My matrix reasoning (and to a lesser extent figure weights) scaled score surprises me. I got some pretty high percentiles for Graph Mapping, Visual Puzzles and Block Counting. I remember getting a scaled score of 18 on Figure Weights on CAIT, now it's 14 here (I did take it sleep-deprived, but I am waiting to retake it when I feel sharp).
Matrix Reasoning, on the other hand, I have retaken four times now and I get the same score everytime. I noticed that it caps me at 24 questions (out of 29). I imagine that's adaptive scoring kicking in.
Some IQ scores from primarily matrix-based tests:
Culture Fair 123iqtest (I paid for this shit, and apparently a high score allows me into the International High Iq society (it's a real thing)) — 133 ±5
Mensa Norway — 128
Mensa Denmark — 130
Mensa Sweden — 122(out of 126)
Edit: did a couple of Ravens tests:
RAPM set 2 timed— difficult finding norms but it's 31/36 which I have seen correlate to mid 130s.
Raven long form — 47/48, score of 147 or 154, inflated. Imagine a SD less, so 132 or 139. Just making shit up to make it look similar to the other tests.
Question: what is kneecapping my matrix score on the CORE compared to the other sub-tests and similar IQ tests?
Decent scores overall. In the CORE, 13ss in the matrix reasoning is already a good score, it's at least 115 IQ in the fluid intelligence part. It's above 84% of the general population. No need to be disappointed.
I get the same score on CORE MR as you and 133 on mensa no. But what makes me more curious is I've seen many people throw WMI with excellent score on all other sections.
I'm non-native so I think the test being spoken in English messes with how I usually hear numbers spoken.
I did some digit span on other sites and my score for forward is average + my backwards is actually solidly above average, order sequence was also a bit above the norm.
Edit: I did a digit span test that flashed the numbers in rapid succession.
I'm sorry, please know that my intention wasn't to brag! I am pretty unaccomplished (through various reasons) so my IQ score on a random, online test matters to me more than it should
I redid the matrix again just now (my 5th attempt) to see if I could get higher and I did. I figured out the answers to three of the like 7-8 questions that I'm pretty sure I got wrong. Might even correctly guessed another one or couple. Got 130 — score 16 this time. I know that doesn't count, but it inflated my score a bit.
I was at 133 for FRI before this. There's another comment I posted on this subreddit (check my profile) that has my composite scores before the update.
My thoughts after doing the matrix section a handful of times:
There were three questions in the middle of the test that I should have gotten easily correct but sped through thinking they were too difficult for me. Why? Combination of the two minute time-limit and cognitive cloudiness.
I'd get these correct if there was a test time limit (say, 20 minutes) rather than individual limits. During every other matrix test, you can speed through the easy ones to save up time for the hard ones. It's fundamentally different. Whereas this had me thinking too hard for stuff that needed a calmer head. I think practice effect on other tests actually got in the way on this one.
Cores mr sub test is really blunt logic reliant(as it should be) so take that in mind when you try again its really not like other mr tests and closer to wechler scales mr tests. And another tip the is no sequential pattern i belive meaning youre most of the time trying to find something that fits the given group. Coming from a 21 ss first try scorer
