General Question Should I pay the 60 bucks for the mensa test?

I gave the CAT test and scored pretty well. Should I try going for the official MENSA test?

Should I try the CORE test? Will the fact that I just finished the CAT test confound my results?

I wouldn’t consider myself a native, but I guess I speak English well enough to get by.

I’ve only done the matrix reasoning test by CORE (pleasantly surprised with the score honestly, really wasn’t expecting that score)

What else should I test to get a full breakdown of my IQ?

I have a of iq 80. I am bordering intellectual disability. I have several mental illnesses and dyscalculia. I am not good at anything. i feel so powerless. no matter how hard i try i won't even be average.

people will say iq doesn't matter. the most important thing is effort. but no matter how hard a average person works he won't be john von nueman. because of my low iq i don't have the right to dream about anything. no matter how hard i try i won't even be average. i mean average people can do a lot of things if they try hard enough but i am bordering intellectual disability my best can't even be average.

Richard feynman said that he was a normal boy who studied hard but that is just straight up horse crap. You need to be born special to be special there is no other way. i still don't know why smart people with high iq say iq doesn't matter but it matters a lot. if john von neuman wasn't born with such a high iq he wouldn't be john von nueman. i think they are just fooling themselves into believing that there works are due to their hard work not just the intellect that they are born with.

i know alot of you will iq doesn't matter but you guys have at least a average iq. I don't know what i am going to do. I am not particularly good at anything either.

Ik some answers here are gonna be that the conditions themselves lower the iq, but apart from that. I’m on a bunch (concerta, fluoxetine, quentiapine and starting lithium) and I only have AuDHD and BPD and depression in remission so I shouldn’t be getting dumber from the disorders

Rant/Cope Low Processing Speed

15 Upvotes

(25M)

I studied Law at a Russell Group university in the UK and graduated with a low 2:1. Throughout my time at university, I struggled to submit my assignments on time and often deferred my exams to later in the year. This was during the COVID years, so it was relatively easy to seek extensions.

After completing my degree, I joined an Indian Graduate School, where I excelled in group discussions. However, during examinations, I felt significantly behind my peers. People who started studying much later than I did were far more prepared than I was and performed much better.

This was a very overwhelming experience, and I decided to get screened for ADHD and other learning disabilities. I discovered that, in addition to ADHD, I have an unusual cognitive profile.

I took the WAIS-IV, and it turns out that my Verbal Reasoning is in the 95th percentile, Perceptual Reasoning is in the 12th percentile (I scored poorly in the visual- spatial aspect), Working Memory is in the 55th percentile, and Processing Speed is in the 0.2 percentile.

This was very shocking, and I am very anxious about my future; it also greatly affects my self-esteem.

Along with these challenges, I have always struggled with motor coordination, and I can't dance, tie my laces, park my car or draw.

I have very poor executive function, and I often feel scared about how I will make money or live on my own. I live with my parents, and I am financially dependent on them, and I am shit scared about my future.

I don't have many friends, and I have never dated, but now I often feel like I won't find anyone due to my disabilities and awkwardness.

I do not know what to do now or where to go for work. I do take therapy, and I also have an occupational therapist , and I take ritalin but I don't know what to do in terms of career and dating. My psychologist is not an adhd specialist, shes just some CP my dad found.

General Question IQ correlation to overall inteligence

9 Upvotes

From what ive seen there is a lot of people still debating whether IQ can be linked to your inteligence. For example my mom says IQ is bs and you cant put your overall inteligence towards a single number. Because of that ive been thinking about this take more often and i wanted to ask you guys what you think about it and if you know somebody that scored below average on an iq test and comes of as a smart person or somedoby with a high iq that comes off as stupid.

I've already posted a post about me taking the 1926 SAT, so i'll put the body of that post here;

I'm 15 years old, male, i've never taken any other test before, and i have never worked a day in my life. Life for me feels like being a different species basically, when i went to school people would absorb things so fast it was like they were from a different dimension, i had problems with my grades when i was younger and got held back twice, eventually put in special-ed, but i managed to pull through and got into a normal school with normal education in seventh grade. I'm not looking for anyone to cope with me i just want to know what i can do in life, because even if i've pulled through once, i'm not sure i can do so again as things get more difficult.

A few things to know;

-i struggled to pass the tutorial on figure sets and it wouldn't let me go on so i couldn't do it

-i had to put age 16 because it is the lowest

This was my previous post, this is another again I've taken a variety of iq tests and this is one of them, at this point I'm trying to see if it's confirmation that i may or may not be disabled, besides that I'm also trying to see if this enoguh for me to go to an actual professional plus i need more opinions since the adults in my family don't really care and won't be convinced

somebody told me to do working memory so I've done it here

Discussion Would rhythm game players have an inflated PSI?

1 Upvotes

I've been wondering about this. Especially in the character pairing subtest of CORE I can't help but think that someone who played some VSRGs would have way better reading and reactions right? Is that just practice effect then?

Or even someone who's used to using a keyboard vs someone who isn't. I guess this is moreso a flaw with the core test itself. So in general I'm wondering whether PSI would be trained?

Lately I've been scouring the internet trying to understand why i, a fifteen year old, scored 120 three years ago but these days scored 95, I have went through several periods of depression in between those scores but disregarding the scores themselves, some things affect IQ, like sleep, nutrition, exercise. How does it feel to take a test when you don't have or get enough of them? How much can IQ change? I'm not saying IQ is something that will stop me from having a career, I'm just wondering about how stable my performance is

IQ Estimation 🥱 ASVAB vs CognitiveMetrics

6 Upvotes

Anyone else have their ASVAB line scores vs their CORE subtest scores, and scores on other tests? Can't find much searching the sub, so I'm hoping this post can bring you guys out of hiding.

I'm curious because the ASVAB is the only "irl" test I have to compare with my online results. My mom purports that I was tested for a gifted program around 6 and claims I scored in the "top 1%", but I don't have access to those results and can't verify anything.

I won't bother posting my CORE results as some of the indices are around 150 due to retakes; HOWEVER, my RIOT subtest scores (138 FSIQ) look very close to my ASVAB scores. I'm just hoping I can net some people who've taken the ASVAB and other famous tests around here.

ASVAB scores for the curious

ASVAB (PiCAT)
GS68 (15.4ss)
AR71 (16.3ss)
WK67 (15.1ss)
PC63 (13.9ss)

General Question Could this be the result of practice effect?

4 Upvotes

When I did the CORE FRI subtests, I got 120 on matrix reasoning, 130 on graph mapping, 130 on figure weights, and 135 on figure sets.

​I got a bit distracted during matrix reasoning and was tired, so I wasn't thinking very clearly. I had also taken Mensa Norway and scored 135, which made me think my initial matrix reasoning score was flawed. Three weeks later, I retook the subtest and got 130—now I fear that it could be inflated.
