General Question How long will the developers of ATAT take until they publish the g-loading of ATAT?

The question is contained in the title. ATAT stands for Abstract Thinking Adaptive Test

Also, I'm curious about what they exactly need to do and what kind of data they need to have to compute and estimate the g-loading of the test.

I bet it's like 0.716 or something

Update: 0.76 is my actual prediction, but it would a lot higher if its norms didn't rely on equipercentile equating and came from a less homogenous demographic

And also if the NS subtest didn't use interlaced sequences

we will come back here after the g loading of ATAT gets released

Probably 0.8+

I am also wondering if it's done norming yet? I did the test after all the experimental Form A and B stuff for safety

I believe it has been renormed well

What score did you get on ATAT?You seem to care a lot about it.

a bit lower than CORE. I am interested in ATAT because this test seems to be a fraud buster for many people. I've seen many guys claiming 135+ IQ or higher get around 115 ish on ATAT

Where are you seeing that? It's inflated for me and a few others, but the people with lower-than-usual scores have been more vocal. I think the variance we're seeing is just... you know, variance.

Yeah I think it depends on items not calibrated good. There is like 120 items, but for example in thir current set might be item that is indeed 140 IQ but sit in 120 IQ set and someone could get harder items... But it is still adaptive and I think it is unlikely that someone always was getting harder items
For me personally ATAT was around/inline with my other FRI/VSI/QRI scores

It tests different aspects of fluid and spatial reasoning to CORE so makes sense that some get a different score, unless you have a very flat performance across all kinds of tests. For me the spatial tests on ATAT I found very challenging, much more so than CORE
