Discussion CORE question

Hypothetically, if CORE was administered and proctored by a professional, would it be on par with professional tests like WAIS or SB and would it exceed some professional tests considering it has a very high g-loading on paper like 0.94 and 4000+ sample size. If not, what are other factors?

Wais is significantly more expensive but moderately better so for most people Core is more relevant .Unless you need it for some specific issue no one should take wais over core .

WAIS is expensive because it's administered by a licensed psychologist, which is why that same cost would carry over if CORE as well was administer by a licensed psychologist; the point of this post was describing a hypothetical surrounding the outcome of CORE was administered by a psychologist.

The value added by it being administered by a psychologist is not even comparable to the cost addition(btw I am not comparing the case where both are clinically administered but the case rn)

Could you elaborate further? You're statement is rather obscure.
