2x2 Figural Analogy (TI-I)
Figural reasoning
2x2 Figural Analogy (TI-I) assesses figural reasoning. The student is shown a pair of figures that stand in some relation to each other, then asked to complete a second pair by the same relation. What is measured is not knowledge but the ability to notice a rule and apply it again.
What it makes visible
- Separates rule-finding from rule-applying: some students see the relation but cannot carry it across.
- Requires no reading, so it works with students whose language skills lag behind their reasoning.
- Read together with 3x3 Completion, it shows whether difficulty is with the relation itself or with holding several relations at once.
Scope and limits
This is a screening and assessment instrument; it does not make a clinical diagnosis. The exact scope of use must be verified against the relevant instrument form, its norm group and the conditions of administration.

Scenarios that include this instrument
Frequently asked questions
No. This is a screening instrument for one narrow ability, administered under one set of conditions. It says nothing about general intelligence and is not a diagnostic tool.
Yes. The items are entirely figural and the instructions are given verbally, so reading ability does not limit administration.
Scope note
This structure is designed to support assessment, screening and guidance processes — not to make a clinical diagnosis. The aim is not to diagnose but to know the student more accurately, follow their development and identify the support they need in time.
