The Wonderlic test. Take the test and post your results.

68 on IQ = 5 on Wonderlic
85 on IQ = 14 on Wonderlic
100 on IQ = 22 on Wonderlic
115 on IQ = 29 on Wonderlic
132 on IQ = 36 on Wonderlic

Test is culturally sensitive; and corresponding IQ scores are based on averages of those that have done both. This is not an IQ test. good luck.

Median scores from different professions from 1983; If I had to guess I would imagine the scores a little higher to today, because, if nothing else, people expect it, and practice.

In that case it is a fairly neat little metric.

None of the questions are annoying to solve or take too much effort besides some internal math. I also like the time limit, it was about the perfect time for me to finish while speeding through it quickly.

I definitely agree that equating scores to IQ like OP did is doesn't seem very fair.

It's basically just the Processing Speed Index, with things that should really be in Verbal Comprehension Index and Working Memory Index (which aren't timed). So it's one hack of a test.

also 46/50, which is weird because while I was doing it I really felt like I was getting a lot of it wrong. I chose uncertain for a few of the logic questions (ex. yellow raincoat) and I eyeballed all the calculations. The word combinations seemed out of place because I wasn't sure how they expected you to handle words with multiple meanings, ex. BEAT and POUND, so I assumed they had meant for you to take the literal, most basic meaning of the word (which is also subjective..), but you shouldn't have to assume, the question should say in the most literal sense of the word, or something like that. It was also ridiculous how different versions of that same question had a different format, is that some meta-IQ part of the test where you need to quickly realize you are being asked the same thing?

>> No.10335949

>>10335942
It's difficult for people with AS/HFA even if they have a high IQ, because they normally have a very low Processing Speed Index, even if they are highly competent for the rest of the test.

>> No.10335958

>>10335944
For the vocab questions I thought if any use of the words lined up, they should be similar

E.g. "equal" and "level" where level can mean something is at equal heights and balanced.

I agree that they seemed a lot stupider than the other questions though

38 but damn I have no idea about anything other than the metric system and feet/inches kg/lbs conversions (because I lift but I can't build muscle), and am not a native so some of the voc questions went over my head. Still this is low. On top of it I can't build muscle. I don't have any good qualities. Why can't I improve at all? OPs IQ chart is overrated, there are already several people nearing 50, I hate myself. Also Im autistic and I have myopia. Why am I alive? When will my suffering end at last?

It's not really a problem. if you find it hard to concentrate intently then you are bound to do bad on the test, it's no reflection of your actual abilities.
I presume concentration can be trained to a certain extent. Like meditation, just practice on focusing on something intensely, and noticing when your concentration has been broken and bringing it back to the task. Start off slow, do 5 minutes, and work up.

I should've skipped the ones about inches and stuff, cause I'm european. My actual score could've probably been like 3-4 points higher if I'd skipped those. Got 29. Not the best but at least I'm honest about it. I'm never the first to finish on tests, lot of things take longer cause my working memory is shit and I constantly need to check if everything is right.
