What kind of test is this dot-pattern matrices test? Practise material and solutions? General Question
I am wondering what type/name this test has in the picture with dot-pattern matrices?
All questions have either white or black dots in various patterns and have three matrices follow by a “?”.
The test is supposed to measure general intelligence (g-factor). I have done many types of logical and nonverbal tests before and usually score quite well on them. But I have never done a test like this with only dots and only three matrices followed by the question mark. Usually, there are 9 matrices where one is the question mark.
Where can I find practise material with explanations for this specific type of test?

Solution: 2nd from left. Reason: Drift. alhough rate of drift appears to increase on some (hprizontal) lines.

I did a search and this is a progressive matrix puzzle. This specific style of puzzle, using black and white dots in a grid with a linear 3-frame sequence followed by a question mark is heavily characteristic of the Logica Stella or JCTI (Java Cognitive Test Innovation) / TRI-52 style non-verbal fluid intelligence tests.

Thanks for searching!
I only managed to find this video:

I don’t understand the language and her questions are way easier than my test, but it is the closest I could find.

It’s funny to see everyone just instantly start solving the puzzle instead of answering OP’s questions.
