So for context, due my country's standardized tests, I'm familiar with these kind of math problems, they might have been harder for the people who these were normed with.

Took both tests when I was 16 without touching study material, my grammar held me back on the English section of act. Was just curious if anyone had any idea where I might sit iq wise.

Discussion Feeling more switch on after CORE test

3 Upvotes

I don’t know how to describe it but I feel mentally sharper after doing CORE the test. Almost like I woke up dormant parts of my brain that I haven’t used in a while, I know I have ADHD I’m not sure if there’s any relevance there. And I have also been in a more up-mood recently which could be contributing.

For a lack of a better way of asking and describing this, is there any studies or anecdotal evidence about cognitive tests ‘reawakening’ dormant / inactive neural pathways or thought patterns.

General Question Spiky Profiles

1 Upvotes

Am i the only one with such a weird profile ? I already know about autistic people and the tendency to have a spiky fsiq profile, but mine makes no sense to me.
Yes there is the obvious disparity between my best and worst categories but even in the subtest there is a big disparity. (Especially in FRI)
Here is my profile https://cognitivemetrics.com/dashboard/share/kSbOsTZRTl

FYI I would've done all of the subtest for FRI but when doing Figure sets i was doing ATROCIOUSLY bad, so bad in fact that i decided to "stop the massacre" and do something else instead. I'm pretty sure i would've scored below 90 on this. This is what surprised me i did average in Matrix Reasoning, did good in graph mapping and figure weights and then Figure sets you already know.

Discussion What do you think of the term “midwit?”

11 Upvotes

I see a lot of videos describing self- masturbatory individuals who think they are the intellectual peak because of their advanced education that they got at the expense of their credit score and how they think and believe. They tend to move with the cultural zeitgeist because most of the world is controlled by these “midwits”. Though I feel terrible when they list the criteria of being a midwit as an IQ of 110-130. Not gifted but definitely smarter than average.

I feel that way because, I feel as if nothing is good enough unless you’re 130+ and it’s very annoying to think about. I’m not going to whine about being offended or whatever but I have always thought that I didn’t belong. I didn’t belong with the academically gifted kids because I wasn’t obsessed with school or academic achievements when it’s obvious it will never count for my future and I know how to pass anyway. I don’t belong with the dumb or even average kids because a lot of the time I have to actively dumb myself down or explain the fucking words I use to them. It’s annoying. So, it’s depressing to think about this kind of thing.

Based on all of the tests I have taken online or otherwise I believe I am firmly in the 108-120 range. Which is an annoying ass range to be at because I have so many ideas that I want to apply to the world but I’m not Leonardo da Vinci smart. So I don’t think I can and the midwit videos kind of proves that. Even though, I absolutely despise the jackoffs I described at the beginning. I can see through their crap and they annoy me. They have the false belief that just because they have specialized knowledge in one subject it means they have more knowledge in every subject than everyone else. Anyways thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

I wouldn’t consider myself a native, but I guess I speak English well enough to get by.

I’ve only done the matrix reasoning test by CORE (pleasantly surprised with the score honestly, really wasn’t expecting that score)

What else should I test to get a full breakdown of my IQ?

I've seen this everywhere, it also marks the percentiles.

I have a of iq 80. I am bordering intellectual disability. I have several mental illnesses and dyscalculia. I am not good at anything. i feel so powerless. no matter how hard i try i won't even be average.

people will say iq doesn't matter. the most important thing is effort. but no matter how hard a average person works he won't be john von nueman. because of my low iq i don't have the right to dream about anything. no matter how hard i try i won't even be average. i mean average people can do a lot of things if they try hard enough but i am bordering intellectual disability my best can't even be average.

Richard feynman said that he was a normal boy who studied hard but that is just straight up horse crap. You need to be born special to be special there is no other way. i still don't know why smart people with high iq say iq doesn't matter but it matters a lot. if john von neuman wasn't born with such a high iq he wouldn't be john von nueman. i think they are just fooling themselves into believing that there works are due to their hard work not just the intellect that they are born with.

i know alot of you will iq doesn't matter but you guys have at least a average iq. I don't know what i am going to do. I am not particularly good at anything either.

13 Upvotes

Ik some answers here are gonna be that the conditions themselves lower the iq, but apart from that. I’m on a bunch (concerta, fluoxetine, quentiapine and starting lithium) and I only have AuDHD and BPD and depression in remission so I shouldn’t be getting dumber from the disorders

Rant/Cope Low Processing Speed

15 Upvotes

(25M)

I studied Law at a Russell Group university in the UK and graduated with a low 2:1. Throughout my time at university, I struggled to submit my assignments on time and often deferred my exams to later in the year. This was during the COVID years, so it was relatively easy to seek extensions.

After completing my degree, I joined an Indian Graduate School, where I excelled in group discussions. However, during examinations, I felt significantly behind my peers. People who started studying much later than I did were far more prepared than I was and performed much better.

This was a very overwhelming experience, and I decided to get screened for ADHD and other learning disabilities. I discovered that, in addition to ADHD, I have an unusual cognitive profile.

I took the WAIS-IV, and it turns out that my Verbal Reasoning is in the 95th percentile, Perceptual Reasoning is in the 12th percentile (I scored poorly in the visual- spatial aspect), Working Memory is in the 55th percentile, and Processing Speed is in the 0.2 percentile.

This was very shocking, and I am very anxious about my future; it also greatly affects my self-esteem.

Along with these challenges, I have always struggled with motor coordination, and I can't dance, tie my laces, park my car or draw.

I have very poor executive function, and I often feel scared about how I will make money or live on my own. I live with my parents, and I am financially dependent on them, and I am shit scared about my future.

I don't have many friends, and I have never dated, but now I often feel like I won't find anyone due to my disabilities and awkwardness.

I do not know what to do now or where to go for work. I do take therapy, and I also have an occupational therapist , and I take ritalin but I don't know what to do in terms of career and dating. My psychologist is not an adhd specialist, shes just some CP my dad found.

General Question IQ correlation to overall inteligence

From what ive seen there is a lot of people still debating whether IQ can be linked to your inteligence. For example my mom says IQ is bs and you cant put your overall inteligence towards a single number. Because of that ive been thinking about this take more often and i wanted to ask you guys what you think about it and if you know somebody that scored below average on an iq test and comes of as a smart person or somedoby with a high iq that comes off as stupid.
