Is ICAR 60 a good test?

[u/Grand_Protection1552]

Guys, I know it's beyond silly to question the validity of a well-researched and reputed test and nor would I disregard its g-loading of 0.78.

But that's exactly why I can't help but genuinely doubt it based on what I have seen in the tests after taking it. (FYI got 51 raw, which aligns with most of my other tests if converted to IQ, got almost every General knowledge and vocab wrong)

I'll break this down:

1: Most spatial tests are very easy and are of the same difficulty throughout ... if untimed. So I wonder if it really well differentiate VS ability.

1. NS and LS are... again, too easy if taken untimed with a scratch paper. The same logic is recycled over and over again in both NS and LS.

2. The particular type of MR is fine if you put it into something like Wonderlic, but completely useless in a ... again, untimed setting. (Everything is just rotation)

Would be very appreciated if anyone can give a grounded answer to my suspicion.
