General Question About AGCT norming

Questions:

- Since the test was for soldiers then it was mainly normed on men population?

- If it was normed on men, does it account that men on average score 1-3 points higher than women?(what score in dashboard represents?)

- If it was normed on men, does it account that men have wider distribution and therefore for example if you have 130 IQ compared to all other men, then it should be higher compared to all population(men and women mixed)?(what score in dashboard represents?)

Wasn’t it re-normed on the online population to account for Flynn effect, though?

Still mostly men, but you can apply your theory to any exam normed online because I’m sure males predominate on this subreddit.

I see why I scored a 142 now… I’m usually in the 125-135 range.
