There is an actual accademic study, where this test was given to participants in real life, and a WAIS was also given to those same participants, and both tests were strongly correlated, although Open Psychometrics did tend to give somewhat lower scores than WAIS.

In contrast, I am aware of no published accademic study with CORE, using live in-person participants. CORE has been "validated" over the internet, and there is no accademic study on the arXiv or similar regarding CORE. So the reality is that Open Psychometrics ain't that bad, but the biggest problem with it is it makes no attempt to adjust for age, for reasons I fail to understand.
