RE: Thesis #3

You mentioned other Logic Gates in your thesis:

Unimplemented Rules that could be added to Corvus in the future include the other Logic Gates (NAND, NOR, p ∧ ¬q, ¬p ∨ q, ¬p ∧ q, p ∨ ¬q, p, ¬p, q, ¬q, YES, and NO), Symmetry, Rotational Symmetry, Tessellation, Magic Squares and Karnaugh Maps.

I took up this idea and created a 16 item Raven's matrices test, where each item is drawn at random from each Logic Gate. There are 16 Logic Gates; I'm not sure why your paper doesn't list them all, and I'm fairly sure your "Distribution-of-Two" rule is just an alias for one of them.

It's been normed and provides an IQ score at the end. Apparently, a perfect 16/16 score corresponds to 160 IQ. I believe I unintentionally made the test excessively difficult by using up/down triangles. In hindsight, vertical/horizontal lines would've been more familiar, Raven's-like, and intuitive to test-takers.

There's clearly lots of ground left to be covered, as far as research and application of Raven's matrices is concerned.

Couldn't this distribution-of-2 item be solved with either a white or black square? Both preserve symmetry. It could also be XOR. I thought the software supposed to only output with unique solutions, or at least, not present any alternative ones.

It can also be solved with a grey square, see this post:

Corvus has fallen short on its promise to only deliver items with unique solutions!
