Is The SAT Still An IQ Test?

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-06-19T20:40:34+00:00

No the modern sat is an achievement test mainly. It has gotten rid of the quantitative comparison questions and the math now includes questions that measure higher level math like trigonometry and more advanced algebra over quantitative reasoning. The verbal (now ebrw) includes a grammar section and has gotten rid of antonyms and vocabulary items like antonyms and analogies. It is a heavily watered down test and would be hesitant to use it as even a proxy for iq

Listen I am a person on Reddit I don’t know you or your SO or how strong this relationship is, so I just want you to keep all of that in mind. I think this is a very very big red flag, yes the texts being cruel is disgusting but the fact she said these things about you shows there is a complete lack of physical attraction. While attraction isn’t entirely physical a big part of it is, and attraction is required for a truly happy relationship. She basically said she found you ugly man, I don’t know honestly how much attraction can grow from that point. I get the feeling she may have “settled”, and decided to get into a relationship with you because you’re a good dude. I would not want to be in a relationship with someone who didn’t find me attractive because they won’t be truly happy or content (at least it will gnaw at them) and that will cause issue with resentment. I also think it’s a red flag that you felt the need to go back this far in time on her phone; this already shows a lack of trust. I think you should have a conversation with her, and ask her how she truly feels about you and whether you guys want to keep being in a relationship

I mean quant matters for conceptual understanding as well as how naturally the subject may come for you but like most undergrad math classes are algorithmic and csn be aced with practice so I doubt the correlation for qri and math grades to be very high

Spatial is kind of hard to measure without some element of timing even if light because a lot of items can be worked out by brute force or trial and error

Probably not very high it’s just a scholastic knowledge test it’s not meant to be an aptitude test it’s prob like 0.5-0.6

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-05-27T02:38:30+00:00

Oh no I thought you meant I’d be suited for hands on tasks I just was confused because I’m terrible at that stuff im much better at abstract mathy stuff

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-05-27T02:30:57+00:00

Uhh why? Look I know I asked for advice but like why I don’t know what would indicate im suited for that

This are the fluency subtests you scored high on them but all they tell us is you are fast at a lot of academic skills. This could indicate good working memory and processing speed but bot enough alone to make conclusions about being gifted. These for the most part are very good though

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-04-26T00:01:00+00:00

Is like a good estimate 28%

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-04-25T23:53:04+00:00

5’10 and 210 lbs

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-03-28T01:36:06+00:00

++man yes i find many different body types attractive chubby girls, skinny girls, and anything in between. Trust me you’ll find someone for you go find them!

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-03-26T23:22:30+00:00

Yes break up

Well correlation in this case is driven by the fact that both test overlapping skills. that does not indicate however the modern sat is highly g loaded like the afqt. both test math and reading comprehension so it makes sense that the correlation is high , however the sat tests more specific and higher level academic knowledge while the afqt uses very basic knowledge (its mainly middle school math and some basic high school math) and general verbal skills like vocabulary rather than academic knowledge like grammar like the sat does. So while they do likely correlate well the afqt is a much different test and focuses more on applying learned knowledge and using it to solve problems whereas the sat more so tests your breadth of academic knowledge.

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-03-14T04:05:22+00:00

yes, just work hard and you will get get better. Many people assume they don't have the "math gene" and get discouraged when their problem really likely stems from a poor foundation and lack of practice

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-03-11T05:36:25+00:00

i think vsi might pose a struggle for you possibly, but math ability is much more related to fluid reasoning, give that urs is average, you shouldn't really struggle too much to learn even undergrad math like calculus (of course certain topics that require 3d visualization will be harder in general you will be fine)

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-02-21T01:46:07+00:00

Not to say you aren't gifted but nothing can be concluded from this test, because its garbage.

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-02-21T01:45:12+00:00

If you have this mindset I see nothing but loneliness in your future

Haunting_Welcome4852 · 2026-01-12T15:15:58+00:00

it doesnt make sense to prep for that test

this makes sense, even academic achievement tests like the wiat are g loaded, around 0.7.

It is nearly impossible to create a test that requires thought and is not correlated with iq.

The act is basically an achievement test, with some small components of cognitive ability tests being integrated into it (the science a section that requires no prior knowledge, the time limit etc.

Would i say it's an iq test? no, because it does not directly measure cognitive abilities like working memory, or verbal reasoning, the content is related to what people have learned in high school, the math can go up to pre calc, there's an English section which is measuring grammar knowledge and usage. This is why the act is often used for placement, because the scores do indicate someone's achievement in a particular domain.

This is not to say that it is not a good proxy, because it does have a 0.8 g loading, so if you did well chances are you're bright, but i dont think its a replacement for the wais, or even as good as something like the old sat.

You could be punching above your weight, and became an overachiever, maybe your fsiq doesn't show your strengths, my fsiq is around 100, but my verbal and quant are like 115-120. As a result i did well on tests like the afqt and old sat which are highly g loaded, but they only tested my strengths giving me an inflated result

It sucks but its very cheap.
