r/cognitiveTesting

I took the CORE test this week. I had virtually no practice beforehand so the Practice Effect should be minimal. I was a little surprised by the spread, particularly the pronounced Verbal tilt to my results, since my undergrad degree was in mathematics and I always considered myself more of a math/science-oriented person. Interested to see how people might interpret this kind of profile.

I intend this question within the bounds of usual differences in adult lifestyles. Mild alcohol and other drug use vs abstinence, good vs poor diet, mental health issues vs good mental health, etc. Do these typical lifestyle differences at all meaningfully affect IQ scores in adulthood?

Some research suggests that even light alcohol consumption can accelerate subclinical cognitive decline. The testing that has established is not based on IQ from what I gather, but I wonder if it could generalize to greater drop in raw IQ score with age, which would translate a drop in IQ relative to the same-aged peers.

Relevant research is appreciated. To anyone who will try to reason the answer because CAIT told them 145, please don't reply.

Gooning (also known as edging) is very similar to cocain in a sense as it keeps dopamine in the synaptic cleft for long periods of time causing heavy dopamine receptor downregulation and inducing a state of hypofrontality (slowed metabolism in the prefrontal cortex), this most heavily impacts Gwm (working memory) and as a result Gf (fluid reasoning) which both rely heavily on sufficient dopamine catching in the synaptic cleft to maintain an optimal signal to noise ratio (essentially to not have brain fog)

Anecdotal experiences:

I have a friend who use to goon quite abit but then he got GF for a few months, then they broke up but he never returned to gooning. He turned into a complete monster, it was actually very intimidating how mentally sharp he became, probably also because he became more confident due to less negative emotion caused by low dopamine receptor density, I seen it most clearly in his video game performance, he became ridiculously good at every game he played out of nowhere, He also became fascinatingly witty, especially around women

I’m admittedly quite the gooner myself, I’ve struggled with it for years but in my second last year of high school I managed to abstain for 3 weeks, the last 2 of the 3 weeks falling on a 2 week school break, I was indoors for most of the break but when I returned to school I was completely astonished to realise that my social anxiety was reduced to ZERO, no like I’m not exaggerating, litteraly ZERO, and ideas were flowing constantly, it was very surrealI, I also began to remember a lot of childhood memories that I’d completely forgotten about (which was quite eery)

There isint really any research on this other than mechanistic data but I will absolutely die on this hill, gooning is brain poison

Stephen Hawking once famously said that "people who boast about their IQ are losers".

I am curious if many people who are interested in cognitive testing, do so because they feel they have underachieved in life and are looking for some kind of validation of their intelligence and abilities.

No offence intended, I'm including myself in that number.

I'm not sure if it's relevant, but I'm 19 and male.

I've done the character pairing test my first time yesterday and decided to retake it today and got from 13 to 19 SS, but I fear it's invalid as I already kinda practised the finger placement once through the test yesterday, but idk.

I’m looking to get an accurate estimate of my full-scale IQ based on my cognitive testing results. Here is a list of my scores:

WNV 39/41 (131)

WAIS-III MR 25/26 (16SS)

JCTI: 15 SS

JCFS: 121 (14 SS) completed in 20 minutes

TRI-52 - 44/52 / 135 (786) (completed in 50 minutes)

BETA III MR 25/25 (130)

FRT A form 40/45 (131)

Raven’s 2 (Long Form): 136(43/48)

G36 30/36 (121)

RAMP II Set 2: 35/36

Tutui R 19/40(127) spent 2-2.5 hours

Mensa Norway: 110 ( first IQ test.scored 121 on retake)

Mensa Denmark: 124

Mensa France: 30/40

CORE : 121

CAIT : 126

Dominos

TIG-1 31/35(138) completed in under 15 minutes(norms seem inflated)

TIG 2 - 123 (32/50)

D-48: 38/44(127 or 135 under different norms)

D-70: 34/44(114)

Based on these results, what would you estimate my true FSIQ/PRI to be?

Hey so basically I wanna know if I’m low iq or not I honestly think I’m not tbh basically the story is I had stumbled across this old report that my mom had left on accident and it said my IQ was 67 but it was a old report of when I was 16 I’m 19 now the moment I saw it I didn’t even have to open it I just got a flashback from it since I have pretty good memory I can remember a lot of stuff even from when I was a kid like I can visualize really good and accurate like my old houses or old schools etc and I looked it up and did some research my self I honestly don’t do any of the things that it said someone with a low IQ would do I have a learning disability tho that’s it tbh school wasn’t my best suit but recently I had retook some courses and did pretty well on them because I wanted to not because I was forced to. my question is I’m not sure if I’m not because rn at 18-19 I feel like I’m doing pretty good for myself like I’m making alot of my online businesses I know how to manage money really well I know how to self teach things myself etc but yeah anyone here if u can help me out id really appreciate it cause tbh the moment I had saw that envelope and got a flashback I really haven’t been able to like sleep eat my mind is just going in circles and it’s making me lose my mind so please anyone who could help me because I have like no idea about any of this IQ stuff so yeah.

ps. My bad if spelling or grammar is off I really just need this to be cleared and get off my chest cause it’s lowkey ruining my life lol before I found out about I it I was perfectly fine now I’m doubting in things I’m even good at it so yeah 😭

Hi everyone,

Sorry if questions like this aren't allowed here, but could someone help me make sense of my results? I feel like they don't really make sense but maybe I'm wrong!

(I think in the Digit Span Backward test I got confused and just did it forwards lmao, I don't think I have a hole in my brain in the area that's used for this task, hopefully..)

And I'm not a native English speaker, I am 18 years old and only really learned English through the internet and somewhat from school.

Is it possible? Im willing to do whatever training or lifestyle habits it takes. My friend is skarter than me and always rubs it in my face and it makes me feel so bad. I jeed to increase my intelligence as kuch as humanely possible. If this is not possible then I guess I will sull because life sucks and isnt fair. Thanks!

No he wasn’t

Hi Geniuses.

I'm a pre-med student (currently 17) from China currently living in Canada and I took some of the most recommended/reputable online IQ tests recently and I'm kind of surprised at how close the scores are. Also I had to skip English heavy tests as much as possible since non-native.

Cognitive Metrics:
125 FSIQ (skipped English)
128 GRE-Q
120 CAT
126 GET
112 AGCT
120 Old SAT-M composite

Mensa Online Tests:
Norway 133(my 1st IQ test ever)
Denmark: Ruined as I was interrupted in the middle.
Finland 135
Hungary: 125+
Sweden: 126+
New-Zealand: 28/33
France: 34/40

Other:
RAPM set 2: 32/36 in 30mins
Bright: 120
Brainzella: (took me slightly over 20mins which is the instructed time limit so prob way lower）
IQ. Champion: 114 (most ppl say it's very deflated idk for sure)
International IQ test: 123
Brain-testing: 133(too easy items, seems invalid)
Wonderlic: 31/50 (in English)

My middle school ranking in China was usually stably in the 80th percentile but 90th percentile for non-literature subjects.
For those wondering, I'm not financially independent (still living with parents) so I physically can't go for an official test yet, and I just want an idea of predicting my school/career path in the upcoming years. Thank you.
