Aon Discover Rules Test – Format, Examples & Practice Tips
The Aon Discover Rules Test measures your ability to identify hidden rules or patterns in abstract sequences. This blog breaks down the format, common examples, and how to practice effectively for this module.
This test is part of the Aon scales clx or “figural rules” family. It evaluates how quickly and accurately you can figure out relationships between visual elements (shapes, colors, sequences). You don’t need math or language skills – only abstract reasoning ability.
What Is the Aon Discover Rules Test?
You are shown a group of images or patterns. Each follows a hidden rule or logic (e.g., shape rotation, size changes, symmetry). Your job is to select the next pattern or rule-compliant option based on the relationship you discover.
- Time limit: 12–15 minutes
- Approximately 20–25 questions
- Each question is independent
- All are non-verbal, visual logic problems
Examples of Hidden Rules
Rules might involve geometric patterns, movement, or transformations. Here are a few examples:
- Shapes rotate 90° clockwise each step
- Dots move outward from center by 1 unit each time
- Number of sides increases by 1 in each figure
- Two attributes alternate (e.g., color + size)

FAQs – Aon Discover Rules Test
Is this the same as an IQ test?
It’s similar in structure but more focused on pattern discovery. It’s used for hiring, not academic IQ testing.
Can I practice without diagrams?
No. The test is entirely visual. You need exposure to real diagram-based questions to improve.
How many answer choices per question?
Typically 4 to 6 options. Only one follows the correct rule or completes the sequence.
What skills are being tested?
Visual reasoning, logic, pattern recognition, and mental flexibility under pressure.
