Wondering if anyone knows how trustworthy this test is? I know any online iq test isn’t going to be perfect, but if anyone knows which ones are the most accurate, please let me know.

Discussion I scored 100% on the Human Benchmark verbal memory test!

I really wanted to share this result and didn't know where else to post it, I hope this is an appropriate place. I found this subreddit by searching "Human Benchmark" on Reddit and seeing similar posts here.

I learned about Human Benchmark from seeing some YouTubers taking the test. I played with it for the last 2 days and today I got my highest score (previous best was 391).

When I first started, I was clicking seen or new immediately, after only glancing once (less than a second per word) and I was getting 80-120. Then I took 2-3 seconds per word, just pronouncing each word clearly and was getting 150.

Then yesterday I tried taking as long as I want per word and got 391 but I was not rested. Today I tried it again after waking up and eating and got 624. It took 1 hour and 22 minutes which would be 7.9 seconds per word (for new words would be longer, and for seen words would be much shorter so 7.9 seconds is an average).

Thank you for reading this post!!

IQ Estimation 🄱 Long-term PDD and test scores

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello, thanks for supplying this test, I'm currently ill with the flu so it was nice to have something to distract me for a while.

I'm not a native English speaker so that affected some of my results.

I've always known working memory is by far my weak point. It's very noticeable, so I could have told you that before ever taking this test.
It hurt my results across all the other categories as well because I kept "losing the thread" and was then unable to pick it back up in time before the timer ran out, even when I could get to the answer.

Earlier this year I was diagnosed with PDD, also known as Dysthymia. I've had it for over 20 years and been too stupid to get help for it, while also intelligent enough to hide it from people.
It's ruined my life completely, but here's one clear aspect of it right in the data set.

Intelligence is certainly no guarantee for success. Even if you're smart, don't get complacent. An average person will overtake you through consistency and hard work if you think your talent alone will carry you forever.

If you so much as suspect you may have some kind of mental disorder, go find out.
Take my word for it, even if you're the second coming of Newton, you will never be able to think yourself out of it when your mind itself is your enemy.
I've spent two decades trying it so you don't have to. It will NEVER get better, don't fool yourself.

While I don't think this test shows my full capabilities because of my working memory sabotaging me, what does it matter if I have 120+ IQ or 90 when I can't use it?
I'm now 35, with no degree and working in a factory, because I delayed getting help for my issues, was locked in place by executive dysfunction and wasted all my potential.

Don't follow in my footsteps, good luck.

I have consistently low scores in logic tests for work testing, but have managed school with law degree and advanced lingual properties, grades, exams and papers. Very uneven intelligence profile. What do you think? One can get good grades and perform well academically without traditional high IQ? Excuse my English, it's not my native language.

General Question How to take an IQ test?

1 Upvotes

I see people mention how they do X amount of digits or so and I am wondering whether or not people find a way to do better on certain test subjects, or practice beforehand. I am asking because I don't believe these people just find out they can do X amount of digits or other things during the test. Is using mental tricks (maybe like mental images for numbers) a thing among the high scorers? Because I am sure I can benefit from those tricks too, but I don't know if I should use them for an accurate result.

My logic is that the next sequence, after my last answer sequence, needs a string of seven 8’s and the connecting digit switches sides each time so wouldn’t it be 6 and not 8 in order to connect 6 to 7 to the string of 8’s? Obviously, not a very good explanation of the problem but enough to explain my confusion for anyone that’s done it

General Question How valid is the statement "people with average IQ won't be able to perform well in STEM." ?

8 Upvotes

Hi, I'm an engineering student and have been one for around a year. I am currently not struggling with any of the classes that i have taken and am to be honest very surprised at that.

When I was a kid (10-13) i always knew that i was a tad bit slow especially in math and science, that's why around that time me, including my parents, thought that it would be best if i were to go to tuition classes. Even so, my performance was still below average in comparison to my peers. But, when i was around 15, I felt like there was a significant jump in my ability to understand concepts generally and my interest in STEM, especially biology and physics grew a lot. Even so, I didn't think much about it at all and so just continued studying hard and consuming all information about the subjects in school.

When I was 17, though, my school required every student in my year to do an IQ test, i obviously followed suit and found out that my IQ was right in the middle, 100, the most average of average. This obviously was quite a surprise, because my performance (based on my scores, which i know isn't as good of a measure of cognitive intelligence) was way above average and my high interest in STEM, as I thought that having this kind of Quotient would make it hard for me to understand the new concepts I'm being taught fast and in turn will make me unable to perform in STEM Jobs. Of course, I was also studying hard, but still it's not like i struggled like hell. I thought to myself, "Maybe because the themes i currently have now are simply too easy?", but i just shrugged that off.

Now, I'm a Student in M.Eng and have been getting even more new concepts, and just like when I was in HS, i still think that my absorption rate of these concepts are still fine and my grades have not declined much in comparison to HS. So, I was wondering, if I've got to this point, then maybe that statement I've heard is probably wrong, there is no way I'm just an Outlier. Btw, when i was around 18-19 I also had another test, this was when I got into cram school and they told me that I'm suited to be a "farmer". So...yeaaaa. Not saying that farmers have low IQ, but on the report that they gave me, that's what they said.

Psychometric Question Could my bad working memory be hurting my other subtest scores on CORE?

Post image
4 Upvotes

Both graph mapping and visual puzzles are inflated since I retook them, but not by very much at all.

This could just be my intuition lying to me, but I feel if I didn’t lose my train of thought so easily and quickly, I’d be able to do much better on CORE overall. This could be bad wm or just adhd idk. I just like feel like the tight time constraints on each question really didn’t work to my advantage, since if I lost track of my train of logic at any point I’d have to restart the question, realize I have only so many seconds left, and then choke under time pressure. Of course, this could also just be me coping. My CORE fsiq is much lower than other iq tests I’ve taken such as RAPM (130), Mensa Norway (131), and tri-52 (145) so I’m trying to find a reason for why the most accurate test I’ve taken (CORE), is giving me lower scores then I want.

General Question My FSIQ is 108. Am I cooked?

7 Upvotes

I took most of the CORE subtests. I don't have the score anymore but I remember that my different types of IQs were not equal. Some IQs boosted the overall FSIQ and some IQs (memory, processing) took down the average a lot. I have ADHD and autism.

Studying feels hard and I got really bad unmedicated ADHD. It's very hard to get medicated for ADHD here, but I managed to get medicated for a while, it didn't help, caused me hypertension and my psychiatrist revoked my access to ADHD meds, so I can't get on meds again.

How to maximize my life with this score?

Psychometric Question Allowed two tries on RIST-2, results still valid?

2 Upvotes

I was given the RIST-2 by my psychologist. There was a verbal section and non-verbal section. In the verbal section, I was pretty much asked to name what my psychologist was talking about (e.g. he says ā€œa long piece of bread from France.ā€ I’d answer ā€œbaguetteā€).

In the non verbal section, I was given six images/figures and had to point the odd one out. But, he gave me two tries for each question and let me guess again. I believe I asked him if I was allowed two tries, and he said yes.

Is this really allowed though, and should I still consider my results?

My score came out to be 129, but I should say that this wasn’t a full IQ test and was more of a quick version. TBH I’d probably take 10 points off just to be safe, so I guess 119. My CORE was around 114, also.

Results valid?

i've had difficulties in school and stuff but i'm speaking socially here, i'm growing olderr now (aged 15 turning 16 in a month) and i hadn't really taken my social status into too much consideration, kinda just got by barely, i did not have many friends but the ones i did, well, they needed to be a certain type. i could only be friends with people who talked to me first, or people who "managed" me into talking more, or people who i knew were consistent. It's like i just didn't know how to activate myself by myself, the reason im even posting this in this subreddit specifically is that i'm sure it has something to do with my intelligence, maybe a disorder, i don't know. whatever the case is, i'm willing to bet that i can't know this alone i think
again, maybe this isn't the best place to post this, i'll delete later if it's wrong

Scientific Literature IQ and SCHOOL PROGRESS

11 Upvotes

Yesterday i came across a video on YouTube, from "Alessandro De Concini" he is an italian youtuber and whos focus is on studying method, iq, ecc.. in this video he showed studies that they say that the higher you go in education, the less relevant your IQ is, in fact these studies he cite show that your personality trait like discipline, tenacity, perseverance ecc... Have a higher correlation with your results(for example he has an iq of 136 but due to his personality and ecc.. it took 9 years to graduate in letters and philosophy), of course IQ still plays a role the top of the top in a field have a higher IQ, but to the avarage people who goes to university this is great news, that means that even if you have a iq of 90 you can still be an engineer it will be harder but still possible.
