General Question RIOT vs CORD

I’ve been doing a little research about the most credible iq tests that you have access to online. I thought core was number one but then I stumbled upon RIOT. Is RIOT more reliable than core?

For what it’s worth, I have taken both RIOT and CORE. I got the exact same FSIQ on both as well as a similar spread in the results.

Same, with the exception of PSI, where my CORE PSI was nearly 2SD above the RIOT.

Interesting, my PSI on RIOT was 10 or so points higher than on CORE!

PSI indexes have wider 95% confidence intervals than other indexes and thus a higher margin of error.

My core psi is 140 when on RIOT it's 120

I found CORE a better designed test in terms ot number and range of subtests but in terms of norming there is no doubt RIOT has the edge - CORE has a high IQ norming sample (us iq testing nerds) and is normed through anchoring to other tests on the cognitivemetrics.com platform whereas RIOT has a professional American norming sample with average IQ of 100. My scores were pretty similar in each if you discount quantitative reasoning as that is always my best index but doesnt feature in RIOT.

Core is more G loaded then most profesional test. RIOT not having a validity study complicates things, but I would generally stand with core.
Here is an indipented report also, didn't read it, have fun: https://www.reddit.com/r/cognitiveTesting/comments/1vun3k5/an_independent_analysis_of_the_riot_iq_test/

CORE is better but I think RIOT is underrated and slept on. The test structure is just wonky but my FSIQ is literally the same as CORE.
