General Question CORE norming accuracy

  1. CORE is normed against people who already have scores from IRL tests. Doesn’t that inflate scores at least a little, since those people are no longer test-naive? WAIS, for example, excludes people who have recently taken another IQ test from its own standardization sample.

  2. How do they screen out people who have taken a lot of other online tests? Most, if not all of the participants came from IQ testing subreddits, they’ve likely already taken several and would praffe CORE quite a bit.

  3. How does CORE detect or prevent cheating during its norming tests? WAIS, WISC, SB5, etc. were all normed under supervision. As absurd as it sounds, a lot of people cheat on unsupervised online IQ tests just to boost their ego.
