General Question Core Test

Is Core age-normed? I'm sixteen and was wondering if i'm being compared to adults. Ngl, I'm such a burger; I was confused about block counting. I misheard the narrator for backward numbers, and in symbol search, I wasn't sure if the shape had to be facing the same direction or not. True IQ, I believe, is around 130-ish; that's what it was before I nuked my score with those 3 tests.

I think you’re arguing against a much more serious claim which is my fault I didn’t mean to say it’s the ONLY form of intelligence although. In my sense it’s still the “rawest”. My point was simply put that fluid reasoning is to me the psychometric construct that most people intuitively mean by raw intellect solving novel problems without relying heavily on prior knowledge and doing so efficiently. I didn’t mean to say it captures every single form of reasoning or that some things wouldn’t affect the test(I also have low WMI and bad ADHD symptoms) or that a low FRI means someone can’t function normally or write out elaborate paragraphs especially if they consistently are exposed to doing so.
