Spatial reasoning

Rotate. Do not mirror.

Mental rotation tasks become easier when you track orientation instead of treating mirrored shapes as rotated shapes.

IQFlow Pinterest pin explaining a mental rotation trick.

Quick answer

The key idea

A rotated shape keeps its internal left-right relationships. A mirrored shape reverses them.

How to check

1

Choose a corner or marker.

2

Track where it moves after rotation.

3

Check left-right relationships.

4

Reject the option that flips the shape.
