Translation for figural

I am translating the text below, and I'm having problems with the term "figural". Any suggestions

This is the sentence in English:
The evaluation is designed to measure the verbal, quantitative, and figural reasoning skills that are most closely related to scholastic achievement.


This is my attempt:
La evaluación está diseñada para medir las habilidades de razonamiento verbal, cuantitativa, y “figural” que están más estrechamente relacionadas con el rendimiento escolar.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

I think it's a neologous usage, and most people would write "spatial". ¿"Razonamiento espacial" es una frase conocida?

"Razonamiento espacial" is the usual concept for design or building, see forms in the space, with collisions and so on, like "razonamiento geométrico" and usually "razonamiento espacio-temporal"
I didn't know if it was related to all the skills or only to verbal ones, so I writed "figurado" as "razonamiento figurado" wich was the more "verbal" next.
Folowing you, I think a more accurate translation, now with more time, is
"La evaluación está diseñada para medir las habilidades de razonamiento verbal, analítico y espacial que están más estrechamente relacionadas con el rendimiento escolar"

saludos
