The Alva Labs Logic Test & Alva Personality Test Complete Guide 2024

Correct Answer

In this question the figures consist of a varying number of lines around a circle. Although the number of lines increases by one in each figure, there are two different patterns in this question: (1) from left to right and (2) from top to bottom.

In each row, from left to right, a line is added on the left side of the shape in every movement. Hence, we can deduce the pattern is a progression counter-clockwise.

Down the columns from top to bottom, a line is added to each figure on the right side, clockwise. Hence, we can deduce the pattern is a progression clockwise.

The “Alva Guide“ included in the preparation pack contains more information regarding the “progression clockwise/counter-clockwise” pattern.

Followed by the two patterns, the number of lines in the missing figure must increase by one from the figure above it and the figure on its left.

Therefore, the missing figure must contain five lines, meaning that the only possible choice is answer 6.

Correct Answer

In this question there are four different kinds of shapes: a rectangle, a heart, a star, and an X.

Looking at the rows, from left to right, we notice each figure contains a different small shape inside of a bigger shape. In each row we have one of each: a star, an X, or one without a small shape, when the small shapes change in encirclement movement pattern:

Therefore, according to the last row the missing figure must contain a small star in the middle of the figure.

When looking at the columns from top to bottom, each column contains a heart, a rectangle, and a third shape combining both - a heart inside a rectangle.

From this construction pattern, we can deduce that the missing figure must contain a combination of the two shapes in the figures above it, a heart inside a rectangle.

Correct Answer

In this question, the pattern is as follows:

In each row and column, the third figure is constructed from the other two figures.

• If the circles are located at the same side of the diagonal line (left-top side of the figure OR right-bottom side of the figure), we need to use addition and add the circles from the first and second figures of the row.
• If the circles are located at opposite sides of the diagonal line (left-top side AND right-bottom side of the figure), we need to use subtraction and subtract the circles.

Thus, the third figure is the result of this complex construction of the two first figures, using subtraction and addition depending on the circles sides.

For example, the first figure in the first row contains one circle above the line, and the second figure contains one circle on the same side as well.

Thus, the third figure will be a complex construction of these two, having an addition between them: 1+1=2, meaning two circles. Note that the circles must stay at the side of their majority, hence, above the diagonal line.

When looking at the second row, the first figure contains one circle above the line and the second figure contains three circles on the opposite side (under the diagonal line).

Therefore, the third figure will be a complex construction of subtraction between these two, having: 3-1=2. Meaning two circles below the diagonal line, where the majority is.

The missing shape should therefore include the complex construction of the two figures above it, having two circles above the line and two circles under the line, which means subtraction between those two. The result is zero circles (2-2=0).

Same for the row, having again two circles above the line and two circles below the line, which results in zero circles due to the subtraction. Following this pattern for both columns and rows, the missing figure must have no circles at all. The option that matched these patterns is option 5.

Notice the specific position of the circles in their section of the figure is irrelevant for this question pattern, and only provides a distraction.
