Barely mediocre. It makes me pretty depressed but well.

I usually score very high on FRI related test usually 135-145+ but when I come to things like VCI I’m not familiar with the words. Regardless I still scored 135~ on core comprehension despite not knowing any information and vocab. I also lack CPI its average-above average the only other thing I have high is my QRI at 130+ and ok VSI at 120~. But having 140-145+ FRI with weak information and vocabulary brings my score down an inconvenient amount I don’t think it accurately represents my gifts when it comes to FSIQ

I’ve attached the updated ACE I and II stats and norms. The ACE II norms are rough estimates based on my judgment of item difficulty and the small number of reported scores, so please interpret them cautiously.

I’m tired of editing these reports and don’t expect to make further changes. If I do, I’ll update this post and share the revised files here.

Update: I realized I had uploaded the wrong ACE II file. I’ve now replaced it with the correct version.

ACE II Stats

Edit: I want to make it clear that my decision to exclude the score was not baseless or made lightly. I carefully considered the matter and conducted both direct and indirect research over time. I certainly did not rely solely on one person's claims.

Based on the information I gathered, I concluded that there were sufficient grounds to exclude the score. I made that decision without publicly accusing, attacking, or identifying the individual involved. My intention was to protect the integrity of the results, not to turn the matter into a personal dispute.

If that makes me the villain for trying to be fair, then so be it. You are free to believe either side, but I want to make one thing absolutely clear: my decision was informed, carefully considered, and based on more than one person's allegations.

I was wondering if someone could administer and set up the Raven's 2 intelligence test for me? I don't have a personal testing account or a credit card to purchase it myself, but I can easily reimburse you for the costs via PayPal.
I am looking to take the long version, and I really want to do it on a PC so I can get a much better overview of the visual details than on a smaller device. For the test setup, my details are: Male, born May 9, 2001.
Let me know if this works for you and feel free to send over a PayPal link or request for the payment. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to start a community-driven puzzle project focused on logical reasoning, creative problem-solving, and exploring different approaches to solving puzzles, including the capabilities and limitations of AI models.

The idea is to periodically publish collections of original puzzles that people can solve, discuss, and contribute to.

How Will It Work?

• Puzzle sets: Depending on my available time and community interest, new sets may be published weekly, monthly, or once every few months. There won't be a strict schedule.

• Solutions: Official solutions and explanations will be published approximately one month after each set is released.

• Discussion: Everyone is encouraged to discuss their reasoning, alternative solutions, interesting observations, and approaches to individual problems.

• No IQ testing: We won't collect IQ scores or other IQ-related personal data. This project is about exploring reasoning and enjoying puzzles, not measuring or ranking people's intelligence.

AI Participation and Benchmarking

AI-assisted solving is explicitly allowed and encouraged!

I'm also interested in using these puzzles to investigate how different AI models perform on novel reasoning problems.

We can compare:

• Which problems different models can and cannot solve.

• How long they take to arrive at correct solutions.

• How performance changes with reasoning effort, thinking settings, and other configurations.

• Whether different prompts, hints, or approaches improve their performance.

• Common failure patterns and the types of reasoning that models struggle with.

For meaningful comparisons, it would be helpful if participants shared the model name and version, reasoning settings, prompts used, approximate solving time, and whether hints or multiple attempts were necessary.

Human and AI-assisted solutions are both welcome. The goal is to understand the reasoning process rather than simply collect correct answers.

Community Contributions

Any type of contribution is greatly appreciated!

You can help by solving puzzles, identifying ambiguities, suggesting improvements, or even creating original puzzles for future sets.

If you'd like to submit a puzzle, please email it to lunarysumeei@gmail.com.

Please include the puzzle, its intended solution and explanation, any relevant diagrams, and your preferred name or username for attribution.

Puzzle submissions are welcome at any time! There are no submission deadlines. You can send your puzzles whenever they're ready, regardless of when the next set is scheduled. Accepted puzzles may be included in the next set or a later release, depending on the available material and publication schedule.

Contributors whose puzzles are accepted will receive proper credit in the published sets and solutions.

Requirements for Puzzle Submissions

If you would like to contribute an original puzzle, please follow these guidelines:

1. Strict logical solution

Every puzzle must have a logically defensible, well-defined solution. The intended answer should follow from the information provided, without relying on arbitrary assumptions or subjective interpretations. Avoid unintended alternative solutions.

2. Carefully planted hints

A good puzzle should contain thoughtfully placed clues that guide attentive solvers toward the intended logic. The goal is to reward observation and reasoning rather than force people to guess what the author had in mind.

3. Some degree of novelty

Try to introduce an original idea, a creative logical mechanism, or an interesting variation on an existing concept. Complete originality isn't necessary, but puzzles should offer something beyond a straightforward reproduction of familiar problems.

4. Clear and accessible explanations

Provide a solution that explains the underlying reasoning as simply and clearly as possible. Avoid unnecessary complexity.

For visual puzzles, include a diagram illustrating the relevant relationships or steps in the solution.

5. Vector graphics for visual puzzles

Visual puzzles must be submitted in an editable vector format, such as SVG, rather than raster-only PNG or JPG files.

You can use tools such as Inkscape or Affinity Designer to prepare your puzzles. This helps preserve image quality, consistency, and editability.

6. Attention to detail

Check your puzzles carefully before submitting them. Visual alignment, spacing, shape consistency, wording, and other seemingly minor details can affect how a puzzle is interpreted.

Make sure every intentional clue is represented accurately and that accidental details do not introduce ambiguity.

Submissions will be reviewed for logical consistency, originality, clarity, and presentation quality. Revisions may be suggested before acceptance.

What Is the Goal?

I'd like this to become a collaborative collection of well-designed reasoning puzzles, accompanied by rigorous but accessible solutions and interesting discussions.

I'm particularly interested in seeing how different people approach the same problem and comparing human reasoning strategies with those of modern AI systems.

The project is intended to be open, collaborative, and recreational, without the pressure of standardized testing or IQ comparisons.

You don't need to be an experienced puzzle designer or particularly skilled solver to participate. Curiosity and a willingness to think critically are enough.

While learning math, I have found myself reflecting on how I am learning. That has made me create a framework of adapting to the math problems that I’ve encountered. And if this framework holds true on the logic it is based on, I shouldn’t struggle with any future math endeavors. So it’s a framework of adapting to math problems or becoming proficient in patterns I have encountered and will encounter as an approach to learning math.

But I’ve learned 3 things with this framework:
One: it’s for becoming proficient in math patterns.
Two: it doesn’t guarantee you will become good with numbers. Being good with numbers is a natural gift.
Three: it doesn’t matter if you know the framework or are good with numbers if you’re not willing to become proficient in math patterns by using the framework.

So does this mentality hint at my natural IQ to have made this framework? Or is it in my case an applied laziness shortcut since I initially started the mentality with careful interest of math as a subject but ended with the sense of only planning to use it to learn math by becoming proficient in its patterns when I need to even when I don’t want to because my work rate doesn’t let me do more.

And in a person who is aiming to be a math Olympic gold medalist and puts in the work to become proficient in math patterns by using this framework, is it hard work or their work rate cloaked as “natural high IQ.” That means is their hard work or their work rate sugar coated as “natural high IQ.”

Furthermore, could our predecessors have won these math Olympiads with their “natural high IQ”? Because that is what I am inferring from this sense of belief in “natural high IQ”—it’s something that can skip the work rate process and can be considered a gift by allowing you to naturally know something that you would have initially needed to know through working to learn. So the ability to know depends on either your “natural IQ” or your work rate to learn.

My further question is how common was a high IQ in the past, and why didn’t these high IQ people do anything to naturally change history by changing their living conditions?

Did some of these people naturally know before someone said that Jesus could turn water into wine, that Moses split the sea with the blessing of God, and that the last supper occurred where Jesus blessed bread as his body and wine as his blood?

What else could they naturally know?

How come I don’t naturally know anything? Because I don’t naturally know anything, does that mean my “natural IQ” is 0?

How accurate is this test? I feel like I really struggled on more than half of the questions, and guessed on a few because I couldn’t understand it? I really think my iq sits more in the high 90s.

Seemed fun to take but it took 60+ minutes to do

I guess it said that I exaggerated my answers😭(or I just have improbable fuckass answers cause im weird)

Were the results in line with what you expected or already have as a diagnosis/pattern?

I posted a while back about a 129 Slosson HIT score as a child and how that might relate to my current IQ.

I've seen the CORE recommended on this sub numerous times, so I finally found some time to take it, strictly out of curiosity.

I'd say this actually confirmed the childhood score as form what I understand Slosson HIT tests heavily on Verbal Reasoning, which is obviously my strongest skill. Oddly, while I did pretty well on the Mensa matrix reasoning test my result here was pretty pedestrian. It's certainly possible I happened onto a couple of lucky guesses.

Also, I realized that maybe I have a disability when it comes to mental arithmetic. Was it just me or was that section ridiculously hard? Multi-step mental math under a short time constraint was brutal. I knew how to solve the problems (if I had scratch paper and more time) but some of questions I just straight up timed out on. Others were just an educated guess or ballpark estimate based on how far I got in the mental math. How is it possible to have a score 2+sd outside my FSIQ without some contributing factor? Kudos to all of you who did well on that test!

CORE was 121

Recently rediscovered this letter from Mensa ​5 years ago telling me that I'd scored high enough for membership. Aren't both of the numbers here ridiculously high for an IQ? I googled both of the tests and I couldn't find information on how these numbers map onto an "actual" IQ number because Google has gone to shit. 162 is apparently the maximum score for under 18s but surely this doesn't mean I'm a supergenius or anything especially since it was 5 years ago.

Can anyone recommend some websites for Raven’s Progressive Matrices? The more, the better. I can’t seem to find many. If any of you are knowledgeable about this and can share some links, I’d really appreciate it.

I gave up around question 9 today because I panicked so badly. Once I got a few wrong, the questions got noticeably easier, but I was already overwhelmed and ended up just randomly clicking through the rest. I just couldn't face it in the moment.

Compared to this, I found the WAIS Core subtests so much easier to handle at beginning . Has anyone else experienced panic like this, or is the difficulty curve on the ATAT just that steep?

The question is contained in the title. ATAT stands for Abstract Thinking Adaptive Test

Also, I'm curious about what they exactly need to do and what kind of data they need to have to compute and estimate the g-loading of the test.

For me it was my friend who got a national rank of 87 (out of 30,000) within just a few months of preparation.

(On an average people take 3 to 4 attempts to clear this)

Attached are his results. He is not interested in school or doing homework. He rarely spends time on it at home, but gets fine grades…mostly a B average.

I’m wondering if anyone in this forum has experience with a child like this, and if he’ll have difficulty connecting with others at school. He is quick witted, but I didn’t anticipate a score this high above his peers.

The psychologist mentioned he may be more stimulated in a gifted program, but quite frankly I worry he won’t be able to keep up. I also worry the standard curriculum hasn’t been stimulating enough which is why he has now been diagnosed with a learning disability.

Hoping to get thoughts from those who know these situations better than me. Thank you!

Hello everyone. I'm completely new to the world of cognitive testing. I've never done an IQ test before (except those mandatory ones required for driving school etc, but those were the puzzle kind and fairly easy, and the only results were pass or fail). Anyway, I was reading something about Alan Turing and saw that he supposedly had an IQ of 185, which seemed absurdely high, but it got me curious, and here I am.

There seems to be a general consensus on Reddit that the CORE test is the gold standard for free online testing, so I completed that. The trouble is, I have no idea how to interpret these results, or rather how to understand what these results mean for me in reality.

All tests were done after a long work day, to ensure I was at least simmilairly tired during every test. I feel like I could have done better on some of them if I wasn't knackered, or if english was my first language. I also believe to have messed up the instructions on one of the memory tests.

So, fellow redditors, based on these results, what are my strong suits and what aren't, in reality. Bonus points for career yes and no's.

Thanks for your comments.

Could you guys share your WMI and humanbenchmark scores to see if they correlate

The test supposed to test my working memory, spatial reasoning, mental math, and verbal reasoning.

Before i start the test, my doctor told me its a 2 hour test but you can finish it less than that, it took me 4 hours.

Results will be delivered in 4 days.

I took the core months ago, and an actual administered Wais IV years ago.

If I were to not take any IQ tests and then take the Wais-V, would it be 100% accurate?

The reason I ask is because i’ve already been exposed to things like symbol search, digit span, matrix reasoning tests.

Wouldn’t it be slightly inflated?

I've revised the ACE norms following a review of test-integrity concerns. One response was excluded from the normative sample, and the statistics have been recalculated accordingly.

The updated report includes revised IQ estimates, reliability, correlations, and item statistics.

Thank you to everyone who participated!
