangle is rotating clockwise..
This type of question is frequently asked in the early part of the Mensa test, problems 1-10. [...]
When I took the Mensa test, I tried various types of solving methods to solve these types of problems a little faster. (Such as seeing the order as diagonal 1,5,9, etc... unfortunately, that method does not apply here.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to check the pattern of the blue triangle that is drawn in all 8 figures.
But there are also other types of solving methods.
![]() |
Numbers 1 and 3, 4 and 6, 7 and 9 are symmetrical to each other. (If you don't understand well, try combining the blue triangles from numbers 1 and 3 in one place. They become a blue square.) |
![]() |
This is diagonal symmetry. Numbers 1 and 9, 3 and 7 are symmetrical.. |
This approach helps in finding useful solutions.
Of course, the most universally applicable approach to various types of problems is to check the movement of the blue triangle rotating clockwise in numbers 1-3, 4-6, and 7-9.
This is a very easy quiz, and experienced people can solve it in about 30 seconds, but what you can learn from this quiz is also practicing approaching different types of interpretation methods.
In my experience, becoming familiar with this type of approach is helpful even for those attempting the actual Mensa test.
I'm a blogger who writes about travel, but I don't think that brain development is meaningless for our travels and lives. This pattern approach helps in various aspects of life, including relationships.
Quickly identifying and understanding the types of people or environments enhances the quality of your travel. We don't perfectly understand the destinations we travel to. There are many aspects of the country's people, culture, language, and way of thinking that we cannot know until we go there and face them directly.
Let's apply this pattern understanding to travel.
Example: When in maze-like structures such as Iranian bazaars or the Marrakech medina "Structure with repeating left/right alleys" → If you remember the symmetrical repetition of the terrain → You can quickly find your way out
Well, in relationships too, understanding patterns based on the other person's mood makes it much easier to respond appropriately to their behavior.
