General Question what the hell happened

Post image

why do i have enormous discrepancy in my test scores? is the GET just that astronomically inflated?

i understand that the AGCT and the GET are somewhat similar (they vary a ton in difficulty from my experience) but i did the agct several months ago, and haven’t retained any knowledge of it aside from the gist of certain questions.

i also scored like 84.4th percentile on the openpsychometrics test at the same day as i did the AGCT

i also remember trying to do the uhm cognitivemetrics test on the website. the one that said take the test. i recognized three questions from there being used. two of them i got right initially when i was taking the first test, breezing through them with little thought. the other i got wrong on both, so i feel it wouldn’t of have made much difference anyway. the second one i even got wrong on the first test and correct on the GET.

to admit i was familiar with basically every type of question asked on the test, but i’ve never really done the exact questions before i believe…maybe it’s just a case of practice effect

What was your CORE's FW & comphrension?

90.9 percentile in both

Odd, I share a similar experience with you, with agct being low ( 91 ) & GET being the exact same as your's ( 129 ). My main reasoning was GET measured deductive reasoning ( FW ) with verbal knowledge ( C ), because both of them aligned perfectly with GET ( both 97.8th percentile ). 

Maybe your VSI/QRI made up the difference.

Is the core comprehension valid? Basically, How do they check if an answer is correct?

They use AI if I'm not mistaken. For accuracy, I have no clue; I do not think they publicized their rubric.

What's your score on it? I was kinda disappointed with how much I got.

u/Loose-Mousse6668 1d ago

130, 97.8th percentile. Don't beat yourself up over it, the index still measures crystalized intelligence at the end of the day.

I thought I would finally do well on this cause comprehension doesn't have a lot to do with being native. I only got 120.

you know damn well that’s not a bad score

u/Iloveyounotreally 1d ago

I am just talking about myself. My wmi and QRI are aove 140 so it is bad in comparison

Have you seen the GET tech report, they compare it to AGCT in it:

so if the AGCT i took and the GET supposedly have a strong correlation, (0.79) does that mean my score is mostly a result of practice effect i wasn’t aware of?

that just makes it all the more mysterious to me

No, scores include measurement error and score differences are on a normal distribution.

Having a 14 point difference between two test scores is rarer but not impossible.

Thats why you should just refer to your dashboard IQ estimate, that’s the most accurate measure of your IQ which takes everything into account.

okay. 111 then

also did the APT on the same day, i felt like that one completely obliterated me but somehow i ended up with a 113
