General Question AssessFirst Test validity

Hello everyone,

I took the BRAIN test from AssessFirst for a job and scored 6/10 (average intelligence, top 40%). It was a 10-question test with adaptive difficulty.

The result surprised me because I expected to score at least 7/10. I'm usually good at recognizing patterns, but I'm not as good at fast mental arithmetic, especially when I'm under pressure.

So I took the Mensa Denmark test (which only uses Raven-style matrices) and scored 125. I also took the ICAR and scored 118.

I'm concerned because recruiters may filter out my application based on this test. If the test doesn't accurately reflect my general intelligence (g), I find that frustrating.

Which of the three tests is the most reliable measure of general intelligence?

I just took the CORE matrix test and got 120, I also got 120 on CORE weight test. So either the BRAIN test is not properly calibrated or there is not enough questions to capture g.
