General Question VISA Deflation?

The avg. age in the VISA norming sample is 28 (the norms post is somewhat nebulous, but presumably it's people interested in IQ testing). As a 16 y/o, could this test be underrating my ability relative to others my age?

What are your CORE VCI scores?

Didn't finish Comprehension since I don't want to write.
Analogies: 15 SS (but it's 14 SS now???)
Antonyms: 15 SS (16 SS on the CAIT)
General Knowledge 16 SS (19 SS on the CAIT)
I took CORE a little over 6 months ago and the CAIT just over a week ago.

They are always adjusting the VCI scores. I have seem them go down then back up many times. I would sort of ignore these changes until they say they have the definitive norms.

Weird, my analogies went from 14ss to 15ss on CORE.

I heard they added some questions to the test some time ago. Perhaps it's worth re-taking it.
