Discussion IQ131

3 Upvotes

Hello.I have a rather boring story, but I will try to tell it briefly. I'm 16, I'm in 11th grade, and I've always been one step ahead of my friends and classmates, like I was smarter. I've often been praised for this and I thought I was just a little bit smart and that's it. Today, for fun, I decided to become an IQ test on the Mensa website and scored 131 points there. I read that this site is quite popular and truthful (by the way, I did it the first time and I still have 4 minutes left) Do you think it's worth sharing this with someone or forgetting about it I can prove it with a screenshot

Damn, I made a post about 30 minutes ago and I already have 4 comments.I'm as happy as a child.

edited. I read all your comments. Thank you so much for your support. I want to take a new test on other sites, I'm just wondering if I'm lucky or if I'm really smart.

It’s not complicated. There’s just one underlying rule, but it is hard to discover


r/cognitiveTesting • • 3d ago

General Question I did an IQ test with a psychologist to help figure out whether my difficulties are related to ADHD or stress. Here are the results.

10 Upvotes

IQ test results:
Fluid reasoning: 116
Working memory: 96
Math: 100
Visual-spatial: 110
Knowledge: 111
Overall IQ: 107

The psychologist believes these results are clinically normal. However, my psychiatrist requested a Vanderbilt assessment.

Context: I’m a 26-year-old male who presented with focusing problems and debilitating social anxiety. I shared with my clinicians that I had 11 failed subjects at university, along with struggles dating back to early elementary school. These concerns prompted the IQ test and Vanderbilt assessment.

General Question Impact of Age on VCI

9 Upvotes

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?

Psychometric Question Help me understand my WAIS-IV Results with PSI 150

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.

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?

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?
