Participant 2

Initial description: Look at how the squares are colored in within each square-group in the grid. Then color in the corresponding squares in the test output area.

Final description: Create a 9x9 grid in the test-output area. Then look at each area of gray squares in the test-input area, and see how the colored squares are situated within each area. Then transfer what you see to the test output area. Then color in all black squares with gray.

Participant 3

Initial description: Make the big background the color of the little squares background. Then, basically put it together like a puzzle - corner pieces in the corners, and the other pieces where they fit for a straight border. Make it a 9x9 grid.

Participant 4

Initial description: Meld the shapes of the colored blocks to the edges of the grid. Fill in the blanks with gray cells

Final description: Change the grid to 9 by 9 squares then match the shapes of the colored cells to the correct corresponding borders. the corner cells should mold perfectly to the corners and the pointed cells will "point towards the center.

Participant 5

Initial description: Everything kept the same shape. The grid was 9 x 9 for all of them so that's what I did for the output. The background for all non colored shapes was grey for all of them, so I kept everything that wasn't a color grey.

Participant 12

Initial description: The entire grid shrinks, then the shapes are put into their respective corners.

Final description: The entire grid shrinks, then the shapes are put into their respective corners.


Attempt 1: Correct

Participant 13

Initial description: The ones shaped like corners moved to the corners they were pointed toward and the other shapes moved to the side that had the blocks colored in.

Final description: The corners moved to the corners they were pointed toward and the other shape went to the wall with where the three colored blocks were toward and everything else was colored gray.
