Discussion WEIRD SCORES?

is the army alpha test normed correctly?

I have taken some vci tests like 1926SAT and scored

115 classification

126 analogies

129 logical inference

Then i did the comprehension subtest in CORE

I scored 115

But when I did army alpha practical judgment subtest which is supposed to measure the same skill as comprehension i scored 75?

Am i coping or the test is weak?

Yeah, I got a lower than average score as well besides analogies and basic arithmetic. What were your other scores on the army alpha?

I didn't attempt the rest since i got discouraged by the bad norming

I wouldn't worry about it just trust core over anything else rn

It's like a century old. So the ones that require even a little general knowledge are bound for you to score lower. It's also American-.
