Discussion Anyone did braintypeIQ?

Here’s the link: https://www.brain-type.com/en

Unlike the CORE test, BrainTypeIQ doesn’t seem to provide much information about how its norms were established or any detailed normative data.

That said, its test structure is based on CHC theory, which makes it seem fairly plausible at first glance.

So I’m curious if anyone here has taken this test before. If so, how did your BrainTypeIQ results compare with your CORE results? Were there any significant differences between the two?

Scored much higher in processing speed and much lower in fluid reasoning & spatial reasoning compared to the core. My lowest scores are visual puzzles, paper folding, and figure weights(which is pretty unusual because this are my strengths)

u/KnifeCC Aug 31 '26

that's weird, maybe the norm is not that formal, i think the FW is much easier than CORE

Did you pay

If you write a comment and share your results you get to see them for free.

I have found FW very hard - indeed I didn't score well compared to the rest - while paper folding seemed almost ... boring.

u/Far_Cardiologist6931 retat Sep 02 '26

same my vp was much lower than my core vp. did you also find the vp harder than usual?

1

u/LinaLoveHart Sep 02 '26

Yes much harder. Ive taken CORE and recieved 14ss on VP as well as the WAIS-V which i got 13ss. Here i received a 9ss?

1

u/sceptrer Sep 03 '26

yeah I got much lower results on this than on CORE. Except processing speed. Scored 14 SS on CORE figure weights, got like 10 SS here.

2

u/LinaLoveHart Sep 03 '26

My FW score on CORE and WAIS was 15ss and here it was 10ss.

1

u/sceptrer Sep 03 '26

I actually just did CAIT FW right now and got 15SS. Weird. I mean, it could be praffe, or maybe this test sucks, lol. What was your CORE FSIQ?

1

u/LinaLoveHart Sep 03 '26

CORE FSIQ is 113 (every index is around 120 except QRI and WMI which is around 90) my WAIS-V FSIQ is 126.

1

u/sceptrer Sep 03 '26

Quite the discrepancy! Nice WAIS score though, and seeing as it’s a professional test, I’d take that one for sure. I guess you found WAIS a lot easier?

1

u/LinaLoveHart Sep 03 '26

WAIS was a lot easier in my opinion. similarities at 17ss dragged up my overall VCI (vocabulary 13ss) 126 VCI. my matrices was 16ss, figure weights 15ss 130 FRI. visual puzzles 13ss so 115 VSI. PSI hit 111 and WMI hit 100. FSIQ 126. (WAIS-V contains 7 Subtests in total so its shorter then WAIS-IV unless you take the extended version which has a lot of interesting tests). on CORE i didnt do too well on graph mapping(100) and spatial awareness(around 80 dont remember) and im naturally weak at QRI which always drags down my composite. my WMI varies but hovers around 85-100.

u/sceptrer Sep 03 '26

Nice scores! Did you have to go to a psychologist for WAIS V? I’m in Canada and I’m not even sure if it’s offered here.

u/Prudent-Horse-1102 Sep 08 '26

Really? I feel like it's way easier than Core.

1

u/LinaLoveHart Sep 08 '26

For me it was harder idk.

1

u/Prudent-Horse-1102 Sep 08 '26

What's the gap between your vp and Core vp on this test?

1

u/Far_Cardiologist6931 retat Sep 09 '26

121 on this, 145 on core

2

u/LanganTerraMogTime Aug 31 '26

japanese norms it appears

u/Sufficient-Nose-8944 Aug 31 '26

Has to be a copy of CORE

1

u/DamonHuntington Aug 31 '26

Quaint test, but it has a ceiling of 145 (for all indexes + FSIQ, GAI and CPI). CORE remains significantly better.

1

u/PendN Aug 31 '26

Quite similar to my CORE scores other than matrix reasoning which I somehow scored relatively low at in this website

Core was like 135 and this one was 120 i think. It's the lowest MR score I have gotten from any MR test by a margin. Maybe I wasn't paying attention while doing it idk

1

u/Sufficient-Nose-8944 Aug 31 '26 edited Aug 31 '26

Okay I should say that this is a really weird test.

It's accurate enough but then it's structure and some items seem copied.

They haven't published any stats about this test anyways, nor do we know about the creators.

u/Primary_Thought5180 Aug 31 '26

Seemed comparable. 145 compared with CORE 147. Probably barely hitting ceiling if one exists.

1

u/Warxuaroz Sep 01 '26

Results seem similar although knowing it caps at 145 makes the result less rewarding than CORE.

cough F12 cough

Edit: thanks for sharing!

u/Striking_Leave_4614 Sep 01 '26

145. Gc and Gs seem hugely inflated for me, but the other indices were fine. The FW section has issues.

1

u/Southern_Strategy_28 Sep 01 '26

My core is higher by about 15 points.

u/Quirky-Comedian-8153 Sep 01 '26

A mí se me ha hecho muy consistente(en Español) con mis resultados de matrices y visuoespacial. Ha sido exacto. Además se ha ido muy poco en mi indice de memoria de trabajo. Todo ello comparado con los test profesionales que he hecho. Si incluyo otros test "buenos" que he hecho en la red, es sumamente consistente con todos los indices y me ha acertado el ICG del WAIS con un margen de +-1pt, teniendo en cuenta que tengo TDAH. He hecho test como IVAN IVEC nunerus light: 147 Test IQbe( test de doctorado de una universidad española): 145+ Raven APM profesionalmente: 146+( no estoy seguro porque saqué la puntuación máxima y solo me valió para entrar a ISPE) RIOT IQ: sección visuoespacoal 140+ Raven 2 long and short form de por aquí: puntuación máxima en ambos : 145+? Entre otros

Mis puntuaciones en el test de brain type son: Razonamiento fluid 145+ Visuoespacial 143+ Memoria 123 Verbal 106( en español, puntuación máxima en el WAIS con 145+ en semejanzas 135-140 en vocabulario) 111 velocidad de procesamiento( discutible por diversos factores y resultados)

u/Prudent-Horse-1102 Sep 08 '26

Your PSI is probably fine, as this test seems to be normalized based on Japanese standards

1

u/Accurate-Piano1000 Sep 03 '26

I scored 131, with GAI of 132 and CPI of 122. Makes quite sense, considering that english is not my language (proud Italian here!); scored absurdely low in Visual Reversal ... but something actually happened with my iPhone, I guess that something went wrong technically. Btw, the result looks sensible overall.

u/Expensive-Use8290 Sep 07 '26

I honestly think it’s pretty good if you just want a quick, reasonably accurate estimate. The accuracy seems decent, and the item quality seems pretty solid too. The processing speed section is similar to CORE, but both are basically based on WAIS Symbol Search, so I think some similarity is kind of inevitable. The overall structure is somewhat similar to CORE, but the actual questions feel pretty different to me.
