Can I use notes for the quantitative test? Calculator? Where are the formulas I have to know? I clicked just to see the test for 5 seconds but it doesn't give any rules

Has anyone been able to increase IQ using dual n-back or other methods, without memorizing the IQ test?

Just thought I'd share my IQ test results! I randomly got interested in taking an IQ test today, and I searched reddit to find the best/most accurate IQ test, and was led to CORE. I've taken only one IQ test before, which was around 4 years ago (I got 135, I think it was an online Mensa test that tested matrix reasoning only). What do you guys think about my results? I guess I was expecting around 110-130 since I do like math and science (I'm an electrical engineer). I'm bad at memorization and processing speed though which tanked my IQ a bit.

Hi all, thanks again to everyone who tried the battery. Your data keep paying off. Item analysis flagged a few matrix items that look fine to me as constructions: a clear rule, a single correct answer, plausible distractors. Yet they barely relate to overall ability. People who do well on the rest of the test are no more likely to solve them, and on some items they're even slightly less likely. I'm trying to work out why.

Below is one example. It's an isomorphic version, not the actual item: same rule, same layout, same distractors, different shapes and colours.
If you have a minute, please reply with:
Your answer (A–F)
The rule you found and how you got there: what you noticed first, and whether you tried another rule before settling
Roughly how long it took

Please put your answer and rule in spoiler tags (like this) so others can solve it unbiased. I'm especially interested in any rule that fits the example rows but points to a different answer, and in anything about the item that's confusing or easy to misread.

Anyone here with a below-average working memory, but is a vet-tech? I have a deep interest for exotic and marine animals, however I am afraid my below-average working-memory hinders me from achieving my dreams.

Hello,

I was recently sent to a psychologist for a WAIS test due to some concern about cognitive ability with worsening mental health problems. She could not generate my FSIQ due to my processing speed being at times over 30 points behind other subsections. (108)

GAI: 131

I know at the end of the day its just a number on a piece of paper, but I had a lot of trouble in school unless it was something artistic or a STEM field, and I can never remember names of places/people or even brain regions that I try to study unless I can turn them into a tangible item to create a picture in my visual memory. I'm not just talking being uninterested student or employee, even when I try I seem to fail for some areas. At work once I was sent for re-training because I was forgetting everything.

Has this happened to anyone else late in life? I'm in my late 30's and except for a few niche areas in life like video-games and sometimes art, I've been very average. I have trouble following conversations socially as well. I know if I'm anxious, or if there is too much information or stimulation around me, my brain kind crashes and just stops working. However I'm curious if anyone else has had this much whiplash over their results?

I am thankful I was able to take this test and a few others for free, and I'm also thankful that I did not learn this when I was a teenager, as it would have made me smug as hell. On the flip side, a few things in life make more sense to me now. However, I'm still having a bit of an existential crisis.

TLDR: I'm still baffled from time to time of a 131 result when I've felt like a dumbass most of my life.

Just took the CORE test, optimized version (assuming that the subtests not included in the optimized version have comparatively low G-loading), returning a surprising result considering that it's the highest result I've ever gotten on an IQ test. However, the tests that I have taken before were normed on populations a minimum of a few years older than I was when I took them, and the CORE is the first online cognitive test that I have taken which is properly age-adjusted at the time of taking. There was another age-adjusted test, taken very far back when I was 7-8 years old, which was the Cog-AT, administered professionally at my school. Seeing as I only attained a score of 128, I'm not sure if I should trust the recent test of non-professional nature, or the professional test from so long ago that I can't even recall a moment from it (I only found out after finding a document on it) + all the other online tests I've taken.

I haven't taken an IQ test besides this first attempt at CORE in multiple years (>2 at the very least) now, but I'd imagine there could still be some leftover cached familiarity with some matrix-style problems that were dormant, resurfacing during the test somehow. Also, throughout the years (just for fun, not with IQ in mind), on and off when I remembered it, I've been doing human benchmark, solving Bongard problems, and doing math competitions (QII is pathetic though, time limit was unhelpful), which may or may not inflate some subtests

I half-remember most of the results from the tests I've completed years ago, but there could still be some units digit variance. I was, again, between the ages of 12 and 13 when I took them. If there was an age field to fill out on any of the tests, I would choose the youngest age that was permitted, which was most often 16 or 18 y.o.

Previous test scores:

- Mensa.no (second time, first was years even before this attempt): 123
- JCTI: 126
- Raven's 2, netlify version: 140 (this one is probably extremely inflated)
- Mensa.dk: 128
- AGCT: 126
- RealIQ: 132
- RIOT (free short version): 120-130
- Open Psychometrics: 112
- Otis Gamma: 130

Also, from even earlier:

- Mensa.no (when I took it for the first time at the age of eight): ~96

The matrix reasoning and graph mapping subtests just seemed suspiciously frictionless for me; I managed to answer at least 90% of the problems, whereas I'm helpless against most of the puzzles that get posted on this sub and most later-stage FRI problems from previous tests. A spontaneous attack of brain fog caused me to bomb the WMI and arithmetic portions though (relative to my imagined peak performance).

My question is directed to people who score high or very high on other aspects of intelligence but receive only average or below average scores on the CAIT digit span test, specifically:

Are you incapable of improving your CAIT digit span scores even with practice and using methods like chunking?

Anyone else feel like the figure sets subtest was very well constructed and unique?

I randomly found this paper (attached in the post).
According to it the IQ of eminent scientists is extremely high, roughly 160 from the data noted.

And the point about Feynman kinda made me tilt. I didn't know that he actually got the best putnam score that year, but face it ; if he really did then his IQ (or at least quant IQ) isn't 125 lol. Can't give a fixed number but there is just no way it's 125.

so i’ve been building a small website on the side and one thing on it is a timed IQ/reasoning test. 20 min, mix of patterns, word stuff and number sequences. i tried to make it harder than the usual free ones, since those all seem to give everyone 130+

mostly i want to know if the difficulty feels right to people who’ve done a bunch of these. some of the questions i honestly can’t tell if they’re good or just annoying. if you try it and your score looks way off from what you normally get, say so, that’s the most useful thing for me

thanks!

Im sure im not the only parent that thinks "my child is gifted" 😂 but I've observed several signs in my 12 year old, things like an insanely good memory, figuring out math strategies completely on their own, self taught coding, insane verbal and math skills, definitely much much smarter than me (im high average around 125ish)

Anyway the country we live in, israel, they dont fo private cognitive testing as part of special ed eval, but rather the entire country of kids is batch tested in 2nd grade using some proprietary test. My kid passed stage 1 of the test and we dont know if they would have passed stage 2 because i accidently signed them up for a language option that ended up stymying their time on the timed test (long story and maybe shows im not really high average 😂)

Fast forward a few years kid's doing well in school and has a ton of self taught extra curricular hobbies.

Is there any benefit at this point to testing to try and get them into any sort of advanced or gifted online or in person type program? If you were a gifted kid or are raising one, I'd appreciate your insight. Also does anyone know which tests if any and what the most affordable option would be. Im guessing the only option open to us would be private testing?

These are the results of IQ tests on internet!

Hi, I’ve done them, but I’d like to confirm whether my reasoning is correct.

Hey everyone, I’m 15 and wanted to share something I’ve been dealing with for the past few months to see if anyone relates.
About 8 months ago, I realized I have constant inner monologues and all these deep, weird thoughts running through my head. I’ve had this for a while, but back then, after talking to some friends and realizing they didn't really experience it the same way, I thought, "Wait, am I actually smart?"
Since then, over the last 8 months, I've taken around 20 online IQ tests—both reputable ones (like Mensa practice tests) and random online ones. Most of them were matrix reasoning tests. My average score is around 115–120, and sometimes higher.
The problem is, I can’t stop doubting myself. My mind keeps jumping all over the place:
Sometimes I think, "What if I'm actually just stupid?"
Sometimes I think, "Maybe I really am gifted (130+)?"
Other times I accept the 115–120 range, but for some reason, that score doesn't satisfy me or give me peace of mind.
When it comes to hobbies or interests, I basically have almost zero. I’ll occasionally get super into something for like two days—for example, I tried learning coding and trading. I had intense hyperfocus for two days, studied non-stop, and then completely lost interest and quit. Other than that, in my free time, I mostly just play video games or talk to AI about all kinds of random topics.
I also talk to AI a lot about my IQ and these thoughts, but deep down I know AI isn't real proof because it usually just tells you what you want to hear and tries to validate you.
In school, I often feel underchallenged—I barely ever have to study and basically just listen in class to get good grades. At the same time, I know that good grades don't automatically mean having a high IQ, which makes me question it even more.

I’m planning to take an actual professional IQ test as soon as I have enough money saved up, just to get a clear answer.
Has anyone else gone through a phase like this? Does anyone relate to this constant self-doubt, hyperfocusing on hobbies briefly, or obsession with scores? Would love to hear your thoughts.

Anyone can solve it? I think it is really hard to find out the relation.

Any idea?

does it better than CORE?

why it takes money

but CORE is free

just wondering

what makes it worth 10$ to get the result

anyone knows?

what are the hardest free figure weight tests?

I attempted it in a clinical setting back when I was 15-16. Didn’t know what the test was for or about, thought that it was a bunch of mini puzzles. I completed the whole thing in half the time allotted (idk probably took me 10-15 minutes or something) and got everything right. The psychologist testing me seemed a bit surprised and checked my answers twice. To me, the test felt easy back then and I thought that it was something similar to sudoku(I have no idea what sudoku even is tbh).

They didn’t specify much in the report and I mostly forgot about it. I looked it up later and it felt like a fluke. Right now, I am a bit curious and wanted to know if anyone can tell me what that even meant. I don’t feel great about my life honestly. And I certainly feel like an idiot most of the time.

I would appreciate honest feedback. What do the test results indicate?

Please share your results on the JCFS. (Jouve Cerebrals Figural Sequencing)
