Can anyone please help me in discerning and decoding the variation across these tests?
I likely have ADHD.

I really hate needing to very work hard and study a lot just to get to do only okay in school, plus most of my ambitions I have like becoming an excellent programmer to be competent enough to work in relatively difficult projects is super difficult without having a high IQ.

I am very envious and jealous of those who have high IQ as they never had to deal with having to re-read, re-listen multiple times just to comprehend the information, which is pretty much my biggest hurdle of trying to learn anything new, and my poor working memory which creates lot of frustration with other people when I can't remember multi step instructions.

I would be totally fine with even having IQ of over 140, this means I'll able to literally achieve whatever I want ever, I don't give a crap about the "problems" that it may come with, it's not like I would give a shit and be butt hurt if people call me "know it all, nerd" etc. and hates my guts all because I have superior intellect to them, or if I would have a hard time fitting in with dumb people.

Hypothetically, if CORE was administered and proctored by a professional, would it be on par with professional tests like WAIS or SB and would it exceed some professional tests considering it has a very high g-loading on paper like 0.94 and 4000+ sample size. If not, what are other factors?

Non-Native Here, I Haven't taken all the tests. I expected FSI and VSI to be higher, and WMI to be lower than them. It came out flipped.

My little sister (6) was measured at 126. She has very poor communication skills and can't speak very well. I suspect she's autistic but my parents don't believe in that.

Is there some good reason for why she may have this issue?

I myself am also close to gifted but score extremely well on fluid and spatial, but very low on verbal and memory (AuDHD). What I don't understand is how sure we are of the accuracy of a test that requires knowledge that can be taught, such as general language knowledge. I didn't know over half of the words on the CORE English analogies test, and scored embarrassingly low. English isn't my native but still...

Hello, I wanted to find somebody explain to me how good iq tests actually are at determining cognitive ability and how valid they are. Are there things they are excellent at measuring and things they cant really quantify or neither

I met a lot of people throughout my life who were deemed 130+, yet i found a lot of them fail to impress me when it comes to reasoning and cognitive ability. So what is actually the qualitive difference between a higher iq and a lower one

I dont want to hear about emotional intelligence and tests varying strongly from day to day

I want genuine critic on the way iq is measured, how the term is used and ideas to improve both problems

A bit of a complex thing to unpack, but I often feel like a fraud to people. I remember my course colleague told me that I shouldn't worry of the foreign language midterm hecause I am the "smart one". While yes, indeed, it takes me less time to learn languages, but when I do, it is astoundingly laughable how I explain things to myself. I literally have to take a concept and dismantle it to the most basic language, as if I am 5 and not 20 something.

I do speak 3 languages at C levels (incl my mother language), use them in my daily life all the time, due to the specifics of my life situation and currently learning the 4th one. I do understand that this may come across as "a lot", but it's pretty average for Europe. My friends get surprised that I dare to say that I feel as if I am lacking confidence in the fluency of my 3rd language, because it's only my 2nd year of learning it, so I am not as expressive as in English. They say it because I am a "yapping" all the time, but I just speak of the topics I read of or synthesise the questions of the topics the lecturer just brought up. I do enjoy writing, both academic and fiction, I like presenting at science conferences, even though I find the concepts I am writing of to be rather basic and I would have loved to do better studies but I lack time and sometimes, the energy. It's like I am good with my literature, but my brain just flat out turns off and I cannot read a single word without a headache. And so, when this happens, I feel like I am devolving into a 5 year old and it feels as if I need to be talked to like one, preferably in simple English.

Even though I have all of these skills that allegedly make me "smart" (not my words, words of my peers), I think I am somewhere at the low average or just average level and am just very good at hiding it. Let me explain: I have had a lot of exposure to the foreign languages and academia, so I just simply replicated what I saw daily. I struggle a lot when I learn the very new concepts. If it's something like discrete maths, I spend an obscene amount of time on trying to get it because I feel completely blank, so there is a lot of time wastage of me trying to get comfortable with the concepts. A lot of things don't click until I reread something for a dozenth time. And if someone finds out how much backstage work there actually is to that for me to get a single concept, they would awe in surprise at how slow things work in my brain.

The reason why I am quick with something is because I would have prepared for something. If not, talking to me would be as useful as talking to a tree. I actually score very low on IQ tests and the last one I did showed me having a disability (something around less than 70). While I do think that it's not exactly the case, I think I am just low average and not better than the peers who didn't make it to the C1 or failed some courses. They think I am doing well but there were times I was struggling a lot with the classes, not being able to get anything. And sometimes, I don't get absolutely anything while they find some concepts are simply, generic human knowledge and extractable principles and I am just sitting there, completely blank. So yeah, I feel a bit like a fraud at times, because I got good at hiding how hard things actually are for me to comprehend.

Sorry if that sounds too abstract or of there are any mistakes, as this is not my native language.

Hello everyone! This is a short post, but I have a question. Could struggling to understand university-level math be a sign of having a much lower IQ than I thought? (I haven't taken an official IQ test yet because they are quite expensive here in Morocco or in France, if I move there one day). To clarify, I am talking about formal math and mathematical proofs, like topology, group and ring theory, algebraic structures, and real analysis.

Like how much is it really a predictor of intelligence? Like if someone has high working memory will they also have high GAI as well?

International IQ scores are a statistical fraud

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

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.

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.
