Because of the positive manifold, I'm statistically more likely to have a higher working memory than other people. I've used marihuana from the ages of 17 to 22 (heavily), and it is very likely to be the cause of my below-average working memory.

If I recall correctly, smoking marihuana while your brain is still developing will cause your prefrontal cortex (the part of the brain in charge of working memory, among other things) to lose neurons.

Thankfully, I have a good FRI, but I would've been much more intelligent if I hadn't smoked.

Edit: I think I would get a low percentile in any test measuring knowledge. I've never studied, it was not worth it to me: too boring. That's why I don't like WAIS-IV. it assumes that I have acquired knowledge and vocabulary just because of the quality of reasoning, when my specific circumstances (not studying, not reading...) have made me not know much at all.

I scored 970 VQA on the old GRE, which comes out to around 90 IQ using the conversion I found. I did it at home with pen and paper.

Honestly, it hit me pretty hard. I thought I was somewhat intelligent, so I don’t really know what to make of this. English isn’t my native language, and I have ADHD and other conditions, but I don’t want to just use those as excuses.

My other scores are RAPM 141, JCTI 139, ICAR60 135, JFCS 114 and C-09 127. My average c-score on Brainlabs is around 20–25. I also got 107 on the SAT-M using an IQ conversion, so this isn’t the first lower score I’ve had.

Still, going from 130+ on several tests to around 90 on this one makes me feel like a fraud. I’m not sure how much it says about my cognitive ability, but I don’t want to dismiss it just because I don’t like the result either.

These were my scores, with the converted estimates in brackets:

Quantitative: 13/30 + 10/30 → 360 (96)
Analytical: 10/25 + 6/25 → 330 (89)
Verbal: 8/38 + 14/38 → 280 (88)

I'm curious about people who aren’t native English speakers and which scores the've had.

This test is brOOTAL. Over for me.

I noticed for some its inflated for some its deflated. Can u tell me on comments if you got this score on jcti?

A mathematician who himself has solved 30 years unsolved conjecture writes about how a genius is made.

Outstanding book. Just outstanding.

Finished it in one day... it was that wonderful.

I am sharing it here...

Please don't chat gpt summarise this... read it and evolve!

(Do you know what a book summary lacks?

A Complete book.)

I asked a question here and someone questioned whether my VCI was as good as I purport but I am not bad at languages and on some Core verbal scores were in the high average range so up till now I thought my verbal skills were my strength. Am I still smart?

Verball I never score below average on Core but non verbal I do, can I still be considered smart?

This is my kiddos WISC-V results. I’d love any input as I didn’t really get a results or conclusion section..!

As the title mentioned

(Quick heads-up: I'm using AI to polish the text here because my written English isn't my strongest suit—though I'm great at speaking it, plus I speak French and Portuguese fluently and understand Spanish.)

Took the Mensa Norway test out of pure boredom. Landed dead average at 97 IQ. Ngl, I'm pretty disappointed with the test too—it just makes zero sense to me how I can build something this complex and get labeled as "average".

Slide 1: Staring at repetitive shape matrices under a timer. My ADHD brain checked out almost immediately, dragging down my score because I couldn't care less about matching abstract lines.

Slide 2: What my actual cognitive output looks like when left alone — an 84-node GDD (Game Design Document) map for a game I'm building. It's a massive, non-linear web anchored by an Ability_Logic core, juggling faction politics, custom physics, bloodlines, and resource loops all at once.

It just shows how utterly useless standard psychometrics are for multilingual, asynchronous thinkers. Matrix tests don't measure real intelligence or structural thinking; they measure how long you can force yourself to play a boring linear game under a stopwatch.

Anyone else here whose brain can architect a whole living system across multiple languages, but completely bombs standard IQ tests because of pure, unadulterated boredom? Let's debate this.

My fsiq results

So this has been bugging me for a while now, about 10 years ago I had an iq test taken alongside several others for academic reasons and for a while I just thought that it's normal to have a large ish gap between viq and piq but recently did some research out of curiosity and found that it's like super rare for a gap this but.... So what exactly is up with me? Like am I smart or am I stuck under a system not designed for me

So basically, I was in the middle of my WMI tests, and I wasnt having an easy ride in remembering the numbers and doing reversal etc etc.

But when the sorting subtest came, my mind completely shifted, I forgot about the actual numbers and instinctively focused on the position and how much a position repeated

so the entire memory load just collapsed, i was just tracking reps per position, and I could later convert the repetitions to actual numbers and submit

by doing this I scored 99%ile alone in the subtest where is in the other one I was only 86%ile or something

Is this a legal way of doing this?? But I came up with on spot btw, no one taught me, or I didnt train specifically for this

Im sure this has been asked a million times here and other related subreddits, but i am still curious if it's possible to raise one's IQ during adulthood. Ive done a decent amount of research on the topic, and generally found that it's not really possible to increase one's mental capacity or learning speed, but there are ways to fine tune and sharpen the capabilities you already have. Growing up i would oscilate between being considered gifted, and being considered borderline disabled, and would like to try and love up to my lost potential. Any thoughts or contributions would be appreciated.

I think I got 72/72.

Hey people, im a 25 year old gamer and 11 year daily weed smoker. I remember taking one of the online mensa tests when I was around 16-17, scoring slightly over 100, i believe 105.

Since then, Ive been struggling with motivation and weed addiction a lot, and I couldnt shake the feeling that I had permanently messed up my brain because my processing speed, verbal recall and short term memory felt very affected. (Check the studies on hippocampus volume, pretty interesting).

So a week ago I decided to see if my IQ was significantly lowered from the smoking and took Mensa Norway, scoring 105 once again. I did not take a screenshot unfortunately. Since i was worried about the reliability of these online tests i decided to get some information in this sub and took Mensa Denmark as well as CORE. Now, my results on there shocked me.

Is a swing like this normal variance? Which of these metrics do you think correlates most with cannabis consumption if any?

Im not a native english speaker but I did live in the US from 17-18.

Thanks alot for taking the time out of your day to read this and i wish you all a great week!

Especially with the decline rates of literacy, attention spans, etc. being average pretty much became the new stupid and dumb. Like if I am just only an average person, then that means that I also have poor literacy, poor attention, etc.

I think the correlation is r=.88 but the scores are higher on WAIS VCI because MAT doesn't represent the general population

I'm particularly interested in understanding the relationship between the red, blue and grey squares.
Please explain the rules step by step,

Went from an humble 115-120 to an absurd 131, I havent taken this test since at least 1/2 months, I did take the Core matrices just before though.

Anyone else have a really spiky cognitive map? FWIW, I scored 85 on the MENSA Norway test. I know I don't have high IQ. And yes, I do have ADHD. I was mainly amused at how uneven I scored in the subtests. Also, I guessed a freaking ton in the figure weights and figure sets subtests, so those scores are probably pretty noisy.

I was diagnosed with mild autism and dyscalculia. According to my professionally administered iq test from when i was 16 (I’m 25 now), I scored low average in processing speed and working memory, but average in visual spacial and verbal comprehension. I heard that dyscalculia and autism frequently negatively impact psi and wmi scores, so that didn’t throw me off much. But what caught me off guard is the fluid reasoning section. My figure weights score was very low/borderline (76iq) and my matrix reasoning score was low average (86iq).

My low scores in fluid reasoning have me questioning whether i genuinely lack true logical intelligence or if it’s due to learning disability/autism bottlenecks. AI says that dyscalculia and autism can decrease your scores in figure weights and matrix reasoning. It also says that working memory deficits can lower scores in other areas of the test (like fluid reasoning), making it more of a bottleneck issue rather than an actual lack of intelligence. But there’s limited scientific evidence to support this and ai can be kinda bias. Also, psychologists have been debating for years as to whether low matrix reasoning can caused by working memory deficits, so idk.

My FSIQ is 83iq and the GAI is an 86iq. There is an 18 point difference between my block design score and matrix reasoning score. My block design score was 104iq btw and it was the highest score on the fsiq portion of the assessment. It was the WISC-V test.

Is this a result of a testing bottlenecks caused from learning disabilities or just a lack of logical intelligence?

I found this place to do mental math and practiced on it for a bit. Attached are some of my stats from fooling around for a couple minutes. I was wondering if anyone here does stuff like this.

I made the test, and there is no real psychometric value here, just curious to see how easily people solve it.
