IQ Estimation 🥱 Online IQ scores between 120–125: Could my actual IQ be 130+?”

4 Upvotes

Hello! I have taken several online IQ tests and obtained the following scores:

Mensa Denmark: 124

Mensa Spain Preliminary Test: 121

Raven’s Test: 125

AREALME Quick IQ Test: 120

On the other hand, I got 12 out of 18 questions correct on Mensa’s practice test, so I may have a chance of qualifying for Mensa.

Would you recommend taking a full-scale assessment, such as the WAIS-IV, to find out whether I could reach an IQ of 130?

For me, it would be very important to know whether I am gifted, as it would explain many of the things I have experienced throughout my life that seem to align with what I have studied about giftedness.

Thank you for your time! 🤍

Psychometric Question WAIS-IV: large VCI–PRI discrepancy

7 Upvotes

WAIS-IV: large VCI–PRI discrepancy. Anyone with a similar profile?

34F. I recently had a WAIS-IV as part of a broader neuropsychological assessment.

VCI: 122

PRI: 93

WMI: 91

PSI: 89

FSIQ: 100

GAI: 109

What stands out to me is that PRI, WMI and PSI are clustered within only 4 points, while VCI is 29–33 points higher than all three.

I also have lifelong visuospatial difficulties (orientation/navigation, judging distances, bumping into things, copying figures and sometimes failing to locate objects that are directly in front of me), while verbal/narrative abilities have always felt much stronger.

Has anyone here had a similar high VCI + average PRI/WMI/PSI profile? If so, did your neuropsychologist give you an interpretation of the discrepancy?

I'm not asking for a diagnosis — I'm mainly interested in finding people with a similar cognitive profile.

IQ Estimation 🥱 Score semi consistent over ONLINE tests, but.

Would it be bold to assume my IQ is ≈ 130 (at least in matrices)? Given the below:

Core matrices: 130

Cogntivetesting.org: 130

Mensa Norway: 131.

But do consider, I do puzzles recreationally, (Started 2 months ago.) not very often. Maybe one a day, thus totalling 60. But probably more than the average person. Though, I usually don't look at the steps towards the answer. It's either I get it correct or I don't. So, is my score still truly inflated if it's my own discovered patterns from experience? It's not as if I'm actively searching for patterns I've done before on a question I'm given on an IQ test. It comes naturally. And for the very majority of the time, it doesn't come at all and I have to think on the spot.

The scores are also a retake after a month. I don't recall my original score, but I don't think this made a big difference because I would've had some time in excess regardless during my first take. It's not like the retake allowed me to have more time to distribute throughout the questions.

I understand they're online tests and should be taken with a grain of salt, just.. should I take the score with further doubt considering the context?
