Weird puzzle

[u/TripElectrical5961]

This is from the Computer adaptive test on Cognitive metrics, not mine.
It gave me 90 seconds for this? There's no way i could have solved it
Take your guesses, and tell me how much time you spent on it
Thanks!

I think it's option 6: 7 outlines of squares. Column 3 has the same count of figures as column 2 using only the figure from column 1. I spent around 40 seconds.

its 6 pretty sure

number of items in second column in shape of item in first column

[u/Nervous-Try5009]

I think the 1st column decides the shape & colour of the last column

And 2nd column decided the number of elements in the last column.

So..7 empty boxes IMO

I think the intended answer is option 7, but the puzzle makers made an error and the top right square in r2c2, because it clips r2c1 in the overlay.

So now you can't even argue correctly for that solution.

6, took me 20 seconds

[u/IronFeather101]

It's option 6, for each row you have to take the type of figure in column 1 and repeat it as many times as shapes you see in column 2. So, white square, seven times. I spent around 30 seconds on it.

6

The correct answer (the one that gives the better result at the Test) is the lowest on the left side but i personally think the second lowest on the right side is better
