What Is the Alva Labs Logic Test?
The Alva Labs Logic Test is a 40-minute, 20-question (abstract reasoning test) assessment based on 3×3 matrix puzzles. It measures your ability to spot patterns, apply rules, and draw conclusions from visual information.
-
Format: 3×3 matrix with one missing shape (often the bottom-right cell)
-
Answers: 6 options, only one correct
-
Timing: 40 minutes total (about 2 minutes per question)
-
Adaptive: Correct answers lead to harder questions; incorrect answers lead to easier ones
The test is similar to other logical reasoning tests, such as Raven’s Progressive Matrices Test (RPM) and Matrigma, but has several important differences.
Alva Labs Logic Test Example Questions
Alva Labs Logic Test Sample Question #1 (Easy)

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.
Alva Labs Logic Test Sample Question #2 (Easy)

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.

Achievement striving is linked to high aspirations, motivation, and being self-driven. High scores portray ambitious people who are task-focused, and their work takes a central place in their lives. Low scores are indicative of people who do not have clear goals, are not ambitious, do not initiate, and are not task-focused. Achievement striving is a quality that is very important in managerial positions under the assumption that high achievers are people who are willing to work hard to achieve their goals without shying away from challenges, obstacles, or complications. They are perceived to be people who are meticulous and methodical and can progress complicated processes long term. Managers are required to see the team or departmental tasks in front of them and make sure that every step is fulfilled to the best of everyone's ability. It requires taking long-term targets and breaking them down into smaller achievable goals without neglecting other routine commitments. Low levels of achievement striving are linked to low motivation levels and indifference- traits that are undesirable for managerial professions. It is therefore important to avoid low scores in this quality.

This quality is linked to aesthetics and art. Low scores reflect people who prefer a more practical and functional outlook, while high scores indicate people who take pleasure in art and beautiful things. High scores may be indicative of being overly focused on the aesthetic experience, which may hinder the more practical aspects of the managerial role. This quality is linked to the more creative aspects, which are important within the managerial role, and to varying degrees, are dependent on certain positions. However, the managerial profession is not directly linked to the emotional connection to art and aesthetics. Therefore, both people who show a connection to art and aesthetics, as well as people who focus on the more functional and practical, fit well into the role of managers.

Compliance reflects the extent to which people prefer to agree with and collaborate with others or to stand up for themselves and not shy away from conflict. The quality is linked to the ability to cope in situations where disagreements arise. As part of the role, managers are required to cope with conflict and not be afraid of disagreements or competition. However, they must also know how to avoid unnecessary conflict and know how to respond to the requests of employees to create a work environment that is effective and promotes collaboration. High scores indicate a tendency to give up, accept other people’s opinions at the price of expressing their own, and avoid disagreements and conflicts. On the other hand, low scores indicate a tendency to promote one’s opinion and fight for it even at the expense of causing disagreements and conflicts. Managers must know how to balance the ability to argue and protect thoughts and ideas while listening to others and compromising when necessary to advance goals and targets.
