LongjumpingRadio4078Hi guys
LongjumpingRadio4078Do you guys think some of the matrices tests on cognitivemetrics are more challenging than the WAIS IV subtest? If so, what would you make of the scores?
Quod_bellumWAIS-IV MR is only loosely timed, with what I perceive to be easier items. However, this makes sense given the ceiling of WAIS-IV is 140 with poor granularity; meanwhile, the ceiling of these other tests is higher with greater granularity
Meliodas_2222IQ scores all over the place So I took a couple of online tests last couple of days. Btw I am non native **Quant** - CORE : 135 (Quant: 18ss | Arithmetic: 15ss [scores low since it was verbal]) - SMART: 145 - GRE Q: 145 - 1926 SAT number sequences: 75T - FSAS number sequences: 135 **Untimed MR** - JCTI: 17ss (135) - TRI 52: 871 (146) **Timed MR** - CORE FRI: 124 - CAIT FW: 135 - Mensa Denmark: 135 - Mensa N: 110 (this was my first test) - GRE A: 104 (was way too slow here) **VSI** - CORE VSI - 124 - CAIT VSI - 130 **Others** - ICAR60 - 51 (134) - CORE WMI - 131 - CAIT WMI - 120 - CORE PSI - 92 - Brght - 130 (low vsi) The only thing I could gather from all these tests is my reasoning speed and VSI is relatively poor. But overall my hypothesis is there’s a ceiling one can touch on certain subset type across different tests but IQ scores are affected a lot by external factors. Some people have higher variance, some less. And I think this should be same for pro tests as well. Thoughts???
microburst-inducedNormal variance imo
Spiritual_Isopod1864I made some tests , matrices tests like mensa no 102, mensa dk 122, matrices long , from.sub 124, wisc iv matrices superior, wnv from.the sub 131. Should i expect to.have an iq of more than 127, since wisk iv as a ceilling of 140?
Planter_God_Of_FoodTook is the correct verb.
