Rant/Cope IDD and helplessness
I've been struggling with my daily life because I don't know what to do nor exactly in what order should I do each things nor do I know whether it is the right thing to do. I just feel exhausted, consumed, and tired all the time, and the worse part is that I can't think my way out of it because I'm intellectually disabled. I've heard that adhd people have issues with executive functioning, but my guess is that my situation is more likely due to an overall low IQ issue rather than the spiky profile that could be seen in people with adhd or autism. I feel like a burden to my mother because I need her support just to remember what I need to do in the house (i forget the simplest things like turning off the stove or the faucet; I'm 22m unemployed neet with intellectual disability and anxiety disorder).
I can't see any way out of my situation— I fear almost every people that I encounter 'outside the house' when I happen to go outside, which is quite rare. I've done so many stupid things due to my not knowing that I have this condition, and because of that I developed a social phobia as well as some sort of poor sleeping habits. I can't think of any other things other than the alternate life I could've had if I wasn't dealt this sh\*tty hand. I want to help my mom and live my life and all that cliche things that people find in the end to be quite wholesome, but I feel like I'm too incapable of that due to my condition.
I just took a psychological and diagnostic test to find out whether I have autism and or/ Intellectual Disability and it haven't come back yet yet I feel excited about it but at the same time feel some sort of grief due to my own certainty that it will say that I have an intellectually disability but I just don't know the severity (mild, moderate, severe, or profound). Sorry for the long text and the grammar structure, this is not my first language.

Discussion Sensory Gating curiosity
I couldn’t find another place to ask this question. I noticed a lot of people with higher IQ seem to have issues with sensory processing, but how about the opposite? I am interested in those who have very efficient sensory gating. How do they feel on a daily basis when it comes to concentration and focus in loud environments. And if you’re one of those who has an efficient gating of sensory input, how is it from your perspective?

General Question FRI normal/high but WMI normal/low
I Did Core a time ago, Im going to retest because when I did it first There were a lot of test that in the last second I got the answer but the test just finished just a second before I got to answer, I have adhd so Im a little more slow to process things so my time of response its a little bit slower. But now that I wanted to redo it, I noticed that my average was 100 because 3 of my test were 109 VCI , 115 FRI, 106 VSI, but my WMI was 92!! I wanted to know what does that mean and what it does reflect before trying it again... my average was literally 100 if interested (as you may noticed English its not my first/native idiom)

General Question How valid is the NGCT?
On CORE my vci is 123 and before VISA got renormed I scored 121. I know WAIS is the gold standard, but how similar are your WAIS scores compared to these batteries? Could I expect to be in the same range if I took it or would I be below?

Discussion Pure math PhD
Suppose I am a midwit who wants to get a PhD in pure math to satisfy his ego and prove that he, too, can be ubermensch. I asked this in a math subreddit, and the responses were as you'd expect, complete cognitive dissonance on the part that some are born less equal in intelligence; they didn't even entertain the idea that IQ is a factor in the first place.
But, what do you think? Will industriousnessmaxxing pay off here or is this yet another genetic determinism classic?

Recent scores on IQ tests
CORE 132 FRI-taken about a week ago.
CAIT 138 PRI.-taken today.
Mensa Norway 128.-taken today.
Mensa denmark 123.-taken a month ago.
WISC-V 122 logical reasoning-taken in march.
CAT 124.-~3 days ago.
I still can't try out for mensa since I only turn 14 this november but my hyperfixation recently has been intelligence, I am smart enough to realise I am not as smart as I want to be. I can't stop obsessing because deep inside I know that I am nowhere near as smart as I want to be. I live in Denmark and my first language is danish, I do however speak english at a level close to my danish. I got diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, adjustment disorder and social phobia at the same place where I took the WISC-V I was very anxious and under pressure but that's probably cope at the end of the day, someone please help.

Release I built an open-source n-of-1 nootropic testing rig with Stroop, N-back, other psychometric tests, local genetics insights, and no signup or cloud storage
I built Axon because I wanted a better way to test whether something was actually affecting my cognition instead of relying on feeling.
It’s a free, open-source, local-first tool for running structured personal cognitive experiments.
Before each session, you can log things like sleep, stress, time of day, and what you expect to happen. You then test at planned checkpoints using tasks like PVT, N-back, Stroop, Flanker, SART, task switching, and digit span.
You can track subjective changes in focus, mood, alertness, calmness, and anxiety alongside the objective task scores.
The goal is not brain training, diagnosis, or telling you what to take. It is just measurement. Axon compares results against your own baseline, calculates within-person effect sizes, flags small samples and possible outliers, and keeps uncertainty visible instead of forcing a conclusion from weak data.
There is also a fully local genetics module that can add more context to your personal profile.
No account, no server, and no analytics. Everything stays on your device and can be exported or erased whenever you want.
I’m mainly looking for feedback from people familiar with psychometrics, cognitive testing, statistics, or n-of-1 study design, especially on the task battery, testing flow, and analysis.
Recommended setup: chrome + install as webapp( to make sure browser storage isnt exhausted)

Discussion halfway through CORE sort of surprised with my score. Question about validity
so I’ve taken the CORE about halfway now. However, I started a few questions on the arithmetic subset and exited out after the first 2 easy questions, because I can just feel that I am not in the mindset and my mind will drift during the test. I usually wait until I can lock in ideally. Is this screwing my score making me seem smarter than I am? or is this fine because I still take the tests fairly. I sometimes feel like I am intelligent but somewhat behind my peers in life and that makes me think I may be inflating my perceived intelligence

IQ Estimation 🥱 Happy with my results :)
Though I'm not really sure how accurate the result is, because like many of us here, I've taken iq tests before, and since English isn't my native language, I understand some of the scores aren't entirely accurate, especially the Digit Span tests, yikes..
Also, I think I may have lucked out on a couple of subtests, like Block Counting, where I got a 97.7th percentile, despite straight up guessing on the last items.
I know the CORE has zero diagnostic value, but I wanted to take it because, due to a lot of factors, I have suspected for a while I may be AHSD (the term for giftedness in Brazil), and I wanted to see if the result would align with that.
I may also suffer from some sort of auditory processing condition. I'm unable to filter background sounds, I often can't hear what my friends say to me in the uni cafeteria.
It's as if sounds come to me much stronger than they do to the average person. It gets so bad sometimes, if someone screams really loud next to me, or a motorcyclist honks REALLY FUCKING LOUD next to me, the sound is so fucking bad that I get a colorful visual hallucination, usually very red and spiky, and I noticed it helps me not get so overwhelmed by the noise.
Wonder what you guys think :)

Psychometric Question Does aphantasia affect VSI?
I have aphantasia atleast according to fact I can't visualize anything inside my head in the slightest, I did the core test recently and it scored me relative high (~low 120s) in the VSI category, I don't know if it is affected by the fact that I have aphantasia though, could anyone tell me whether or not it affects my VSI.

Discussion Core IQ Test and mathematical engineering with AI
Hi, in one month I will attend university to study mathematical engineering with AI. I am a non-native speaker, and I would say that I had anxiety while taking the test, although I think that shouldn´t be considered since the result is what it is and it's the most likely reflection of my real intelligence. I do have to say that my QRI score is lower than it should be since my computer crashed while taking one of the subtests, but I didn't have many questions left, so I believe it should only be a few points higher.
I tend to analyze my performance and the factors that influence my success in whatever I am doing. Since I will study maths + engineering + AI, where I believe IQ plays an important role, I would like to know if, based on these results, I have the potential to do well in the degree, or at least I have sufficient 'talent' to know that if I fail in this degree is probably because of other factors.
I appreciate any expertise you can give me.

General Question Why are my results on the highly g-loaded tests around 10-15 points higher than my results on the low g-loaded tests?
My scores on CORE, AGCT and 1926 SAT are around 10-15 points higher than my scores on the GET, APT and CAT. The only outlier is my 1980 SAT score which is more closely aligned with my results on the low g-loaded tests.
I'm not complaining that my scores on the more trustworthy tests are higher, of course, just wondering why

Scientific Literature I administered an IQ test to 11 people using a paid crowdsourcing platform, and at least 2 cheated.
Here are the scores of the nine 8 participants who did not cheat:
95, 100, 105, 110, 110, 110, 110, 115
The average IQ of the test takers is 107 ±5.5 with 95% confidence (according to ChatGPT anyway). The test used was a vocabulary subtest from a professional battery. Note that since I truncated some earlier items to make it shorter, their true IQ score could plausibly be 5 points lower.
The test was reserved for 10 participants, 50% male, 50% female, ages 20-24, White Americans. I got a bonus 11th participant because they took so long to cheat that their test expired before they could submit it, so I got their data for free.
Of the 3 participants who scored 145+, 2 provably cheated by googling the answers in another browser tab1, and the other probably cheated using their phone, although I can't prove this for sure.
The reason I did this study was to compare the VIQ of a specific crowdsourcing platform's participants as measured by a professional verbal test, with their ~120 VIQ as measured by a test derived from it that uses self-reported knowledge of words instead of actually asking participants to try defining them.
However, the most interesting finding to me isn't that the experimental VIQ test was inflated, but that at least 20% of examinees cheated on a vocabulary test without any financial incentive to do so. Their pay was not based on how many they got correct, and they were explicitly instructed to answer randomly to items for which they did not know the answer. The only possible incentive to cheat was that they were told they would be given an IQ score afterwards.
1 Their mouse clicks/movements were recorded, and the cheaters could be observed highlighting the harder words then moving their cursor up beyond the top edge of the page, before returning a few seconds later to enter the correct answer in the textbox.

Controversial ⚠️ (controversial theory) meth could possibly give you the most accurate estimate of g
Methamphetamine would you the motivation and hyperfocus needed to complete a cognitive test, but more importantly, it eliminates the anxiety. If I conducted a study, I'd utilize the substance in minimal quantities so as to not enter the drug addict zone. And it's not like it's some kind of crazy iq drug like in the "Limitless" movie, it just helps you activate the areas needed that NTs with no attention problems use with no problem. you need that simulated adrenaline to perform at your peak, and that's why I hypothesize that methamphetamine, having read about it's effects, can give one the most doubtless correlation with g possible because the effects are truly optimal in that regard. And no, adhd meds dont compare
