Shape Spinner practice
Logical reasoning · 10 questions · 4 minutes
Test Partnership describes the task as: Find the wheel position where each symbol is next to one of the same shape or same shading, but not both.
This page plays it at the real length, with questions that adapt to your answers.
- A wheel shows an inner ring and an outer ring of symbols. Each symbol has a shape and a shading.
- Turn the inner wheel. In the correct position, every inner symbol is next to an outer symbol with the same shape or the same shading, but not both.
- A pair that matches in both, or in neither, is wrong. Only one position works. Submit when you find it.

What Shape Spinner measures
Shape Spinner is one of Test Partnership's two logical reasoning games. Test Partnership lists it at 10 questions in 4 minutes and says it assesses logical reasoning, speeded rotation, visualization and serial perceptual integration. Like every MindmetriQ game, it adapts: harder or easier questions follow your answers, with a short time limit on each question.
How this practice version works
Our wheels have four to eight symbols per ring, built so exactly one position works, and they add shapes and shadings as you answer correctly. Each wheel has 24 seconds. Test Partnership publishes the total time but not the limit per question, so we split it evenly. Difficulty runs from level 1 to 5: one step up after a right answer, one step down after a wrong one. Your first full game is free; the results show accuracy, average time and the highest level you reached.
How to do well
Pick one inner symbol and list the outer slots it could sit next to. Only test those positions in full; most positions fail on the first pair you check.
Shape Spinner questions
What if a pair matches in shape and shading?
Then that position is wrong. Each pair must match in exactly one of the two: same shape with different shading, or same shading with a different shape.
Is there always exactly one answer?
Yes. In ours every wheel has exactly one position that works, which matches the instruction in Test Partnership's demo.
