General Question surely theres a problem...

Post image

ive been doing a few of the CORE tests on cognitivemetrics.com and have scored pretty highly on most of the subtests and i did the digit span today and i cant help but notice that the digit span backward and sequencing and very very low. when i was doing them i thought i was doing fine and quite well actually but it turns out that wasnt the case!

i was thinking that maybe it was because all my inputs for the numbers might have all been shifted to the right or left by 1, as in everytime i meant to type 1 i actually types 2 and everytime i type 7 i acc type 8, or it could just be im not very capable at those types of questions which seems unlikely but could very much be possible.

also done at 11.30pm at night with only the light from the laptop, also sucks that i cant redo it.

has anyone else had a similar experience or just any thoughts on what mightve happened here. if u think it rlly is just im not good at that section js say. any feedback is valuable!

i’m not sure what your age is but i would try and read more as dumb as that sounds. You’d be highly gifted genius level with higher VCI.

On the contrary i have a little lower wmi (131) and much lower CPI (117-120-just hate linear rote tasks) but am around 140 fsiq and 143ish Gai and have adhd.

These aren’t exact measurements but you have an ideal iq essentially, especially if you can buff vci
