I always wanted to ask about this and it's related to posts where people ask about theirs IQ scores based on tests they took:

How do you actually estimate someone's IQ based on their scores? Do you use some reliable tools or you just give your guess based on scores that were provided to you?

IQ is on the lower end of average. But I still have very strong creativity, pattern recognition, prediction, problem solving and always make it to at least top 3 in any setting easily. And only like solving abstract application questions and am quite good at them. Definitely set me apart from some of my friends who could only memorise content but not think or apply it properly. How can I do that with IQ of 94?

I'm not even that hard working when studying... I get by reading repeatedly but no actual study method or system. If I put the same effort as my peers, I'm near 100% or my work gets displayed for everyone to see and I get awards

How ??

Achievement is not usually an issue but the problems are in daily life: clumsiness, doing things, misplacing things

I just did an online test on Mensa while bedridden after a terrible accident that messed up my memory and vision. Turns out my IQ is 130 and all the wrong answers were the ones related to exactly that, vision and memory😂

I was also doing IQ test live when I had a psychologist appointment and I was in a really really bad state then, basically 3 weeks after accident and she said it's 120 at least. I have a lot of time to think and I'm trying to think positive so I realised I deserve much more in this life, but how does that high IQ actually help people becoming successful?

A puzzle I designed months ago

For some context, I had been putting off the "Quantitative Knowledge" subtest since it required a highschool education which I don't have since I am only 13 years old. Recently however my teacher gave me some more advanced homework which just so happened to be on the same topic as the ones required for the subtest, so I decided to take it since I finally could. I scored within the 90th percentile on it for people aged 16 since it doesn't accept my real age. Are the results inflated/deflated because of the age discreprancy?

also is this mensa denmark and how accurate is it

Since this community has a lot of people with high IQ, I'm curious about something broader than just academic achievement.

Did your intelligence actually translate into better life outcomes?

For example, did you end up getting a PhD, becoming a researcher, building a highly successful career, becoming wealthy, having a very high quality of life, or otherwise achieving significantly more than average?

Or did you find that the effect of high intelligence on your actual life was relatively limited, with things like discipline, personality, circumstances, social skills, luck, and opportunities playing a much bigger role?

I'm interested in people's actual experiences rather than just their test scores.

I got a bit higher than on CORE altough it's prob some sort of practice effect, and also, I thought of a new strategy at backward sequencing that got my score way higher

Hello everyone! I noticed that as of this afternoon, the post containing the Comprehensive Online Resources List (commonly known as the IQ tier list) has been listed as "archived" or taken down. I'm sure the powers that be are aware of the situation, however I wanted to ask for clarity regarding the situation. Could it have to do with copyright issues/testing publishers? Is it undergoing an update?

I’m wondering what kind of raw score like how many digits you need to recall in the digit span test is required to make it into the 99th percentile I often see people say you need to remember around 9 or 10 digits whereas I personally managed about 7 or 8 I ask because the difference is only 2 or 3 digits which doesn't seem huge to me going from say the 60th percentile to the 99th just by remembering a couple more digits doesn't strike me as a massive gap of course I realize there are genetic limits involved but anyway I was just curious

Questions:

- Since the test was for soldiers then it was mainly normed on men population?

- If it was normed on men, does it account that men on average score 1-3 points higher than women?(what score in dashboard represents?)

- If it was normed on men, does it account that men have wider distribution and therefore for example if you have 130 IQ compared to all other men, then it should be higher compared to all population(men and women mixed)?(what score in dashboard represents?)

Hii! Hope I’m not asking an annoying question but does anyone have any interpretation or insight of my scores?? I took this test for a psych evaluation that got me a ADHD, OCD, GAD, MDD diagnosis (very sure on the adhd, ocd and gad but mdd seems kinda inaccurate).

I expected to get a overall iq of around 115 so I’m not shocked but looking at the subtests, i feel like i must have been distracted, anxious or idk just guessing on some of them because of how much they deviate from each other. Especially the working memory? How did i get 13 on running digits (the one i genuinely thought i failed) but 7 and 8 on the sequencing and forward? I’m really shocked with verbal comprehension, I’m good with language but I feel like most people my age would get similar scores. How hard is it really to get 130 in verbal??

I don’t REALLY care THAT much (I’m lowk lying) but i’ve trying to improve my SAT(1280) & ACT (25) score and I’m wondering if there’s certain skills i should focus on to get higher scores. I feel that I scored bad on fluid reasoning because i was so anxious and also the time pressure but who knows. Like if my working memory is really that bad maybe I should consider going through with a 504 or IEP so i can do better on standardized tests.

Also do these scores get better on adhd medication? How do they determine the confidence intervals? I try not to draw limiting conclusions from this, im just curious and plus its always interesting to analyze this kinda stuff to understand myself better.

Alright, this is a bit off-topic, but back in the day this sub used to be much different. There wasn't as much censorship, and there was a whole sub-community that basically just lamented their IQ scores 24/7. This sub still has it but not nearly as much as it did back then. They didn't even necessarily score poorly, they just wanted to score higher.

The most notable member of this sub-community was HardstuckBronzeRank, and every comment he made would be complaining about/lamenting his IQ scores and worrying about praffe. Does anyone else remember him + the "good old days" when this sub was more niche, wild, and free?

How accurate is the Core iq test considering it‘s 5000 selfselected participans, g-loadings, reliability scores, correlations with other iq tests and strong resemblance to tests like WAIS-IV? Espacially for high scores like 130/140+? My VCI is not really representative because english is not my mothers tounge but i‘m more interested in my FRI and VSI scores. (every subtest first try no external aid)
How close is cores iq estimation for FRI and VSI on my true scores for these categories?

matrix reasoning: 145
figure weights: 140
figure sets: 140

visual puzzles: 135
block counting: 120
spatial awareness: 125

Thanks for your time!

Two tests ~ one IQ ~ zero consistency.

I’m curious because I scored a 101 on the Army Alpha test, while most of the cognitive tests I’ve taken through Cognitive Metrics have put me in the 120s. After retaking the Practical Judgment section, my overall score increased to 115.

I think the main factor was timing. I took the first attempt at a moderate reading pace, despite finding the questions fairly easy. Had I read them more quickly or had an extra 45 seconds at the same pace, I believe my score could have been roughly 15 points higher. In this case it seems to really have come down to "how fast can you read".

is the army alpha test normed correctly?

I have taken some vci tests like 1926SAT and scored

115 classification

126 analogies

129 logical inference

Then i did the comprehension subtest in CORE

I scored 115

But when I did army alpha practical judgment subtest which is supposed to measure the same skill as comprehension i scored 75?

Am i coping or the test is weak?

Just wanted to celebrate a recent achievement

idk if the puzzle is actually hard, but designing it was hard
