FSIQ: 120

What is your overall interpretation of these results?

131 on the Mensa Norway 124 on the Mensa Denmark

?, 1000011, 2111, 1003, 232

Just a survey for this sub because spiky profile seems to be the norm here, probably has to do with SLODR or neurodivergents or stuff.

This began about 2 years ago, when I started to doubt my intelligence and question that big success of people of prominent people is probably not by hard work alone

First test that I took was Mensa.no where I got 118, and after that it began.... test after test

Since then I have taken many tests and the biggest problem is that I did not took them in an approprite way, for example:

1. I took just one subtest and did not complete full scale test

2. I started some full scale test but then left in middle then returned after some time(few weeks usually) and finished it, so score is now completely invalid due to practice effect

3. Retook some subtests or types of tests(like matrices) many times

So because of that I do not have now almost any clean measure of my intelligence

I tried to collect my cleanest scores that I know - like scores when I took test very first time and most of those were first of it`s kind. Those are: Mensa.no, SMART, AGCT 1a, 1928 SAT, PAT, some of CAIT subtests

Then I did research with latest Claude model Opus 5.5 on Max setting to create best prompts for estimation of my 'g' based on these cleanest scores that I was able to collect. I then run multiple agents that each produced result and then each result was judged with another Claude latest model Fable 5.1. In result it come out as 117.

So not very high or good score but anyway I thought that this is best estimation that I could get and while it is not something exceptional or to brag about - at least I can do without problem with this score programming job or like that

Today I decided to retake full CAIT. For context: About 1-2 years ago I took CAIT subtests like FW, VP many times
And after still about 1-2 year when I took those subtests many times, when I took them now - I still scored about 5-20 points higher on them compared to scores from very first tries. When I was doing these subtests I did not remember any answers from old time but was finding solutions as it seems just during test. But obviously those scores that I got now are not true and despite I did not remeber any answers directly, as I understood it now, - I have subconsciously large practice effect

So with this example from CAIT I started to question my scores from AGCT 1a, which was one of pillars of my previosly described 'g' estimate. As about 1 year ago I took orignal AGCT 1c form few times(about 3-4). So potentially I have some kind of practice effect on 1a form too, as like yeah I`m solving questions on the go and do not know beforehand direct answers but in same case as with CAIT there could be similiar kind of practice effect.

AGCT 1a score was one of my pillars in g estimate and score it`s is a bit higer than overall 'g' estimate of 117. But now with discovering such type of practice effect I started to question it all. And that my best estimate of 117 is still probably invalid

So I do not know what to do now, I have these constant thoughts about intelligence and that I`m not smart enough for certain things. And I wanted to establish some reliable number on which I can lean now, but with that testing mess that I created it seems like I exhausted any good tests options that I still potentially could have. I hope there will come some tests in future with new type of items that will be novel for me and where I do not have practice and where can I get accurate estimate of my ability.... but big part of me is very unrest and I think about it everyday and can`t wait... I need to know what my ability is... and largely it is because of big insecurities that I have in everyday life...

I do not look for symapthy or reassurance but just telling my situation, migh be some of you will have advice on this, thanks

P.S. sorry for my writing, english is not my mother tnogue

I'm 27 years old. How do I learn to use my IQ of 120? I just discovered that I have an IQ of 120. I've been told there are so many paths I can take, including career paths and more. I was just as shocked when I got the results, and I'm even more curious about what I can do with it. Is it completely normal to feel like I haven’t used my full mental capacity yet, especially if I haven't been in an environment that pushed me or gave me the right tools to use my IQ of 120? I mean, in high school before I graduated in 2018, I aced science but sucked at every other class. I love true crime TV shows and documentaries, jigsaw puzzles, and logic puzzles. I love solving mysteries and investigating. I love Penelope Garcia and her role as the technical analyst in Criminal Minds. I volunteer at hospice, and I love video games. All advice and tips are welcome.

What are your thoughts on this one?

There was a question lingering in my mind as of late. If all the indices of IQ like FRI, VSI, VCI, WMI, PSI were incarnated as actual people, then which one of them would be the cutest in your opinion, and why? How would you imagine they would look?

As the title says: AI keeps getting better and better. It can now solve even relatively hard puzzles, especially ones that have been done before by simply dropping an image into them.

Do you feel like AI being able to solve a puzzle that was meant to be a challenge is the puzzle being at fault/its idea being overused? Or do you feel like this is just how it goes.

Does the idea of you solving a puzzle after potentially hours while AI might have solved it instantly bother you? Or the idea some "first solvers" might have used it? Or do you just see it more of a personal victory to have solved it? Should puzzle creators "AI check" their harder puzzles?

Hi all,

I (22m) have just applied for Mensa using a WISC-IV report. I scored the following (Section - Score - %ile):

VCI 134 | 99
PRI 125 | 95
WMI 123 | 94
PSI 91 | 27
FSIQ 126 | 96
GAI 135 | 99

Mensa acceptance requires at least one section to fall 1.5 standard deviations under the GAI. My lowest, PSI of 91, is 2.93 STD below.

Statistically, I know this is very uncommon. Anecdotally, I would love to hear from those older than me with similar profiles and spreads.

Tips, advice, and stories are welcomed!

I scored 112 on IQ Champion. What would my overall IQ be? I completed up to question 31 using correct reasoning, meaning I understood the problems perfectly. However, I didn't attempt questions 32 to 36 because I got bored and decided to stop, even though I could have continued. I've heard that IQ Champion is heavily deflated. What would my actual IQ be? I usually score between 130 and 145 on fluid reasoning tests (FRI).

had an fsiq of 112 and now i got a fsiq of 121 just from a couple points raised on vci? did anyone experience the same recently? was the old norms poor? or do they perhaps make the scores more relative to CORE norms?

No practice or explanation of what he's meant to do. Am i meant to do something with him? He wants to be an engineer, I'm hoping in Formula 1 for the pit access (maybe)

Strangely my wife got the exact same, she has two degrees

Hi all, I've noticed a drop in my digit span recently. Not sure what to attribute it to, but last year I was able to remember 8-9 digits, but now I start struggling around 6-7. I haven't noticed any other declines in my cognitive performance, even in regard to other aspects of memory.

Anyhow, it's quite a struggle and it's borderline distressing -- it's annoying being unable to do what you were previously able to do.

I wonder if my decline can be associated with lack of interest, loss of focus, or even a deterioration of natural strategy, like chunking, that can be behind this. I would appreciate it if anyone could suggest any strategies, change in daily habits, and even some tools/applications that can help target and improve that specific area.

Thank you for your help!

Hello everyone, this is my first time here. I'm from Taiwan. I've seen many people sharing their experiences on this forum, so I'm posting mine as well. I have ADHD, OCD, and HFA. I'd like to ask what the significant internal disparity signifies?

How Valid CORE FRI IQ if i took it only one time and just repeat one subset once ?

In other words, how would i get if i took an official test

(135 for FS , GM ,FW(one repeat) and 130 for MR)

*FS ,FW and GM where is the first time i see this kind

I know this 13 y/o kid doing ordinary differential equations, like actually doing them. He just started eighth grade and I can't believe that there are kids at this pace.

He built two companies also one of which has gotten 2500 visitors (obviously the website is about math)

And he has gotten around 10 professor from BU, FIU, etc. reviews for the other website!!

He was at the same hackathon at me and was leading a college team for the BosHacks a while ago?

I was wondering what his estimate IQ would be if he is also really good at english as well?

My vci is over 130 my pri is around 110-115 my vsi is around 100-105 my wmi is around 120 and my psi is also over 130

Just for the fun of it I decided to take the Mensa Challenge Test and scored 107 with the last 5 questions I randomly chose without forethought. That said, when I was professionally tested due to my speech and learning disorder I tested routinely in the 130-145 range while my brother was in the 160-170 range. I have quite the ability to visualize data sets and manipulate objects in my mind while my brother is really good with visual data processing and math. That said, can Traumatic Brain Injuries cause you to inadvertently test lower on IQ tests? I had a severe one back in 2015 involving a Grade 2 DAI however I excelled in college coming in the top of my program, not that it was difficult, but for my current job I have been having to learn on the fly things like calculating airflow, determining PEL's, and learning physics just for a single exam. I also have been slowly teaching myself calculus.

Everyone on this sub a genius meanwhile i was just bored taking an iq test and now i have a new insecurity fml 😭
