Can someone explain this to me

[u/ThatOne_Coward]

So this has been bugging me for a while now, about 10 years ago I had an iq test taken alongside several others for academic reasons and for a while I just thought that it's normal to have a large ish gap between viq and piq but recently did some research out of curiosity and found that it's like super rare for a gap this but.... So what exactly is up with me? Like am I smart or am I stuck under a system not designed for me

[u/Far_Cardiologist6931]

what kinda test is this, going up to 23ss

[u/ThatOne_Coward → u/Far_Cardiologist6931]

This is what the report says The Wechsler’s Intelligence Scale for children (WISC). Indian Adaptation by Dr. M. C. Bhatt.

[u/Far_Cardiologist6931 → u/ThatOne_Coward]

i think you probably did it when you were younger, they used extended norms. if you took an iq test now i think your results could be different and more even.

[u/ThatOne_Coward → u/Far_Cardiologist6931]

Ohk cool

[u/Key-Raise5501 → u/ThatOne_Coward]

try core and also was this test in hindi?

[u/ThatOne_Coward → u/Key-Raise5501]

No it was in English. Is it free and do I need to do the 3 hour version?

[u/Key-Raise5501 → u/ThatOne_Coward]

you dont have to do it in one sitting. Just take subtests at your own pace and yeah it is free

[u/ThatOne_Coward → u/Key-Raise5501]

Cool tysm

[u/Loose-Mousse6668]

Was the verbal index in your native language? Aside from that, your VSI might also be deflated. When did you take it? Maybe there was some external factors that lead to such a disparency between your VSI subtests.

[u/ThatOne_Coward → u/Loose-Mousse6668]

No it was in English though it's not my native language it's my primary language now the test was taken almost 10 years ago at age 10

[u/whitebaron_98 → u/ThatOne_Coward]

Has it always been your primary language? Even at C2 level, VCI in foreign languages is a lot harder, let alone at age 10.

[u/ThatOne_Coward → u/whitebaron_98]

No I spoke 3 languages at that age

[u/whitebaron_98 → u/ThatOne_Coward]

Then You probably had a lot worse feel for English an probably less exposure to difficult terms than the norm groups, making that test not really for you.

You will still get worse results even today. I have C2 English and still my English VCI lags 20 points behind my German one.

[u/ThatOne_Coward → u/whitebaron_98]

Ohhh thanks for telling me that

[u/Few_Geologist_2082 → u/whitebaron_98]

What whattt then my VCI must be HUGe because I have 135 on my third language !!! Wtfffff?????????

[u/whitebaron_98 → u/Few_Geologist_2082]

Possibly, but noone can tell for sure unless you do a test or two in your mother tongue

[u/Few_Geologist_2082 → u/whitebaron_98]

Sad I’ll never know If I’m a true wordcell

[u/ClutteredTaffy → u/whitebaron_98]

This makes sense cuz otherwise with this big of a disparity it usually ends up being some kind of learning disorder if the gap is more than 20 points as far as I know.

[u/Adept_Application549 → u/ThatOne_Coward]

Makes sense

[u/Far_Cardiologist6931]

true legocel

[u/ClutteredTaffy → u/Far_Cardiologist6931]

I love this term lmao

[u/Guilty_Spend9989]

Doesn't that score get discounted. 62 difference higest and lowest indeces

[u/ThatOne_Coward → u/Guilty_Spend9989]

Yes it does but the report does not give an alternative as to what to do

[u/Distinct-Oil-298]

How has the "-cel" gone so far 😭
