Upload a screenshot of an inductive reasoning question, get the answer in seconds, and see the rule that links the examples.
ReasonEra is an AI solver and tutor for inductive reasoning questions. You upload a screenshot or photo of a sequence or matrix; it finds the rule that links the examples, returns the answer and, in Tutor Explanation mode, explains the rule step by step. The aim is practice and understanding.
Inductive reasoning questions give you a series of examples, such as a sequence of figures or a grid, and ask you to infer the general rule and apply it to find the next or missing item. The skill is spotting what changes and what stays the same.
Question: Across each row the number of circles increases by one, and down each column the fill gets darker. What goes in the last cell?
Answer: Three black circles, as drawn in the answer box.
How the reasoning goes:
Original example, created by ReasonEra for practice. Not a question from any employer test.
ReasonEra has practice guides for these tests:
See all supported tests on the ReasonEra homepage.
| Category in the benchmark | General models tested | Specialised models |
|---|---|---|
| Advanced matrix reasoning (Raven's, Matrigma, Alva Labs style) | 51–76% | 96–99% |
Source: ReasonEra's published benchmark (30 November 2025). Method: 500+ analogous items from 15 providers, public material only, tested blind with the same inputs for every model. Compared models: GPT-4o, Claude Opus 4.5, Gemini 2.0 Pro, GPT-o1 and Grok 2 as of then. These are ReasonEra's own results and are unverified by others. Read the benchmark.
Most employers expect you to complete an assessment on your own. ReasonEra is meant for studying before that day, so use it to understand questions, not to answer a live one.
It is a tool that reads an image of an inductive reasoning question, finds the rule that links the examples and gives the answer. ReasonEra also explains the rule so you can learn to spot it yourself.
General assistants can read an image and try, but accuracy on visual pattern puzzles varies by model and question. ReasonEra's published benchmark concluded that specialised models outperform general-purpose models such as GPT-4o, Claude and Gemini on these tests. Try both on your own questions.
ReasonEra has guides and solvers for tests including SHL inductive reasoning, Aon cut-e scales ix, clx and cls, and SHL Verify Interactive G+. See the list on this page.
A free ReasonEra account comes with 3 trials. Beyond those, the 14-Day Pass is a single 49 € payment with no usage limit on supported tests.
ReasonEra is a practice tool. Whether outside help is allowed in a live test is the employer's decision, and often it is not, so check before you start.
Free trials come with every account. If it helps, a 14-Day Pass for 49 € removes the limit for two weeks.
Paddle processes payment. Read the Refund & Cancellation Policy for the details.
