Overall IQ - 142

Verbal Comprehension - 141

Perceptual Reasoning - 132

Visual Spatial - 141

Cognitive Proficiency - 119

Pretty accurate, though I think Verbal would be a much better metric if the GK part was much longer since there were some random ones that I missed but would ace x% more of other random stuff. Also agree that the symbol search is bunk. Would be much better if it was pressing keys 1-5 or something.

The digit span subtest seems to be broken, but I shall go ahead and report my other scores.:

Verbal Comprehension: 151

Perceptual Reasoning: 127

Visual Spatial Index: 143

Cognitive Proficiency Index: (excludes digit span) 95

This is eerily accurate. I always knew I had slow reaction time.

they def need to recalibrate the symbol matching one because it kept saying I was retarded and I don't think it would be THAT lopsided

I didn't realize the first time trying it that it wasn't asking for rotations of the same symbols, only literal matches.

I got 139 overall - 143/124/127/122 sub-scores. Seems odd that one outlier score is weighted that heavily when my average is down in the 120s? But I'll take it. It's good to get some word-cel affirmation.

This pretty closely matches my SAT scores, and the previous shape rotator one gave me something around 125, so I'm accumulating enough data points to start to trust it's a reasonably good IQ estimate in the 130-140 range.

This also validates my decision to stop taking math classes as soon as I met the bare-minimum requirements so that I would have more time to practice my instrument. I would be a mediocre software engineer.

The symbol search was ridiculous. Most of my time was spent moving the mouse.

General knowledge was embarrassing. I couldn't come up with some really easy answers. Tip-of-my-tongue sorta thing.

Based on the amount of reading I do, I thought I'd score higher on vocabulary.

First of all, thanks for unblocking me Walt! I never did anything anti-you as far as I'm concerned. You must be sleep deprived back then when you blocked me

Anyway:

Overall IQ: 118 (wow higher than I expect)

Verbal Comprehension: 120

Perceptual Reasoning: 112

Visual Spatial: 110

Cognitive Proficiency: 117

Right. So... today's out then. Tomorrow's not looking good either.

What if someone like me comes out like 70? What would happen? Would I be out of this corner of sub stack or am I useful as a data set?

Same as last year: overall 123 IQ

Verbal comp: 119

Perceptual reasoning: 122

Visual spatial: 127

Cognitive proficiency index: 108

How I try to cope with my result: English is not my first language and this digit span test seems to be broken

I have no clue what the first three numbers mean, to be honest. Also, is this not somewhat inflated? But to be expected from an online test.

Matching symbols seems to be my kryptonite, years of gaming for no pay off.

Why are you telling your followers to take this IQ test if you know it's bullshit?

Also, certainly not everyone, not even every or an overwhelming majority of above average IQ people know this. I bet most of people in this comments section aren't as aware as you think they are. You're in a bubble.

you know sometimes I get burnt out talking with performatively unbothered normalfags and art hoes knowing they'll always sort of laugh at me for caring way too much about shit or ruining vibes with my autistic preoccupation on The Way Things Actually Are

but then I'll see a comment like this and suddenly everything will click

anyway I'm ostensibly sharing it because it's a fun community building activity but if u game shit out starting from my rational self interest you can probably intuit my other motives

Seriously, thanks for the actual reply fellow autist.

My integrity/credibility consistently building a track record of defensible & reasonable shit is PART of my personal survival strategy/self-interest. It's about trustbuilding.

The more scams I fall for & spread to my niche micro audience, the less trustworthy I am to the most elite, honest, & truth-finding men out there whom I target for alliance & radicalization

Quality over quantity 😉

Idk, I took it and this CAIT one looks very good for a free test. It seems to be done by some kind of autistic IQ obsessed community. Or maybe 120 IQ midwits training to get 130 on their test score to feel good about themselves.

Ive taken real IRL proctored IQ tests & gotten 119 & 117, respectively, performing highest in verbal IQ & the tests suggesting that's an underestimation of my true abilities.

But I'm guessing if I took this test I'd get 130 or higher.

Everyone who has taken real, proctored IRL IQ tests knows that online IQ tests are useless and usually give you a score 10-1000 points higher than one's actual IQ, if tested fairly & properly.

Yes, I WILL be a stickler. This is important.
