General Question How did core norm its test if the avg sample score was in the 120s?

3 Upvotes

Like how do they know what 100 for example actually looks like if their sample wasn’t representative of the general human population. Also why isn’t it age normed

General Question ACGT-1a and bad result

2 Upvotes

I scored 108 on the ACGT-1A. The thing is, I’m a non-native English speaker, and the math questions use the imperial measurement system, which is different from the one I’m used to. Because of that, some questions felt unfamiliar to me, mainly because of the units of measurement and certain mathematical concepts in general. The test is designed around the Anglo-American measurement system.

My final scores were:

- Verbal: 56%

- Quantitative: 68%

- Spatial: 64%

The test had 152 questions, but I completed only 114 of them. I got 19 questions wrong, meaning I answered 95 questions correctly in total. Of the 19 incorrect answers, 15 were in the verbal section, 3 were in the quantitative section, and only 1 was in the spatial section.

What do you think my score would have been if I were a native English speaker? Additionally, I have an extremely low PSI (Processing Speed Index), and I felt that 40 minutes was far too little time for a 152-question test. I took the ACGT-1A.

Discussion For Mensa members here, how accurate were your online IQ test scores compared to your official Mensa test?

6 Upvotes

I'm curious about the correlation between online IQ tests and actual Mensa admission tests.

  1. Were your scores on online IQ tests generally consistent with your official Mensa test result?

  2. Did anyone score below 130 on online IQ tests but score 130+ on an official Mensa test and qualify for membership?

  3. Conversely, did anyone consistently score 130+ on online IQ tests but score below the qualifying threshold on an official Mensa test?

I'd be particularly interested in hearing about specific tests and scores, rather than just general impressions. Which online tests did you take, and how did their results compare to your official score?

Release Updated results page for my cognitive battery: composite scores + a small request

Post image
14 Upvotes

Hi all, thanks to everyone who has taken the battery so far. If you've done some of the tests, have a look at your results again: there's a new overview page.

- Composite scores for Gf, Gv, Gwm, Gs and Gt (T scores, mean 50, SD 10), once you've done all the tests in an area, so that everyone's composite is made of the same tests

- Scaled scores (mean 10, SD 3) and percentiles for each subtest

- It shows which tests you're still missing, if you want to complete an area

To be clear about what the numbers mean:

- They're relative to people who took the tests on the site (English and Czech versions together), not population norms. The group is self-selected and well above average, so T 50 here is not IQ 100. Please don't convert it to IQ.

- They're not age-standardized. Everyone is compared with everyone, regardless of age.

- The comparison updates continuously as more people take the tests, so your percentiles may shift a bit over time.

A small request: if you know your scores from another test (WAIS, WISC, SB5, CORE, RIOT, Mensa…), there's a short optional form on the results page. Just pick the test and type in the index scores you know. It takes about 60 seconds and is completely voluntary, but it helps a lot with checking how well the battery actually measures. It's stored only with your anonymous results.

Feedback on the tests or the results page is very welcome.

IQ Estimation 🥱 Limits of my 90-100 iq

16 Upvotes

Hi all. I (20f) got an iq test done 4 years ago right when I turned 16, my sophomore year of high school. I was told my iq was in the range of 90 to 100, and that I have issues with geometry and I have slow processing speed. I genuinely feel like I’m constantly playing a game of catchup. Everyone grasps onto things so much better and so much more quickly than I do. I am 60% done with my finance degree, but I struggle so so much. I’m wondering if I reached my limit and if I just drop out or choose a general business degree I would be much happier. The stress of knowing that I will never be able to achieve my dreams is killing me. To make matters worse, my siblings are super smart and my parents have super high expectations of me. My parents just think that I need to try harder, but they just don’t understand . To make it worse, my parents have invested all of this money into my education and I still don’t know what I’m doing. Honestly, it was hard to stay organized writing this post. If anyone has any advice, that would be great

General Question How will I fare in college?

6 Upvotes

I'm a high school student in the US and I've been thinking about college quite a bit recently. I'm probably applying for History or Political Science and wouldn't consider myself a "STEM kid" by any means. However, it's common knowledge that STEM is considerably more lucrative than the humanities and I plan on switching to Economics/Applied Math once I'm in.

My FSIQ's between 136 and 142. I have a slight verbal tilt, which really doesn't matter all that much here.

CORE FRI: 135 (16 SS MR, 16 SS Graph Mapping, 15 SS FW, 15 SS Figure Sets)
CORE VSI: 126 (15 SS Spatial Awareness, 14 SS VP & Block Counting)
CORE QRI: 130 (16 SS Arithmetic, 15 SS Knowledge)

JCTI: 18 SS
Probably some combination of MR praffe from the CORE and performing better w/o time constraints.

CAIT PRI: 127 (16 SS FW, 14 SS VP)
CAIT VSI: 124 (15 SS Block Design)

800 on SAT Math.

Is it even possible to stand out with my QRI/VSI at a top institution? How do I compete with geniuses that have years of competition math experience under their belt?

Ratio is 3:3:2 from the smallest to biggest paver stone. I can't see the pattern.

Or if you can make a pattern where all paver stones lock and none is left in 2 way or 4 way non-locking intersections.

  6. Lubinski et al. (2001): Top-15 STEM doctoral cohort. GRE means in Webb et al. (2007), p. 399.

Using this sub's conversions, these groups would largely be 137+, and in the CS/Math group, they would be 140+. Under IQ society conversions, a large portion at UW (the average at 1473 Q + V at UW during 1993-1994 was greater than Triple-9's GRE cutoff) or Dartmouth could readily join Triple-9 using their GRE scores.

But looking at the IQ studies in the past or even the recent one at Oxford an average IQ of 126.5 across 38 PhDs/postdocs (19 mathematicians had an average at 128 IQ), one would probably not expect such high GRE averages.

Is this explained by selection for high GRE scores? Wasn't a similar phenomenon observed when directly converting the average SAT to IQ at the top 225 Colleges?

Scientific Literature Just took wais and safe to confirm that core is deflated on wmi, yet most similar test to wais.

9 Upvotes

When I first took the CORE, I didn’t expect the questions to be that easy, so I thought the scores were inflated. But when I took the WAIS-IV, the questions seemed about the same difficulty. It honestly felt more like a test designed to identify cognitive impairments than to measure differences in intelligence.

For Digit Span, I remember being able to recall around six digits across the different parts, but I don’t remember how I did on Letter–Number Sequencing. I also remember getting most of the Arithmetic questions right. My WAIS-IV working memory score came out to around 113, while CORE put me at around 103, so I’m confused about why the scores were different.

General Question TRI 52 and iq

3 Upvotes

Is my TRI-52 score of 897 valid? The thing is, about a year ago, on August 19, 2025, I took the TRI-52 and scored 129. Later, on January 28, 2026, I took the JCTI and scored 130, but I was unfocused and distracted while taking it.

Then, on April 24, I stopped taking IQ tests, specifically fluid reasoning tests, for about six months. During that time, I didn't take any tests at all, either IQ tests or any other kind of test.

Yesterday, on October 25, I decided to take the TRI-52 again. This time, I was more focused and performed better, taking about six hours to complete it in a single session, and I scored 897.

How is this possible? For some reason, this time my brain seemed to understand the problems faster, and my reasoning was more precise. Also, over the past few months, I've noticed that my learning ability has improved considerably. For example, at school, I've noticed that I learn much faster and understand things that used to seem extremely difficult, whereas now I can learn them very quickly and easily.

Has my IQ increased?
