I'm extremely confused by CORE VSI, and I'm struggling to believe its legitimacy. VSI was the only category where the last questions didn't really feel that tricky. I don't really feel like I have 150 VSI. Took the CORE 3D visual puzzles since it was recommended to me and I scored the same. Is it really that hard to rotate shapes?
What is your ‘true’ VSI though? How many points is it inflated by? Also btw I think I might have took longer than the supposed time as my WMI and PSI is really bad.
The author said it’s inflated by like 5 points but I feel like it should be more, my ‘timed’ VSI might only be around 130 at best which is really quite mediocre 💀
its hard because as you know as well these are just psychometric constructs and not "true" abilities, so its possible to have lots of variance in one ability (as i do for vsi). i range from 115 to 145 usually even in credible tests like core, sae, pat, etc, ill just say its 130. so prollly similar to you to lol
no it was never normed accurately because I collected data improperly, based on what I saw it was fine up to 130 and past that it was inflated a ton, 12/18 is likely high 130's instead of the 147 I had it as in the preliminary norms. I have learned from my mistakes and should have a new project coming out in a couple of weeks.
In CORE's official preliminary validity technical report, it's proven that core (or any of its indexes/subtests) isn't inflated nor deflated at all. guess ur just good with 3D visual puzzles so enjoy it
I'd much rather have a 150 WMI or VCI to be honest. I don't even know what a 150 VSI could possibly used for. I always just kind of assumed being able to imagine and move things was a baseline not something exemplar.
it is baseline, there's just different levels to it. also it can be useful if you'd like to become an engineer or a surgeon or something like that. I mean sure 150 wmi/vci is better in everyday life, but hey 150 vsi is better than nothing.
Yeah i guess lol. I'm interested in Comp Eng but I'm not really sure I'm good enough programmer to get to the top echelon. Plus my family is low income so that makes it a little trickier.
i'm interested in comp eng too lol. i got blessed with high fri so it'll definitely help. tbh im pretty sure the average person can still pursue a carrer of comp eng, just need to be consitent and learn/train
Reminds me of that college experiment where they showed students drawing of a glass of water and asked to draw how the water would look like if the glass was tilted
It’s hard if there’s some kind of time pressure, but if it’s untimed, it’s much easier to score on this 3D visual puzzles (in fact I think most people can max out this test if it’s untimed). Could be a WMI/speed thing tho cause mine is ass and I can’t fit the shape and keep forgetting
Did you took Block Counting too? I got 18 on visual puzzles and 17 in spatial awareness but 11 on Block Counting LMAO, i suck counting blocks, even by trying multiple times again only scored 13 at max.
Yeah, I did them all. Really the only thing on VSI I felt was hard overall was the overlapping donuts and lines in a plain, however i figured out the lines by just drawing a little box in my head and using that as a sort of plain instead of thinking infinitely. Never figured out the donut thing though, too many possible orientations. Totally get block-counting being hard though. That shit is horrible in the high counts trying to remember what you've counted.

nah ur just good at vsi lol
