Originally posted by the holy ghost the problems are as novel as any vocabulary question or analogy would be. my comparison with the SAT stays.. people familiarize themselves with the question format and practice many examples. they see improvements that are mostly marginal in the majority of cases. also, my scores never deviated very much even after years. 133 and 143 were my first scores, and i've had 156 score on verbal tests so my general ability isn't influenced by practice effect. any new question requires a new approach to solve. taking the same test over and over is a different story, and 2nd/3rd attempts are considered valid. high range tests are often untimed and people have been known to spend months working on the problems. there is a standard error of measurement though, so scores between many tests can vary by 30+ points. i don't find you to be intelligent but my "eye test" you would consider less valid than yours. if a test truly has a high g loading it reduces the influence of any potential practice effect because high g loading correlates with question novelty.

What makes you think this test has a high g loading? You say you made gains of 2 full standard deviations after repeating it multiple times which suggests the opposite, that the test is crap.
Have you ever taken a proper IQ test administered by a professional? I took the WAIS at 19 and scored 128 full scale IQ. I usually score 10 - 20 points higher on these BS online tests without practicing, so I question if they're properly normalized. And I could probably get much better at them if I had any interest in stroking my ego this way.
I don't see any reason to think this one is accurately reporting your mental ability.

the test has visibly high reliability ratings, the scores follow a bell curve, and the iq ratings are meant to correlate with standardized tests as much as possible. it isn't that i made gains of 2 standard deviations over time, because i've also gotten scores ~100 in this time period. every test presents a certain set of problems that require you to think like the test taker.
the scores of 100 and 160 are equally valid if the tests are both with statistical backing. this is because no test is able to comprehensively assess intelligence, and every question probes for different unspecified neural connections. if your brain is attuned in one abstract way but not another, it can explain individual differences in problem solving ability. though considering every test i've taken, the average is more around 130. if my range is 100 to 160, i average around 130 or slightly lower due to any possible practice effect.
the thread wasn't so much to brag that my IQ is objectively 166, it's more like one facet of my thinking is in the exceptionally gifted range, which strokes my ego. other facets maybe not so much. i was in gifted placement after IQ test around 7, went to schools for gifted kids, I did take the stanford binet at 14 and the score was 100, but a professional agreed that the results were wrong. this makes sense and isnt just an ego defense because many subtests were missing, had nonsensical scores (it said my arithmetic ability and working memory are 40 when i can do both just fine) and was unprofessional in other ways. it was a sped school test so i think they just wanted me to seem appropriate for their services.
why don't you take it to see if the score you receive is inflated/deflated relative to your WAIS score? that could actually be a valuable data point.
the truth is, even in the most professional forms IQ testing is a very inexact science.

the subtests were missing or had scores that made no sense to anyone. if my arithmetic was 40 i wouldn't know what 2 + 2 was. and it wasn't consistent with my childhood scores. also i took 1000mg of bundy the day before but idk if that makes a difference. -
