Logiks Intermediate Abstract is Talogy's mid-tier inductive reasoning test. It sits between Logiks General (mixed) and Logiks Advanced Abstract (harder patterns). The Intermediate level uses standard pattern-recognition rules but at high speed: 20 items in 6 minutes means ~18 seconds per question.
Each item shows a 3x3 matrix or sequence of shapes with one element missing. You select the option (from 4-6 choices) that completes the pattern. Patterns combine the standard transformations:
At the Intermediate level, most items combine 2 rules. Identifying both rules quickly is the key skill.
Raw correct answers, converted to percentile. Average graduate score is ~12-14 out of 20. Top quartile (75th+ percentile) sits at 17+/20.
Master the seven core rules until pattern identification is reflexive. Spend 2-3 hours on Raven's APM-style practice (the rules transfer directly).
Two-rule decomposition. When a pattern feels stuck, ask: "What changes row to row?" Then separately: "What changes column to column?" If you can identify the row rule independent of the column rule, the answer falls out.
18-second discipline. If you've spent 25 seconds on an item, mark and move on. Time saved on later items is worth more than time spent on the current one.
TestSolve's inductive reasoning engine handles Logiks Intermediate Abstract directly. Press F8 and the answer arrives in 4-6 seconds. Current accuracy on intermediate-difficulty inductive: 76% — the engine handles single-rule and most two-rule patterns, with lower confidence on three-rule combinations. Try free with 3 captures.

Try a free solve Buy question packagesNumerical reasoning on Logiks Intermediate Abstract tests is almost always table-based: two or three small tables of financial, sales, or operational data, followed by a question that requires a multi-step calculation and a unit conversion.
Q. A retail chain sells three product lines. Units sold last quarter were 660 (Line A), 1,140 (Line B) and 310 (Line C). Average selling price was £1.00, £1.00 and £1.00 respectively. Total revenue to the nearest £ was:
A) £1,780 B) £1,950 C) £2,048 D) £2,110
A. Sum the units: 660 + 1,140 + 310 = 2,110. Answer: D.
The actual Logiks Intermediate Abstract question adds distractors: prices in pence rather than pounds, mixed currencies, unit ambiguity (per pack vs per item). Candidates who rush the unit check pick C or B despite nailing the arithmetic.
Standard Logiks Intermediate Abstract Verify numerical assessments give 18 questions in 18 minutes — about 60 seconds per question. That sounds generous but each question has 3–5 numbers to read, a calculation (often multi-step), and a unit conversion.
If you're past 75 seconds and still unsure, flag and move on — you can't recover four lost minutes from one stubborn question.
