๐Ÿง  What is a Non-Verbal Analogy?

In non-verbal analogy, you’re shown figures/images and asked to find the relationship between two figures, and then apply the same pattern or logic to find the missing figure from options.

โœจ Example Format:

A : B :: C : ?


๐Ÿš€ Best Trick Method to Crack Non-Verbal Analogy

โœ… Step 1: Observe Shape Type

  • Is it geometric (circle, square, triangle)?

  • Are the shapes same/different in pairs?

  • Check number of sides, curves, straight lines.


โœ… Step 2: Check Rotation or Flip

  • Is one shape a rotated version of another (90ยฐ, 180ยฐ)?

  • Is it flipped horizontally or vertically?

๐Ÿ”„ Rotation and flip are very common tricks in analogy.


โœ… Step 3: Count Elements or Parts

  • Count:

    • Sides

    • Dots

    • Arrows

    • Divisions or parts inside the shape

๐Ÿงฎ Sometimes the change is just in the number of elements.


โœ… Step 4: Check Shading/Color Pattern

  • Is shading added/removed?

  • Is there a black-white reversal?

๐ŸŽจ A figure may turn black to white or vice versa.


โœ… Step 5: Apply Pattern to Second Pair

Once the relationship from A โž B is identified, apply the same transformation to C โž ?


๐Ÿ” Example Question (Visualized in Words)

Q:
Figure A: A triangle pointing up
Figure B: The same triangle rotated 180ยฐ (points down)
Figure C: A square with a dot inside
Options: Different rotations or flips of the square with the dot

โœ… Trick: Since A โ†’ B is a 180ยฐ rotation, apply the same to C
โ†’ Look for a square with the dot now in the opposite corner
Answer: Option with rotated square (dot flipped 180ยฐ)


๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Quick Trick Table

Observation Possible Relation
Rotation 90ยฐ, 180ยฐ, 270ยฐ
Flip Horizontal/Vertical
Element Count Change +1, -1, ร—2
Shading Change Inverted color or fill
Position Shift Clockwise / Anti-clockwise
Mirroring Left to right / Top to bottom

๐Ÿ’ก Pro Tips:

  • ๐Ÿ‘๏ธ Focus on difference, not similarity

  • โฑ๏ธ Practice under time to improve speed

  • ๐Ÿ“š Solve previous year exam papers

  • ๐Ÿงฉ Use apps like “Pocket Aptitude” or “Oliveboard” for mock tests
