Hey there! 

If still relevant for someone, here is my approach to this test! 

Generally you need to identify patterns within a sequence of shapes and select the correct next figure from the given options...

Looking at the first question: 

First look at the elements: 

  • The inner lines and shapes within the circle are consistent across the series, with alternating orientations and arrangements.
  • The black and white shading of the outer circle follows a pattern.
  • The internal diagonal and triangular lines seem to rotate or shift progressively.

Then identify the sequence: 

  • The first and third figures have black outer circles, while the second and fourth have white outer circles, suggesting an alternating color pattern.
  • The internal diagonal lines in the second and fourth images appear rotated and have an additional small black dot placed in a consistent spot.
  • A recurring triangular segmentation inside the circle exists across all figures.

From my point of view option D fits the expected pattern because:

  • The alternating black/white background continues correctly.
  • The internal shapes and lines maintain the rotational and dot placement logic found in the previous figures.

Best, Alessa
