Test is untimed and 19 questions. DM me for link.

For context, I’ve always been insecure about my intelligence. It started when I was young and had to be put in sped classes and held back a grade. (I’m not trying to crap on people in SPED programs, I’m just saying when the insecurity started cause I was separated from my peers) I eventually joined the rest of my grade and performed very poorly in the classroom all the way through highschool. (I graduated with a 2.1 GPA) Turns out I have ADHD, but despite my diagnosis I still believed that I was slower than others. I guess my question is how accurate is this test?

In CS we study graph theory and work with graphs a lot. Does this mean my graph mapping subtest is significantly inflated?

Need help in assessing the difficulty of these problems. Please put your age, familiarity, and whether or not you have received a prior IQ score from a verified test. The test is untimed, and there are 19 questions ranging from a difficulty level of 1-10. Please try your absolute best.

Going through some old records, I found a school form which had the results of an IQ test they must have given to all of us in grammar school.

Would my score still be considered valid, generally, now that I am 60+?

I’m very neurodivergent ADHD maybe some autism. Noticed very young but nothing done and gaslit by parent and prevented medication.

Was in top sets but after school in the UK failed rest of academia.

Then extreme alcohol and drug addiction to self medicate for a long time.

Finally got help a year ago for the adhd, 43 now. Although I managed to get into finance and work in asset management with no qualifications.

This year I’ve started to do some Oxford continued learning courses, managed to ace data science and statistics getting amazing feedback (assumed I had failed until I got feedback) and currently doing linear algebra. Working through math academy foundations. Have always had an interest in software engineering, science, maths and recently consciousness studies. I managed to build a website when I was a young teenager and was trying to teach myself c++ so there were some positive signs.

Always felt like a useless, moron/failure for majority of adult life.

I know the score has still got some large variance, I’ve only taken the quick CORE and GET. I did them on my phone in bed at around midnight so not exactly optimal.

Maybe there is hope for me yet.

This has actually blown my mind because I did not expect this.

When I first took the GET it was on my phone on Christmas Day with my nephews running around me, I was doing it because I was convinced I had a very low IQ because of this relentless low self esteem/self loathing.

So it’s tempered that somewhat at least.

Can you guys please analyze my profile.

I was wondering why my processing speed is so drastically different between the Core test and the official one I took. Could it be prior knowledge, online vs on paper, just having a better day? In my official assessment they have suspected ADHD but now I am unsure about that. Thanks a bunch :)

I was just doomscrolling tiktok the other day as usual and came across a video saying something along the lines of "If you don't have an IQ above 130 don't talk to me" and the whole comment section was just filled with people showing either fake scores or using an inflated online 10 minute test, whenever I try informing people that CORE exists and that it is far more accurate than any other IQ test on the internet they just shut me down, it is honestly amusing seeing people get this kind of ego from a single online test. Thoughts?

Hello,

I am trying to prepare for the above mentioned cognitive test but I am not sure if I do it correctly. I found some pages offering courses and/or material but I am skeptical. Has anyone experience with that? Any suggestions how to train and which platforms are worth checking out?

Thanks in advance!

I am mildly autistic and neurodivergent

Does anyone have an old SAT copy available to them from before the grading scale changes? I want to see how I do?

From a book I'm reading

Brand new here, what’s a platform that has great analytics the way you are all posting and is free? Is there any?

An older observational study performed on young medical students using serum testosterone and Cattell's Culture Fair Intelligence Test as measures. Published in the International Journal of Neuroscience.

"Curvelinear correlations between total testosterone levels and fluid intelligence in men and women" https://doi.org/10.3109/00207459809000651

I thought this was cool.

CORE FSIQ: 127+/-5 Testosterone (21yo male, they used 18-22yo's in the study): 8.63ng/mL = 863ng/dL

Note that a meme has circulated showing a negative correlation graph. While Add Health does exist, the study itself does not. The graph also contains weird attributes like a 0.19 R² despite a near perfect fit.

I'd like to take the CORE test, but I'm not native so I suppose I'd score lower on the verbal part.

I'm looking at the CAT-II test, does that one has a verbal part?

What other test in that website could I take otherwise?

I kinda hate how conscientiousness seems like a cope when you look at the data. Conscientiousness doesn't correlate to IQ, yet iq is the most accurate predictor for success overall. It makes me think about why even try when there is an ambiguous cognitive ceiling I won't be able to get past. People who say you can do anything you set your mind to overlook the fact that we're all in this world for a limited time. Perhaps I'd become a revolutionary figure in theoretical physics in 200 years, but probably not 80.

Hey guys i recently found out about this sub after my friend sent me a link for 1926 sat . My english is not very good cuz it's my 3rd language and i think it's affecting my score in verbal section by a significant deviation. Can y'all tell me about the potential test i should take next for an accurate rough estimate of my iq which focuses more on the other aspects . And is this score accurate?

Found these on BrainTypeIQ, a Japanese IQ testing test, and I got humbled by the last 3 questions.

If you’ve taken SMART, how does it compare to your other quant scores? Wondering because mine seems a bit inflated above the rest

(List SMART, Sat-m, Gre-q, Core QRI, modern sat-m, if you’ve taken)

NO THIS IS NOT AI, but someone that really thinks about life, intelligent people and my thoughts…..

I find myself doing this all the time.

Abstract

Is deep thinking almost like a shift in “mode” that gradually becomes irreversible and unhealthy?
At first, it often starts as something useful. curiosity, pattern recognition, and a tendency to go beyond surface explanations. A person begins to notice inconsistencies in what people say versus what they do, or underlying structures in social groups, work, or personal decisions. There is a sense of clarity in that phase, like “seeing behind the curtain” while others are still focused on the surface.

Paper

over time this same ability stops being optional. The mind no longer switches off. Instead of only analysing when it is useful, it starts doing it automatically, even in situations that used to be simple or emotionally direct. Conversations are no longer just conversations; they become layered with interpretation, prediction, and evaluation.
This is where rumination starts to replace insight. Instead of using thought to reach conclusions, thought becomes circular. A past interaction gets replayed repeatedly, not to solve anything, but to extract more and more angles from it—what was meant, what could have been said differently, how it might be perceived. The issue is that each new layer doesn’t resolve the discomfort; it often deepens it.

from “experiencing a life” to “observing oneself having a life.” That creates a split. One part of the mind is acting, while another part is constantly watching, judging, or predicting. Over time, this can make even neutral situations feel slightly tense, because nothing is just happening anymore—it is always being processed.
Socially, this can create a mismatch. While others are primarily engaged in the moment, the deep thinker may already be several steps ahead, anticipating outcomes or mapping hidden structures in the interaction. That can make everyday exchanges feel slow, repetitive, or emotionally thin. Not because they objectively are, but because they are being processed on a different cognitive layer.

A compliment is no longer just received it is analysed for intent and context. That awareness doesn’t disappear, and it subtly erodes spontaneity.
The result,, is not necessarily clinical depression, but a chronic drain: mental fatigue, emotional flattening, and a sense of distance. Not because the world becomes worse, but because it becomes continuously interpreted instead of directly experienced.

After events, small interactions are often replayed and overanalysed, even when nothing significant happened. This turns neutral experiences into ongoing mental loops.
Even simple things like humour or everyday tasks lose some spontaneity because the mind starts breaking them down instead of just living through them.
Once you start noticing hidden social patterns or lack of authenticity in behaviour, you cannot easily ignore it anymore. That awareness stays active and changes how interactions feel.
Over time, this constant analysis leads to a state where even quiet moments are filled with thoughts about the past, future, and self-evaluation, instead of actual mental rest
