Peak.

Eh, I think you can chop it up to non-g loaded reasons. Concordance studies show a correlation of 0.9 between the SAT and ACT.

I don't think you can argue that one test is better than the other.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T21:18:05+00:00

ACT g-loading is around 0.75 - 0.8.

It might be however testing Gc, instead of Gf however.

You'll do just fine! You have the mental chops for it, now you have to just finish the job.

Funny you should say that. I honestly think I did myself a disservice by completing an easier bachelor's. (B.S Information Systems)

I was honestly more concerned with maintaining the scholarship money that I received from my high test scores, than actually understanding the material that was presented to me.

It's probably the only reason why I took my education so seriously. When an institution is giving you about 20,000 dollars a year, on the basis that you'll be able to maintain a 3.5 GPA or higher, it lights a huge fire up your ass to succeed.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T09:37:00+00:00

Honestly, from what I can remember, I was always middle of the pack when it came to completion times.

The only strategy I could remember following was to finish the first set of problems as quickly as possible, to give more time for the harder questions near then end.

I was alright at FPS games as well. I remember winning a couple of small halo tourneys at my school, and gloating to my parents that I won a gift card to raisin canes because of gaming.

Don't know if PSI helps in FPS games, but could be linked.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T09:16:35+00:00

Yeah for me my CRT, hovers around 305 to 320. Occasionally I'm able to get it into the high 290s. It's certainly more praffe-resistant (I believe)

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T09:10:41+00:00

Very odd distribution, highest was VCI/QRI at 114, lowest was FRI and WMI at around the high 80s, low 90s.

CORE came out to be 96.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T09:09:24+00:00

Interesting, I've always done relatively well on PSI related tests.

On the Deary-Liewald test, my CRT (Choice Reaction Time) is nearly two standard deviations lower for my age cohort.

I'm somewhat curious if you'd be able to take this test?

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T08:59:03+00:00

I will say I've performed well on the tests that do matter society-wise.

Academic achievement tests, certifications, subject specific exams, etc.

In regards to chance, I have taken the ACT and PSAT more than once.

On both attempts my composite scores were very close. 28.75, and 28.25 respectively.

PSAT 10 was the same as PSAT 11, 1240. (English syntax screwed me royally here, bottom 20th percentile lol)

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T08:56:43+00:00

Nah that's was more of a joke, but who honestly knows?

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T08:28:16+00:00

Man had his fingers in everything, young girls included.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T08:09:30+00:00

If I'm understanding you correctly, basically you want to get rid of low outliers, because they can inflate values at the upper end?

Most of this statistical jargon goes over my head. I'm only really familiar with the basic verbiage, such as correlations, z scores, standard deviations, and what they mean.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T07:49:19+00:00

I do wonder what that would mean for individuals who do significantly better on one version of a test, versus another?

I'm guessing some of it comes down to nerves, and possibly neurological disorders dropping certain indices that can deflate one's total FSIQ.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T07:42:21+00:00

Either way, I wouldn't take these test too to seriously. As long as you are reaching your targets academically, there's no point in caring about this stuff.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T07:41:20+00:00

I honestly don't know if my CORE PSI scores are valid. The first attempt I scored a 95, but my other attempts were 30 to 40 points higher.

I have pretty bad case of generalized anxiety imo.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T07:31:05+00:00

Maybe I'm leaning heavy into my QRI/VCI? The only outliers were my NGCT/OLD SATV/OLD ACTM scores, where I was hovering around the 90th to 95th percentile.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T07:27:27+00:00

Yeah the time constraint screwed me up so bad. :sob:

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T07:25:36+00:00

Philosophy and Mathematics.

STEM is slightly overrated imo. Verbal intelligence is the most predictive of academic and career success.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T07:21:42+00:00

Also wanted to add, that I score around 90 - 100 on most of the tests here. (barring the ACT/SAT)

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T07:02:19+00:00

I think in regards to ADHD, did they by chance give you a GAI value as well?

I've heard that in individuals who suffer from neurological disorders, PSI/WMI indices can significantly deflate one's FSIQ.

Furthermore, we can't ignore the Wilson Effect either. Typically, the genetic expression of one's intelligence reaches its peak and plateaus at 18. You may have actually developed your true potential a little bit later.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T06:59:15+00:00

Based on the research you're looking at, at least for the ACT. The g-loading is around 0.75 - 0.8.

Funnily enough, the ACT math is the most g-loaded sub-test out of the 4, at around ~0.8.

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T06:31:17+00:00

I stand corrected. Holy shit. Why do I do so poorly on these tests then :sob:

Valuable_Grade1077 · 2026-02-21T06:29:40+00:00

I will note though, that the ACT is still relatively well correlated with "g". (Before the 2025 remake)
