Cube Rotation Visualization Test Guide
Cube Rotation Visualization Test Guide
RE–Spatial Reasoning
This test measures the candidate's visualization ability, that is, to form
visual mental representations and manipulate them, transforming them into new ones
representations. The execution time is 18 minutes for this test. However, the test
what was applied by CESPE in the Federal Police competition was more extensive than
What we presented had some exercises involving 6 cubes and had more time.
Meanwhile, understanding the test shown here makes the other one easy to do. In this
test, we have a cube and rotations that it undergoes are shown. Following the
previous transformations, the candidate must determine which cube completes
It will be clearer by observing the drawings. Let's start with the examples from the cover,
that are done as a test before the actual exam starts along with the explanations of the
psychologist.
As the candidate can see, the black dot that is on the top face in (1) moves to
right in (2) and then disappears. The cross that is on top in figure (2) goes to the
right in (3). Therefore, the figure is rotating clockwise in relation to the face of
front. Therefore, mentally performing this same rotation on figure (3), the entire face
the black one on the top side must move to the right. The only figure that shows this is the one from
letter C, which is the correct answer. We showed the rotations in the figures during the
resolutions, in order to facilitate visualization. However, remember that one cannot strike out the
notebook during the resolution.
Here the rotation is counterclockwise in relation to the right face. Therefore, the face that is in front
the (3) must be at the top in the missing figure. Therefore, the correct cube is the one that
it has the black face on top, that is, B. See the resolution pattern: 1 determine the rotation
what is happening, 2 determine which cube will be where in the missing figure, 3 compare
with the answers and determine the correct answer.
This is a bit more complex. The cube spins down and then to the right. In
Then he rolls down. It is expected that he will roll to the right. And by doing so
that, leads to answer B.
Having finished the examples, let's go to the tests. Notice that the first movements are
determined by the designs and the last one is deduced
The first movement is a rotation to the right and the second is too. Therefore, the
the last move is also to the right. Thus, the left side (completely black) must
go ahead. The only option that fits is option A.
This is a bit more complex. The cube spins down and then to the right. In
Then he rolls down. It is expected that he will roll to the right. And by doing so
that, leads to answer B.
Here we have a turn up, followed by another turn up. Therefore, the next
the movement is another turn upwards, making the entire black face be on the right.
Therefore, the correct answer is E. Letter B also has the entire right side black, but
the frontal face is directed incorrectly.
Here we have movements downwards. Therefore, the correct answer is the one with the face
with the black triangle on the top face and supported at the front. Therefore, letter A
Here we have movements upwards. Therefore, the correct answer is the one where the circle in
the bottom face and the checkered pattern on the left face (in this case, it is necessary to follow the face of the
left in the drawings where she is covered up to find out which one she will be in the drawing
final). The correct answer is A
The movements are once again upwards. The correct answer is the one that has the 'T' in it.
face down the cross on the left face letter E.
We have counterclockwise movements in relation to the face on the right. The correct answer is
the one that has a black front face and a black ball on the top face answer C.
We have in this figure clockwise rotations in relation to the top face. The correct figure is that one.
there is the cross on the left and the square (just follow it during the rotations) on the face of the
front therefore, letter B.
We have counterclockwise movements relative to the right face. The correct answer is
the one that has the diagonal line at the bottom and the vertical line on the right face.
Therefore, the letter C.
The movements are counterclockwise in relation to the front face. The complication here lies in
the face account in relation to which the rotation is occurring does not change with the
movements. However, it is enough to pay attention to the fact that after the 3 rotations the face is
exactly one position before the one where it was initially. Therefore, the answer
The correct one is the one that has the entire upper face black and the face shaped like an arrow.
to the right (note that the arrow is pointing down due to the rotation). Therefore, the letter C.
We have counterclockwise movements in relation to the right face. The appropriate response has the
ball in front and the cross on top – letter D.
We have hourly movements regarding the frontal face. The appropriate answer is the one that
there is the diagonal on the top face. Moreover, the diagonal needs to be in the format
decontrabarra - \ . Therefore, it can only be answer A
The movements are counterclockwise in relation to the right face. The correct answer needs to have
on the front face the square and on the right face the triangle needs to be on the bottom side
right. Furthermore, on the top face we should have the gray face. Therefore, the correct answer is the
D.
We have counterclockwise movement in relation to the top face, counterclockwise movement in
in relation to the top face, clockwise movement in relation to the right face and movement
schedule in relation to the top face. The sequence of movements does not suggest a logic.
Therefore, it is necessary to observe the cubes given as answers and see if there is
the possibility of them being the correct answer. Cube A could not be, because it has
two faces equal to the fourth cube of the sequence, but one different (so it is another cube). The
cube B could be the answer it would come out of the last cube with a clockwise rotation in relation to
at the top face. Cube C could not be the answer (just look at how the black face and
the face with the two lines is in different positions. It can't be cube D either,
for the face of the square is in a different position in relation to the triangle (compare with
the fourth figure in the sequence). And E could not be the answer, since if the cube were to suffer
a rotation so that the triangle would be in this position facing the left would be black.
Logo, the correct answer is B.
The first movement is a counterclockwise rotation relative to the left face. Next
we have a counterclockwise rotation in relation to the top face. Then a counter-
clockwise to the left. Therefore, the next movement should be a counter-
hourly in relation to the top face. By doing this, we arrive at figure D
The first movement is a counterclockwise rotation relative to the top face. Then
we have another movement similar to the first. Then we have a clockwise rotation in relation to
right. And then we have a counterclockwise rotation relative to the top.
Therefore, the expectation is that the last movement will be another counterclockwise rotation in relation to
at the top, since in the beginning there were two. By doing this, we arrive at figure E
We start with a counterclockwise movement relative to the right, we go through another
equal movement, then we have a clockwise movement in relation to the front and a
clockwise movement to the right. In this way, the expected is a clockwise movement.
regarding the right again. This movement leads to figure B.
The first movement is counterclockwise with respect to the left. The second movement is counter-
Clockwise in relation to the bottom part. The next is counterclockwise in reaction to the left.
Therefore, we should expect another counterclockwise movement regarding the bottom part - the
which leads to figure A.
The movements are, in order: clockwise to the right, counterclockwise on top, clockwise to the right.
Therefore, the next one must be counter-clockwise on top which leads to answer D.
The movements are: clockwise on the left, counterclockwise on top, clockwise on the left.
Therefore, the final movement must be counterclockwise on top. This last movement leads to
cross to the right side. However, the big complication here is that there are 3 answers with this

exclusion. The line, proposed in response A, could not be, since it is on the face
left (a horizontal line is just to follow its movement). The diagonal cannot be either,
because it is on the lower face. Therefore, the correct answer is letter E (if we follow the cross
From the first drawing, we will see that she really goes forward in the end.
