What type of layout is depicted?

• A. An equal t pattern
• B. An unequal t pattern
• C. A cross pattern
• D. A spiral pattern

Answer: (B)

Pattern recognition through symmetry and proportion helps you classify how elements are arranged. In the depicted layout, the elements form a T shape, but the two parts of the T aren’t in the same proportion or length. One arm extends more than the other, or the spacing around the arms is uneven, creating an asymmetrical T. That clearly points to an unequal T pattern. If everything were balanced, with equal lengths and spacing, it would look like an equal T. A cross pattern would show four equal arms around a center, and a spiral would curve around inward, not form a T at all.
