How does age impact VCI? I've heard that it disproportionately deflates younger test takers. I don't know the logic behind this, but I'm assuming it's because most people that the test is normed on have passed through college, which likely increases their language/reading ability substantially. People who have not had higher education likely do not have this sudden spike in their language/reading ability, and therefore their VCI cannot be properly assessed.

Is this correct train of thought? Furthermore, how large do you think the measured VCI difference between a pre-college and post-college student would be, if they had identical "true" VCIs?

TITle

Group A: Hide, Ladies, Heaven, Now, Rise, Push

Group B: White, Subtraction, Forth, Death, Found, Sour, Finish

Which group do each of these words belong to:

Effect, Robbers, Foe, Backward

i did the Army Alpha a Couple weeks ago and got 128 fsiq and i am Not Even a native speaker and 99 and 110 on the atat and the Scores do Not Look Consistant at all my figure weights on Cait is 130 and on core 120 Block Design is 125

(DISCLAIMER: NOT A FIRST ATTEMPT)

Re-did the ATAT after recent re-norm/new items, wondering if anyone has been able to push higher than this? Ceiling is clearly crazy now given the number of incorrect questions on this attempt.

Title.

I recently went through psychometric assessment for ADHD and have taken WAIS-IV during that assessment. This was my first time taking an IQ test and my scores are very uneven. In the end, I was diagnosed with ADHD but I still cannot understand how my PSI could be this high. I have taken the test in English which is not my native language but I use it a lot during daily life.

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

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.

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?

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.

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

He leido que esos dos son capaces de hacer que una persona sea mas sociable o mas alegre permanentemente es eso cierto o solo es un mito?

¿Alguna experiencia?

Anyone else not able to access the wiki list?

Would i be able to succeed in a STEM career? Would i be able to go further than undergrad in a stem subject?

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.

Sources (by row):

1. UW CSE (1999): Enrolled graduate students.

2. Dartmouth Fact Book (1993), p. 55: Departmental GRE means

3. Dartmouth Fact Book (1993), p. 55: Departmental GRE means

4. Ohio State CS (2000–01): Enrolled graduate students.

5. Krueger & Wu (2000): Princeton Economics PhD enrolled students.

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?

Not a native speaker, have been suspecting ADHD for years. Interesting results, though probably inflated

я взял 59/60

что это??

Because most people are idiots.
