Only 3% Can Ace This Shape Identification Challenge — Are You One of Them?

Shapes are all around us — from simple circles to complex 3D figures like dodecagons and icosahedrons. In geometry, a shape is defined by its outline, regardless of size, position, or rotation. That means moving, resizing, or flipping an object doesn’t change its shape. Over the years, we learn to recognize and classify shapes by the number of edges they have and whether they meet specific criteria to be called regular or irregular.

But how well do you really know your shapes? Can you easily tell an ellipse from an ellipsoid or a trapezium from a trapezoid? Don’t worry — many people get tripped up by these details. Take this quiz to find out if you’re among the few who can confidently match every shape to its correct name.
