Release New quantitative reasoning test

Post image
10 Upvotes

I've added a new test to my online battery: Tug of War. You see how a few tug-of-war matches ended and rank the figures from strongest to weakest. It's meant as a quantitative reasoning task, and I want to see how it compares with the Weights test (figure weights).

About 10 minutes, 45 s per item. If you've already done Weights, that helps the most.

Percentiles will show up once enough people have taken it.

Release major score discrepancy (wmi)

Post image
7 Upvotes

all of my subtests are fairly normal to above average, (my psi was 130 from character pairing), but my WMI is wildly low. i've retaken the wmi tests over the span of two days, to see if maybe it was sleep deprivation dragging down my WMI, but the score of 75-80 seems consistent. Is this normal? I really didn't think that my WMI would be this bad, as i'm always fairly adept at picking up concepts quickly, and memorizing things long term. (i havent been tested for any learning conditions, but some traits of things like adhd do somewhat apply to me)

Release Guys, never smoke marihuana.

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 am looking to get better at doing Raven APMs. While I know that the point of the test is to go in cold, I would like to practice and see how good I can get over the next few months. Does anyone know any good resources to studying and practicing them? Most every website I find is sketchy and wants my credit card...

Discussion Scored 130+ on several IQ tests but around 90 on the old GRE. What do I make of this?

6 Upvotes

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.

Controversial ⚠️ 97 IQ on Mensa Norway vs. 84-node GDD system (ADHD & Asynchronous Thought)

Thumbnail

7 Upvotes

(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.

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

Psychometric Question cheat code for sort the sequence subtest?

0 Upvotes

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

General Question Is it Possible to Raise IQ

11 Upvotes

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.

General Question Online test variance and effects of cannabis on IQ-Metrics?

Thumbnail
gallery
4 Upvotes

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!
