What is a Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test
A Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test is a test designed to measure your non-verbal, abstract and cognitive functioning. In the test, a candidate is presented with a matrix of 3x3 geometric designs, with one piece missing. The candidates' job is to choose the right diagram, from a set of eight answers, that completes a pattern in the matrix that you have to figure out. The questions and answers are all completely non-verbal.
The Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test was developed in the 1930’s by J.C. Raven to research how genetic aspects and environmental aspects influence intelligence. The Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test is designed to have no cultural or ethnic bias, so it should measure only the genetic component of intelligence without the influence of environment. Today the test is widely used as a pre-employment assessment tool.
