24 sample cards from the Non-Verbal Intelligence deck
Sampled from the end of the deck, so these are different cards from the ones shown on the syllabus page.
What is the recommended first step in solving an Odd One Out problem?
Find the common rule/property shared by the majority of figures; the one violating that rule is the odd figure.
What is a 'Paper Folding' (transparent sheet) problem?
A transparent sheet with a pattern is folded along given lines; you select how the combined/overlapping pattern looks after folding (or how it looks when refolded).
In transparent paper-folding problems, how do patterns from two halves combine?
When folded, the patterns overlap and superimpose; the result shows the combined design of both layers seen together.
What is a 'Paper Cutting' (paper folding and punching) problem?
A square paper is folded one or more times, then a cut/punch is made; you must determine the pattern of holes/cuts when the paper is fully unfolded.
What is the key principle for solving Paper Cutting problems?
Each fold creates a line of symmetry; every cut is reflected across each fold line when unfolded, so a single cut produces multiple symmetric holes (2 holes per fold, doubling with each fold).
If a square is folded once and one hole is punched, how many holes appear when unfolded?
Two holes, symmetric about the single fold line.
If a square is folded twice and one hole is punched, how many holes typically appear when unfolded?
Four holes (each fold doubles the number: 1 -> 2 -> 4), positioned symmetrically.
What is a 'Dot Situation' problem in non-verbal reasoning?
A figure has dots placed in specific regions (e.g., inside a triangle and a circle but outside a square); you must find the option where a dot can be placed in a region matching the same conditions.
What is the method to solve a Dot Situation problem?
Identify exactly which shapes/regions each dot lies in (and which it lies outside), then choose the answer figure that contains a region satisfying the identical combination.
What does 'lateral inversion' mean and where does it apply?
Lateral inversion is the left-right reversal of an image; it occurs in vertical mirror images.
Why is a clock useful to test understanding of mirror vs water images?
Because mirror image reverses the clock left-right (e.g., 3 o'clock becomes 9 o'clock visually), while water image flips it top-bottom, giving different transformed times; it shows the two reflections differ.
In Series and Matrix problems, what does 'shading rotation' refer to?
A rule where the shaded (filled) portion of a figure moves to the next position (e.g., next segment or next corner) in each successive figure.
What is the difference between 'Series of Shapes' and 'Figure Matrices'?
A series is a single linear sequence following one progressive rule; a matrix is a 2D grid where rules apply both across rows and down columns simultaneously.
What is the difference between Missing Figure and Odd Figure Out tasks?
Missing Figure asks you to ADD the element that fits the pattern; Odd Figure Out asks you to REMOVE/identify the element that breaks the pattern.
When rotating a figure clockwise by 90 degrees, where does a feature originally at the top go?
To the right side of the figure.
When rotating a figure anticlockwise by 90 degrees, where does a feature originally at the top go?
To the left side of the figure.
What general formula gives the number of holes in a paper-cutting problem with one punch and n folds?
Number of holes = 2^n (each fold doubles the count), assuming the punch does not lie on a fold line.
In Embedded Figures, why can the correct option be hard to see?
Because the target's lines are shared with or hidden among the extra lines of the complex figure, camouflaging its outline.
What property is preserved under rotation but NOT under reflection?
Handedness/chirality, a rotated figure keeps the same orientation sense (e.g., letter R stays an R), while a reflection produces a mirror-reversed (backwards) figure.
In a 3x3 matrix where each row's third figure is the overlay of the first two, what rule is at work?
A combination/superimposition rule: figure 3 = figure 1 + figure 2 combined (sometimes with overlapping lines removed).
How can symmetry help when finding an Odd Figure Out?
If most figures are symmetric (or asymmetric) along a certain axis, the figure with the opposite symmetry property is likely the odd one.
What is the practical difference between Paper Folding (transparent) and Paper Cutting problems?
Paper Folding superimposes printed patterns when a transparent sheet is folded; Paper Cutting reflects punched holes/cuts across fold lines when an opaque paper is unfolded.
For a Dot Situation answer, what must be true of the chosen figure's regions?
It must contain at least one region that lies inside exactly the same set of shapes (and outside the same shapes) as the original dot's position.
Summarize the four basic transformations underlying most non-verbal reasoning items.
Translation (movement of elements), Rotation (turning), Reflection (mirror/water flip), and Resizing/element change (adding, removing, shading, scaling).
What this deck covers
The Non-Verbal Intelligence deck follows the Army Soldier Test Non-Verbal Intelligence syllabus — 6 chapters and 18 topics — so questions land on material that is genuinely examinable rather than trivia around it. That works out to roughly 8.5 cards per chapter.
Answers are written to be recallable, not just readable — averaging about 132 characters, which is long enough to carry the reasoning and short enough to say out loud.
A deck like this earns its keep on the second and third pass. Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then use the cards to find the specific facts that have not stuck.
Non-Verbal Intelligence flashcards FAQ
How many Non-Verbal Intelligence flashcards are in this Army Soldier Test deck?
51 cards. This page previews 24 of them, sampled evenly across the deck so you can judge the difficulty before installing anything.
Are these Army Soldier Test flashcards free?
Yes. The preview here is free to read with no signup, and the full 51-card deck is free inside the Examius app.
What do the Non-Verbal Intelligence cards cover?
They follow the Army Soldier Test Non-Verbal Intelligence syllabus — 6 chapters and 18 topics — so the questions track what is actually examinable.
How should I use these flashcards?
Read the syllabus first so you know the shape of the subject, then drill the deck. Examius schedules each card with spaced repetition, so cards you keep missing come back sooner and ones you know drift further apart.
