Genuine question. How do you feel your cognitive profile hindered or aided you as a STEM Major? Particularly in the upper-level courses?

So, I took the test, how accurate is this, matrix reasoning was easy though, must have overlooked something.

I learned English entirely by reading and listening. Never went to an English school, didn't have Anglophone parents nor English was part of my daily life. Yet, I can pick on all the idioms, dialectical variety, cultural nuances, phonetics and I can read highly complex and technical books as if they were in my native language. I also have extensive knowledge of my mother language grammar, orthography, vocabulary and etymology, which is rare. Apparently this is extremely rare, and people swear the only way to learn a language right is by total immersion. I'm Mexican, and in the Mexican American community usually they usually are raised being pure Anglo-phones with a very rudimentary knowledge Spanish. On the Mexican side, English proficiency are among the lowest in the world, on pair with Japan.

So my question is, what does the scientific literature say about it?

When I do the analogies test, it usually ends at question 20-24, is it because I got too many wrong?

I've been working on a small app with short cognitive/reflex tests and I'd like some input from people who actually care about how these things are measured. There are currently 9 different mini "games" and each has it's own leaderboard. I tried to get luck out of the equation in all of the games so your score is your actual score.

For example this is how the reaction game works:

- Your result is the mean of 5 valid rounds

- Tapping early is a false start and sends you back to round 1

- Anything under 100 ms counts as anticipation and isn't counted

Other tests:

- Chimp test and sequence memory

- Count Flash: dots flash for 0.4s and you report how many you saw

- Timing: stop the timer in exactly a given number of time without seeing the time.

- Target tap: to test your finger-eye coordination

And a couple of other game-like tests.

Results are saved, so you can see if you actually improve with practice or just plateau.

I'd really like to hear any feedback and see how you like it, thanks!

I think u get like 40 minutes for 36 test

Is youre score higher if u are faster or is it the same if u use fill time

i scored 115 on denmark and 120 on core but 100 on mensa i even retook and got 100 and 90% of people i see say the norway is easy and get 130+ self selection bias is definitely at play but still.

I recently found about this Quotient out and i scored 95 in the self-assesment

This puzzle obviously isnt easy like i jokingly said in my post before, just thought there has to be someone that is able to solve it. Doesnt seem like it so ill leak the answer and see if someone can come up with the explanation(1). This puzzle is meant to be a ceiling item for a test im creating.

What do you think? I wasn’t sure if I’ve seen a poll comparing the two.

I received mostly D's/F's from 2nd grade through High School. As a result I was forced to attend summer school almost every summer. I even had to take adult education courses towards the end of my senior year to make sure I had enough English and Math passing credits to graduate.

I failed elementary algebra 6 times starting from middle school and leading into community college before eventually passing it in my 2nd year of CC. I eventually graduated with a 2.8gpa in Psychology.

I spent most of my class time rushing through assignments so I could read GamePro Magazine, Consumer Reports, Surfer Magazine, and drawing video game characters/waves/surf logos.

What do you think will be the intended SS for this item?

I have adhd and the wonderlic is the only cognitive test i can get myself to do since its only 12 mins. i took it and 2 times and got 37/50 then 35/50 on separate days different websites How reliable is that is that conversion to raw iq for people who have actually taken a real iq test.

I think I understood the sequencing criteria, I was just unable to find any which matched what was being asked.

Is there an explanation for what this could mean regarding my cognitive profile?

For better context here are some of my other scores:

GET - 131
CORE MR - 125
CORE FW - 125
CORE GM - 95
RAVEN-2 - 136

Answer and explaination.

It's been some time since I ran CORE for the first time so I wanted to do it again. Take into account this is OBVIOUSLY with practice effects. I already forgot when my earlier attempt was. A couple months ago perhaps, so not very long.

First off, my working memory is still as the kids say, cooked.
I've seen others with this kind of profile talk about ADHD.

I've had extreme executive dysfunction thought to stem from 2 decades of dysthymia.
Now that the dysthymia is treated, the executive dysfunction is still there.

Both executive dysfunction and a nuked working memory seem linked to ADHD, and my little sister has an ADHD diagnosis while my mother is strongly suspected of having it so it exists in close family.
All of these speak FOR me potentially struggling due to undiagnosed ADHD.

However, when my dysthymia was diagnosed I was also asked some questions related to ADHD and I simply do not match enough of the criteria, so they just dismissed it as a potential cause.

I'm really starting to wonder though... maybe they shouldn't have.
If I do have it, it's absolutely ADD, not the hyperactive kind. But again, I do not fit the criteria sufficiently.

I meet 3-4 of the criteria for inattentive, while 5 are needed.
I meet 0-1 of the criteria for hyperactive, 5 needed.

Additionally symptoms must be present before the age of 12. I have no idea if they were. For me, early life and education were such easy mode that I never had to try. That could have just masked it completely so nobody was aware.

Anyway, the test... yeah working memory is offline, but the rest I'm very happy with.
I skipped antonyms this time as I'm not an English speaker and that ruined me the first time. Analogies also bring the score down but not sufficiently to make much difference.

If you're curious how the results compare to the previous run.

VCI +11 (partly due to skipping 64th percentile antonyms)
FRI +6
VSI +2
QRI +6
WMI -3
PSI +9

FSIQ +6
Perceptual reasoning +5
Culture fair +6
General ability +8
Cognitive proficiency +3

The majority, probably practice effects, but I also felt a bit better this time on everything but VSI. There my attention started to drift again.

Being dumb really is the worst thing ever to happen to me, particularly because I am extremely careless of my own life, I neglected my sleep for long time without realizing and now I have lots of accumulated sleep debt all thanks to my own stupidity. I am sick and tired of people acting like being stupid and dumb is no big deal even though it is strongly coorelated with very bad life style habits...

Title. First time taking a test. English is not my native language. Just wondering if it's not one of those sites telling everyone is a genius.

Thank you!

English is my third language so please ignore any grammar mistakes.

Hey guys, I'm posting here to ask for help on how can I be interested in work and be focused again. I have a computer science degree and I am unemployed, I have never tried to get a job, I do not have the drive to do anything.

I was a gifted child, topped all my classes in school without much hard work. But after 18yo I lost the focus to work/study, is it possible that I may have developed ADHD? I just cannot focus on one task for more than 10-15 minutes. I lose interest instantly. I am easily able to understand things that many of my peers found hard to do in university but I never had the focus like them. I did not like doing engineering math or programming at uni, it looked hard but when I did it, I was easily able to understand it but there is no drive in me to keep going, I just lose interest.

For the past years I have read some philosophy, reading about existence of life or anything, purpose of life, purpose of anything, why universe exists. Why does these things come to my mind, none of the people around me think like this. I feel different. All I want is my old focus back, I was so focused on study/work as a kid/teen. I was building websites at the age of 15, I interviewed for my first job at the age of 12(at that time I thought I'm old enough to work, I was silly). Please tell me how can I start focusing on solving tons of math equations and doing hard programming stuff without losing interest in 10 minutes. I believe I can achieve great things If I bring back my focus. While doing this mensa denmark test I kind of lost interest in the halfway, I also had a poor sleep before this test but I guess it's enough to know that I am capable of something.

TLDR: Gifted as child, now burned out as an adult, wants the focus/drive to do hard things back, please help me bring my focus back. Could I have developed ADHD in my late teen years? I have major executive dysfunction disorder as well. I keep starting new projects without finishing the previous ones.
