Matrigma Test: 12 adaptive minutes of matrix reasoning

Updated October 2026 · Format researched 4 October 2026 · Assessio

Matrigma, published by Assessio, is a non-verbal matrix test used in graduate and professional hiring, especially in the Nordics. The current product is Adaptive Matrigma: up to 12 minutes, up to a minute per item, six answer choices, and item difficulty that follows your answers. The number of items you see depends on your pace; Assessio's 2017 manual for the adaptive version sets a ceiling of 40.

Classic Matrigma, with a fixed item set, is a separate product. This page is about the adaptive one.

What a question looks like

A grid of figures with one missing and six alternatives. Prep material describes a 3×3 layout; Assessio's public documentation confirms the six choices and the clock but not the grid shape, so we mark it as inferred. The opening items form an easier warm-up before the adaptive selection takes over.

Scoring

Assessio converts the ability estimate to a C-score from 0 to 10 (mean 5, standard deviation 2). The adaptive manual labels 0–2 below average, 3–6 average and 7–10 above average. There is no conventional wrong-answer penalty, but because the estimate is adaptive, wrong answers pull it down. What counts as a good score is set by the employer against the role's norm group.

How to prepare

What our free test matches — and what it does not

The free test below gives ten 3×3 matrices with six choices and a minute each. It is not adaptive and the 3×3 layout is our inference from prep material, as noted above.

Frequently asked questions

How many questions are in Matrigma?

It varies with your pace. The adaptive version runs up to 12 minutes with up to a minute per item; Assessio's 2017 manual gives a ceiling of 40 tasks.

What is a good Matrigma score?

Scores are C-scores from 0 to 10. Assessio's manual calls 7–10 above average. Employers set their own cut-offs per role.

Is there negative marking?

Not in the conventional sense, but the adaptive estimate falls when you answer wrongly, so guessing is not free.
