Snapshot Report
Crystallized Intelligence
Subscale IQ score = 141
Subscale percentile = 99.69

On this scale, which measures your ability to retain previously learned knowledge, your score was very high. It is important to remember certain information so that we can apply it to the problems we encounter. Acquired both through education and experience, this tends to increase as we age and accumulate more knowledge.

Interesting test. I hate picture/shape questions and word problems are always fun. Not interesting enough to get the full report, however.

Scores seem to be bullshit to me, btw.

Yeah it seems to be off.

Not a great paper but it does conclude that the Queendom test avg is within 1 std of RIAS avg.

Subtract ~6-7 from the score to get the commonly accepted IQ.

So it does work but the scores are inflated.

Sorry...my attention span for unimportant trivial bullshit isn't that long.

I got 141, but I guessed on the last 4 questions cause people came in to my office.

We are either a bunch of smarties, the test is rigged to one side or no one wants to post a low score.

108, though I got bored towards the end.

I also feel like crap. After picking up lunch today tried to open the door to my building with my car key-fob instead of my badge, so I'm having a pretty off day...

BTW, my "real" IQ was 126 when I got tested back in 2nd grade.

Sigh, why do all IQ tests have word questions? English is not my native language, how the heck am I supposed to know wtf those words mean without looking them up? Never saw them in my life

IQ tests should never have questions based on previously acquired knowledge, just logic and perception

Logic is easily taught. I recognized many of those questions as modus polens and modus tollens.

There are a couple ways outside that, you can find the right answers online I am betting and or retake the test a couple times. An IQ test isn't that hard if you are using more than the given time/seeing the same questions again.

Sure, but I bet that all three of his explanations are partially true.

On an honest note, 111. Subscale 79.

I did get a 93 on the asvab though, but here on AT that's practically failing I'm sure.

Asvab score and the real raw scores are very different. I had all 99%. There is some mojo behind the scenes on those tests.
