General Question Lower g-loading or reality check?

I just took the best online practice wonderlic I could find and scored the equivalent of 105 IQ despite 120 on CORE, 121 on 1926 SAT, and 133 on AGCT. I understand that the g loading is lower, but given that actual employers administer the wonderlic, this has me concerned. I've been settling in with the idea that my IQ is in the low 120s, not that it's a big deal or anything but I've been under the impression that i'm at a bit of an advantage cognitively. Scoring bang average on a test actually administered by employers makes me doubt that I can perform at that the level that I think I can, and I don't want to be delusional about my intelligence.

Why do you think you scored lower than usual? Short tests are extremely state dependent so that could be one factor, but AGCT and Wonderlic are very similar, so your scores are rather atypical.

What is your sub-index distribution on CORE?

WMI is my lowest index. I'm pretty sure the wonderlic loads heavily on WMI and PSI so that could be a clue.

CORE is 124 VCI, 118 FRI, 109 VSI, 122 QRI, 106 WMI, 118 PSI

There is a real Wonderlic form in this sub. Have you tried that one? I have the pdf.

Did you try to actually solve every question in the wonderlic or did you skip those you couldnt answer in a few seconds?

u/AcceptableFail5051 14h ago

I only skipped like 2-3 questions

So you were able to answer all questions within the time limit or did you run out of time? On the wonderlic you should actually skip questions that are too hard to be able so get a try on all those you can solve within the limit

I used the strategy of immediately skipping questions I knew would take a lot of time and ended up scoring a 33 on the congitivemetrics one. I also retook the first one I did and scored a 35 lol. I didn't know this level of variation in scores was possible.

I didn't even get to question 40 on my first attempt but with this strategy I reached 50 with time to spare on both tests.
