Spatial Reasoning Skills

Spatial abilities are the perceptual and cognitive aptitudes that process spatial relations, in simpler words the visualization and orientation of objects in space. These assess your ability to manipulate 3D objects by tossing and rotating them. Spatial intelligence questions test your raw intelligence without the influence of prior study. On the prima facie, such questions may appear baffling but the trick is not to give up too quickly. Often a second look at the problem will reveal a different approach, and a solution will strike you, since the brain has been given the opportunity to process information further.
