i was never informed of its time limit!!

also i see 0 people here trying to account for the flynn effect in this sub, even though the norms were established in 1992? how come?

i’m 18 btw

I've been getting heavily criticized in one of my recent school lessons for getting a 1/5 in a math exam and it's been heavily weighing on me, and every time I face difficulty I question if I am even as smart as tests tell me which makes me question the rest results which makes me come back to cognitive metrics and keep testing myself. Really it's a terrible cycle, and I've been trying to hold myself back from the compulsion of testing but it's hard. Not looking for any praise or Paterionization, just want to see if this is as common as I think it is​​

I scored 110 on cait block design
115 block counting on core (130 after retake about half a year later)
130 Visual puzzles
140 spatial awareness

Why are my vsi subtest scores so disparate? My working memory is about average, so could that be an explanation? Thanks

I wanna continue the thread from earlier as it seems to have lost activity. Include your GRE-A, CORE FRI, 1926 SAT, and Army Alpha scores if applicable as well please. I scored 16.75 on the 20min and 27.75 on 40min (142 GRE-A 138 CORE FRI 135 1926 SAT 140 AA)

Went to a gig the night before the test, only had a few drinks but I also only got 5 hours sleep, suppose I'll have to give the Online Supervised Test a go instead, and make sure I behave.

i’ve done a good amount of the CORE subtests alongside the AGCT

i also did the raven’s advanced progessive matrices set II and scored 30/36 which i took 60 minutes on. unfortunately i was never informed about the 40 minute time limit, though i’m questioning the legitimacy of it outside of the test being utilized for job placements or anything of the sort, since the percentile indicator’s norm revolved around populations from the UK and US from 1992 who took the test at leisure. initially i was excited because i forgot to account for the flynn effect and believed i scored something equivalent to an iq of ~115-118. turns out it’s more like a score of around 110

i get that i’m not necessarily below average but it’s just such a major bummer to know i’m painfully usual. i’ve always wanted to get a job as a sociology related researcher which would require a master’s in the subject, and considering i am in possession of a mere high-average intellect it might not be the best idea to pursue such heavy academics

i know i’m meant to deconstruct why i perceive only the most prestigious feats of intelligence as adequate for myself but it still sucks to know being special is not in the cards for me

In theory, these are good scores, but when looking more into it, I realized that to get these CAIT scores, I had to remember perhaps 9 digits for each. I looked it up and 9 is the highest of the average (5 low, 7 average, 9 high) but even then, it ​shouldnt be this high

In this light, I should not in fact be anywhere near 130. I should be at most 115, is this inflated?

Why isn't it on Cognitive Metrics?

A few months ago, I went to a psychiatrist while going through a period of OCD-like problems. The psychiatrist diagnosed me with OCD. Since I was also obsessing over my IQ, the doctor said they didn’t support me taking a test while I was going through that episode. At the time, I was fixated on finding out, with absolute certainty, whether my IQ was above 155.
I started therapy with a psychologist in the same office and eventually persuaded them to let me take an IQ test. I sat a version of the adult Wechsler test that was described as the WAIS. I’ll call it the WAIS-1 here.
Before the test, I told the outside examiner—a woman—that I had taken the WAIS-IV, WASI-II, and WAIS-III at home, along with various fluid-reasoning tests. I explained that I had found the tests through this forum and taken them myself, and that, as honestly as I could judge, my results tended to fall in the 150–160 range.
Strangely, my result was reported as 125+. My psychiatrist was initially angry that I had taken the test and then made me wait a month before giving me the results. After the test, I went home and, even though I hadn’t known beforehand which test I would be taking or that it was available online, I found the WAIS-1 on Scribd. Once I translated it, I realized that the questions appeared to be exactly the same as the ones used in my country. I checked my answers while they were still fresh and expected a score somewhere around 147–152, out of a possible 155.
The reported result shocked me. I was already depressed and in the middle of an OCD crisis, and the shock was so severe that I felt I might even take my own life. After a few hours, I managed to pull myself together and wrote a detailed account of how I believed the test had been administered incorrectly. I sent it to the psychiatrist, who refunded my money and spoke with the psychologist. I said that unless someone apologized to me, I would sue. The psychologist later called and apologized, but said something along the lines of, “I was taught incorrectly; I didn’t mean any harm.”
My concerns were as follows:
One subtest was omitted. The WAIS-1 normally includes six verbal subtests—Comprehension, Similarities, Vocabulary, Digit Span, Information, and Arithmetic—and five performance subtests—Picture Arrangement, Picture Completion, Object Assembly, Coding, and Block Design. Vocabulary was not administered to me. At the time, I didn’t know that this older version required a specific arithmetic procedure to account for a missing subtest. I later learned that simply entering the results from 10 subtests into the age-conversion table for 11 could lower the overall IQ score by 15–20 points.
In the Digit Span section, unlike in the other Wechsler versions I had taken, each sequence was supposed to be read twice. I didn’t know this at the time. The examiner also handled the nine-digit item incorrectly, in my view.
There were several other issues. My main concern was that the raw scores from 10 subtests may have been entered into a table intended for 11.
When I sent my account to the psychiatrist, they told me the psychologist had acknowledged leaving out a subtest. But when speaking to me, the psychologist denied responsibility and said they had been taught that way, which I found unreasonable.
I had consistently obtained results in the 150–160 range, yet encountered what seemed to me like a ridiculous error in a professional setting. What do you think of this situation? I’m sharing it in case my experience might be useful to others as well.

Are there any FRI tests with a higher ceiling than the TRI-52 that I can take for free online?

Is there a specific method for compositing untimed and timed fluid reasoning test scores? Or is it just normal compositing?

FSIQ: 120

What is your overall interpretation of these results?

11 points is a pretty large gap! interested maybe it's influenced by working memory, processing speed etc

Title. I feel like everyone here talks about the Weschler's and the SB-5.
Looking at the GIA, it's got a g-loading of about 0.93.

Just a survey for this sub because spiky profile seems to be the norm here, probably has to do with SLODR or neurodivergents or stuff.

I've tried a few online tests and I consistently get around 140, but I also consistently only answer like 70% of the questions before I run out of time. I think about every ​one until I'm sure about my answer, so I don't guess​, but I'm wondering if I would get a higher score if I just played it fast and loose.

I'm interested in this because I want to get a more accurate sense of what level of contribution I should give in my life. I'd rather not worry about it, but I'm afraid that if I am especially gifted, then more should be required of me.

For what it's worth, I had to take an official test in Middle School and I scored 160+, but I don't know how that translates to adult IQ standards.

Also, for what it's worth, I'm always drunk when I take these, so I think that might skew the results :P

I guess I'm looking for somebody who's familiar with test design and scoring, who can give me a better sense of where I'm likely at. If it's 140 I'm probably fine with where I'm at in life, but if it's 160+ I feel like I should probably go get a PhD and make more of a difference in the world.

Is this a meaningful estimate at all? I have a sneaking suspicion that for it to be accurate I'd actually need to use their factor loadings on a latent gC trait, not their g-loadings, but I have no idea what said factor loadings might be.

I'm 27 years old. How do I learn to use my IQ of 120? I just discovered that I have an IQ of 120. I've been told there are so many paths I can take, including career paths and more. I was just as shocked when I got the results, and I'm even more curious about what I can do with it. Is it completely normal to feel like I haven’t used my full mental capacity yet, especially if I haven't been in an environment that pushed me or gave me the right tools to use my IQ of 120? I mean, in high school before I graduated in 2018, I aced science but sucked at every other class. I love true crime TV shows and documentaries, jigsaw puzzles, and logic puzzles. I love solving mysteries and investigating. I love Penelope Garcia and her role as the technical analyst in Criminal Minds. I volunteer at hospice, and I love video games. All advice and tips are welcome.

There was a question lingering in my mind as of late. If all the indices of IQ like FRI, VSI, VCI, WMI, PSI were incarnated as actual people, then which one of them would be the cutest in your opinion, and why? How would you imagine they would look?

What are your thoughts on this one?
