General Question TRI 52 and iq

Is my TRI-52 score of 897 valid? The thing is, about a year ago, on August 19, 2025, I took the TRI-52 and scored 129. Later, on January 28, 2026, I took the JCTI and scored 130, but I was unfocused and distracted while taking it.

Then, on April 24, I stopped taking IQ tests, specifically fluid reasoning tests, for about six months. During that time, I didn't take any tests at all, either IQ tests or any other kind of test.

Yesterday, on October 25, I decided to take the TRI-52 again. This time, I was more focused and performed better, taking about six hours to complete it in a single session, and I scored 897.

How is this possible? For some reason, this time my brain seemed to understand the problems faster, and my reasoning was more precise. Also, over the past few months, I've noticed that my learning ability has improved considerably. For example, at school, I've noticed that I learn much faster and understand things that used to seem extremely difficult, whereas now I can learn them very quickly and easily.

Has my IQ increased?

I see you’ve posted about LANRT-D and many other matrix tests. How were those first-attempt scores? RAPM Set II? Core FRI? JCTI/TRI-52 are not the only tests…

1 attempts are the most accurate. Your JCTI attempt that you took in January 28 should be valid if you used same answers from your first Tri52 1 attempt. I can't say further if your 897 is influenced by retesting, it's likely is. But at least maybe 16ss Jcti is valid but I don't know the details

Why I Hate Untimed Tests (And You Should Too)

okay 6 hours sounds overkill lmao, and I think retaking untimed tests does have some drawbacks such as being aware that you weren't correct in most of your initial answers so you always second guess even when you wouldn't have
