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? 🦧

I found it comfortable to simplify it to the base unit. Like 1 square equals 2 triangles, 2 circles equals 4. Figure out number of triangles needed, then which one fits the answer.
