Spatial Reasoning and Rotation Test

Mentally rotate a shape and pick the match.

A free mental rotation challenge. You see a shape and pick which option is the same shape turned clockwise, while avoiding mirror images and slightly edited look-alikes. You get a raw count of correct answers.

What it measures

How many shapes you correctly identify after a clockwise rotation, avoiding mirrored and edited look-alikes.

DurationAbout 4 minutes

How the score works

One point per correct rotation. Wrong or skipped items score zero.

Worked example

A shape turned 90° clockwise keeps its outline, so a mirror image of it can never be the answer, even if it looks right at a glance. If you get 5 of the 6 Entry items right, your score is 5 / 6.

Entry, Regular and Hard

Entry: 6 starter rotations with a 4 minute limit.
Regular: 20 items using more angles (90°, 180° and 270°) and more shape families, 8 minute limit.
Hard: 20 items where every wrong option is a mirror image or a one-cell edit of the answer, so you must check reflection as well as rotation. 8 minute limit.

Each level has its own fixed set of items and its own score, so results are only compared within the same level. How levels are designed

Questions

What is mental rotation?

Imagining an object turning to compare it with another. Tasks like this are a common way to practise spatial reasoning.

How do I tell a rotation from a mirror image?

Pick a corner and follow the outline clockwise. A rotation keeps that order; a mirror image reverses it.

Does screen size matter?

Yes. Small screens make fine details harder to compare, so use the same device when you compare your own results.
