Introduction
Figure analysis involves identifying a small, specific shape hidden within a larger, more complex design. This is a key part of non-verbal reasoning that tests visual perception and spatial intelligence.
Explanation Step by Step
To find a hidden figure, compare the question figure with the given options. Look for identical line segments, angles, and proportions. The hidden figure must be present in the larger image in the exact same orientation unless rotation is permitted.

Tricks and Shortcuts
Focus on the most unique part of the hidden figure, such as a sharp angle or a curved line, and scan the options for that specific feature first.
Common Mistakes
