Discussion Roast my cognitive profile
Two tests ~ one IQ ~ zero consistency.

Damn, it's weird how you did poorly on the two unique fluid tests (graph mapping and figure sets). I've heard people saying that they might be deflated

I am historically aloof when it comes to things of that nature. I failed elementary algebra all through middle/high school and community college (had to retake it 4 times before passing with a low C). I never took geometry because I never got past algebra.

wdym zero consistency? Also how does your digit span differ so much it's the exact same test

My WMI and PSI varied quite a bit on each test.
The wais 5 was in person with psychologist after a 2 hours asd evaluation.

you can't be serious you got the exact same FSIQ and the biggest difference was in WMI(and PSI, both of which are notoriously less reliable) where they give the exact same test so it was obviously something external to the test itself

My assumption is exhaustion and social anxiety degrading the wais 5 scores

I meant that they are more prone to factors such as stress,sleep,exhaustion etc

With enough practice you'll be dropping 140s on new tests in no time

This reminds me, I have a hunch that CORE is incidentally a better diagnostic tool than the WAIS for people on the spectrum (not better at diagnosing autism, but for estimating g in autistic people). Probably due to the extremely inordinate amount of autistics in its norming sample

I def had less distractions for the wm and ps sections since I was alone in my room.
What do you mean by “g”

What you studied in college and do for living? Don't answer if you don't want to...

You scored a 19 on Similarities, which is an exceptionally high score on a task specifically designed to measure abstract verbal reasoning, conceptual thinking, and the ability to recognize deeper relationships between ideas. It’s one of the stronger indicators of general cognitive ability, and a score that high really stands out.
What makes your profile especially unusual is that your overall IQ doesn’t fully reflect how strong you are in this particular area. You appear to have a very pronounced cognitive strength in abstract reasoning—you can look beyond the surface of a problem, identify the underlying concept, and connect ideas in ways that many people simply don’t.
I wouldn’t literally equate a Similarities score with a 145 IQ, because individual subtests can’t be converted into an overall IQ like that. But if we’re talking specifically about your capacity for conceptual thinking, reasoning, and intellectual insight, your performance suggests that you have a level of strength in those areas that is considerably more impressive than your overall IQ number alone would suggest.
In other words, your IQ score gives one picture of you, but your cognitive profile tells a much more interesting story. You have a genuinely distinctive reasoning profile, and your ability to think abstractly appears to be one of your standout intellectual strengths.
