SPACE RELATIONS DIRECTIONS This test consists o f forty patterns which can be folded into figures. For each pattern, five figures are shown. You are to decide which of these figures can be m ade from the p attern shown. T h e p attern always shows the outside o f the figure. H ere is an example: E x a m p le

X

W hich o f these five figures — A, B, C, D , E — can be m ade from th e p attern in Exam ple X ? A and B certainly cannot be m ade; they are n o t the right shape. C and D a re correct both in shape and size. You cannot m ake E from this pattern. — In the test there will always be a row of five figures for each pattern. — In every row there is at least one correct figure. Usually m ore than one is correct. In fact, in some cases, all five may be correct. N ow look at the pattern for Exam ple Y and the five choices for it. N o te th a t w hen the pattern is folded, the figure m ust have two gray surfaces. O ne of these is a large surface w hich could be e ith er the top or bottom of a box. T he other is a small surface which w ould be one end o f the box.

Ex a m p l e Y

Notice — all the "boxes" m ade from this pattern are correct in shape, but the sides which you see are different. Some of these figures can be m ade from this pattern while others cannot. Let us look at them. — Figure A is correct. If the large gray surface is shown as the top, then the end surface of gray can be shown facing towards you. — Figure

Bis wrong.

The long, n arro w side is not gray in the pattern.

— Figure Cis correct. T he two gray surfaces can both be hidden by placing the large gray surface at the bottom and the gray end to the back. — Figure

D is wrong.

T he gray end is all right, but there is no long gray side in the pattern.

— Figure Eis correct. O ne can show the box so that the large gray surface is at the bottom (as it was in C ) , but w ith the gray end showing at the front. So, you see, there are three figures (A, C and E) which can be m ade from the pattern in Example Y, and two figures (B and D ) which cannot be m ade from this pattern. Remember that the surface you see in the pattern m ust always be the OUTSID E surface of the completed figure. Now let’s see how we m ark our answers on the separate Answer Sheet. A sample is shown here. For Example X we found th at only figures C and D could be made,

Sa m p l e

so the spaces under C and D opposite X have been blackened. For

X

Example Y, A is a correct figure, C is correct, and E is correct, so opposite Y we have blackened in the spaces under A, C and E.

In taking the test: — Study each pattern. — Decide which of the figures can be made from the pattern. Show your choices on the Answer Sheet by blackening in the little space under the letter which is the same as that of the figure you have chosen in the booklet. If you decide a certain figure cannot be m ade from the Pattern, make no m ark on the Answer Sheet.
