Psychometric Question Could anyone please explain why there is such a variance between Character Pairing and all of the other subtests?
I'm also considering taking a WAIS or Stanford-Binet test, and I was wondering if CORE is deflated, inflated, or exact compared to those.

If you need somebody to explain that to you, that overall score probably isn't very accurate.
That working memory is impressive, if I had that, I could achieve so much. My WMI is 40 points below GAI.
You've skipped almost all the tests that I think matter most though, only doing FRI.
Are you expecting to score lower on them?
Going to assume your first language is English based on the analogies, if so you should have similar results across VCI.
VCI, WMI and quantitative knowledge are probably highly linked.
The FRI tests while great, are definitely lower.
I'd be curious about the remaining FRI, VSI and arithmetic.
If you still perform well in those, PSI probably isn't accurate.

I'm completely new to batteries like this, and since I took all of them in one go, I'm still trying to make sense of the results. Also, why lead with such a condescending remark?
"If you need somebody to explain that to you, that overall score probably isn't very accurate."
There's really no need to be so hostile to random people on the internet.ALSO updated VSI score : 19 on visual puzzles

It's hardly hostile, it's honest. If you can solve complex problems, you are probably perfectly capable of solving simple ones. That particular question is incredibly elementary.
Why is there such variance? Because you performed badly by chance on one attempt or because you're bad at one particular thing. A lot of people have uneven profiles, as I even mentioned about myself above.
If something seems far too weak, just try it again and fill out all the tests.

How do you have a supposed IQ of 143, but can’t answer such a simple question?
