Shape Transformation Analogy
Shape Transformation Figure Analogy problems involve figures where the inner shape transforms to match the outer shape's type. For example, a square inside a circle becomes a circle inside a circle. You must identify the transformation rule and apply it to a new figure. These problems test pattern recognition and shape matching skills.

You must identify the transformation rule and apply it to a new figure. These problems test pattern recognition and shape matching skills.
Prerequisites
How to Solve Shape Transformation Analogy Problems
Step 1: Identify the outer shape and inner shape in Figure A
Step 2: Identify the outer shape and inner shape in Figure B
Step 3: Determine the transformation rule (inner shape changes to match outer shape type)
Step 4: Identify outer and inner shapes in Figure C
Step 5: Apply the same rule: transform inner shape to match outer shape type
Step 6: The outer shape remains unchanged
Step 7: The correct answer has same outer shape, inner shape now matches outer type
Example Problem
Example: Figure A: Circle (outer) with square (inner). Figure B: Circle (outer) with circle (inner). Figure C: Triangle (outer) with square (inner). What should Figure ? look like? Solution: Step 1: A: outer circle, inner square Step 2: B: outer circle, inner circle (inner matches outer) Step 3: Rule: inner shape transforms to match outer shape type Step 4: C: outer triangle, inner square Step 5: Transform inner square to triangle Step 6: Answer: Triangle with inner triangle Answer: Triangle with triangle inside
Pro Tips & Tricks
- Outer shape often remains unchanged in type
- Inner shape changes to match the outer shape
- The size of the inner shape may adjust proportionally
- Possible transformations: square→circle, circle→square, triangle→circle, etc.
- The transformation may also involve shading or orientation
- Sometimes the inner shape takes on properties of the outer shape
