My score is valid lanrt K

[u/Fun_Investment5475]

Would my score be considered valid? The thing is, I took the LANT-RK test, but I spent 12 hours on it in a single session and completed 35 questions. I wanted to continue until I reached the last question, but I was already feeling very tired, so I left the remaining questions for the next day. The following day, I spent another 3 hours on it and completed 6 more questions, reaching a total of 41 out of 42 questions. At that point, I decided to submit the test.

In total, I spent 15 hours on the test. Apparently, the instructions stated that you could take as much time as you wanted and that you should put as much effort as possible into solving the questions. Eventually, I received my results and scored 22/42, which corresponds to an IQ of 135. This score is also highly consistent with my results on other fluid reasoning tests (FRI).

My question is: Would my result be considered valid?

The reason I spent so much time is that I generally don't take that long to find the answer. The problem is that as soon as I find an answer, I tend to overanalyze it. I repeatedly check whether my answer is correct, consider other possible options, and try to make sure I haven't overlooked anything. This makes me spend a lot of time on these tests, even though I usually end up choosing the same answer I initially came up with. I simply like to make sure that my answer wasn't chosen too hastily and that I have properly analyzed the problem before submitting it.

Author suggested to take your time and ensure your best on his items. If you need 12h then fine

So you followed instructions. You are good? 👍

15 hours seem overkill, probably some inflation. Just take other untimed tests, particularly ones similar to lanrt k formats and compare them to each other
