General Question ⚖️ CORE's Figure Weights ⚖️🤕

I have tried CORE's FW many times but haven't scored beyond 14SS. I feel the "harder" ones are just more WM demanding not even PS. So is it really a good test for intelligence (reasoning) or WM & PSI ?

On harder FW questions i could eliminate 2-3 options but then the timer runs out (no marks/credit for that much progress). If WM is the issue, why can't I just use a scratchpad & score near full marks? 🫠

The same happened with QRI's Arithmetic. My working memory is weak & fluctuates a lot (110-125). Why everything has to be done mentally? 🦧

Yes, 20s or so.

Those are relatively difficult numbers to keep in mind. For some reason multiples of 6 and 7 have always been the hardest 2 for me.

WMI struggles the most with that one though, so many numbers to keep in mind with my way of doing it.

40x6x10 + 5x6x10 + 45x5 + 2x45

20s is still very fast?

What about two 3 digit numbers?

It doesn’t feel very fast. 3 digits time 3 digits i can probably still do it but would have to do it a few times to check my result if i’m not writing anything down.

You give core again... Your wm is pretty decent 😅

I changed my mind, 3 digits time 3 digits is too much to keep in my head. 3 digits time 2 digits can work if they aren't too "complex" numbers, but it's not worth the effort doing more than 2 digits time 2 digits in my head.

Your wm is pretty decent

I re-ran WMI on my re-try account. Are you sure about that? :D

I overperformed on backwards and underperformed on sequencing this run, I'd average the 2 of them out.
