GITP (PiCompany) Figure Sequences Explained
Learn what the GITP figure sequences module looks like, what rules to watch for, and how to prepare step by step for the assessment.
What this module covers
The figure sequences module in a GITP (PiCompany) assessment focuses on abstract reasoning. You look at a series of shapes and work out which figure should come next based on the pattern in the sequence.
This type of task usually asks you to compare changes in shape, direction, number of elements, size, rotation, fill, or position. The goal is to spot the rule quickly and apply it consistently.
Because assessment content can vary, it is useful to check the invitation email from GITP carefully. That message explains which parts of the online assessment apply to you.

How to approach the task
Work through each sequence one step at a time. Start by identifying what changes from one figure to the next, then check whether the same change repeats or follows a more complex order.
A practical checklist can help you stay organised during practice and on the test. Look for one rule at a time rather than trying to solve everything at once.
- Check the number of elements in each figure.
- Compare rotation, direction, and position.
- Notice changes in fill, size, or shape details.
- Test whether the pattern repeats or alternates.
What to focus on during practice
The best preparation is targeted practice with similar abstract reasoning items. That helps you get used to the pace and teaches you which visual cues matter most.
If a sequence feels unfamiliar, slow down and describe each figure in simple terms. This makes it easier to detect the rule and avoid guessing based on appearance alone.
- Review the invitation so you know which modules are included.
- Practise figure sequences regularly to build pattern recognition.
- Track which rule types take you the most time.
- Use that information to focus your preparation efficiently.
What to expect from the assessment format
GITP is a Dutch agency that supports recruitment, development, and career-related processes. Its assessments are used by many organisations, and the exact mix of sections may differ by invitation.
Figure sequences are part of the most common assessment components, alongside matrices, number sequences, and sometimes analogies. The online format means you should be comfortable reading instructions carefully and working systematically.
If you prepare in advance, you can become familiar with the style of reasoning before the assessment begins. That makes it easier to manage time and stay calm when the sequence gets more difficult.
