Searching for Participants

[Bee]

Hello o7

I secretly have been testing 52 people on Brainlabs(dot)me, all who did either the WAIS IV or the SBV with a psychologist. 
I would like to invite you to my little experiment. 

Testing would take place on the website Brainlabs(dot)me, which was developed by The Cambridge University and has since been validated for more than 25 years, alongside 300 studies published. 


The site requires you to register, but you don't have to provide any real data when registering, so you can make up a fictional email and password (Don't forget it).


It tests areas such as Information processing speed; Auditory/Visual short-term memory/Working Memory, Logical/Fluid and Spatial Reasoning, as well as Speed of Spatial Perception.


My thought experiment:


The tests on Brainlabs are designed in such a way that you have to practice to get better in some tests, until you reach your personal cognitive limit, which is different for everyone, depending on their intelligence profile. So you can also look and quantify how you are functioning on any day. (after plateaud)


What do I hope from this? 


To prove that every human being, depending on his intelligence profile, has a different maximum potential, which cannot be exceeded. Also, because the tests, according to my thesis, should be done multiple times, it is suited for people who have test anxiety, Aspergers and ADHD, because those profiles tend to have significant fluctuations in their cognition. Since I am one of those people, unable to perform with a certain consistency, I searched for alternatives. As to what describes my condition, and when interested, please look into my comment history. 

Furthermore, I hope to prove that these tests have a good reliability and validity to keep up with tests like WAIS IV and Stanford Binet. 
(Brainlabs already conducted a Reliability/Validity Study, which show's a correlation of .67+ to g) 

With my method of plateaud scores, we scratch on .81-.87 for the Memory Section, and .73 for PSI, alongside .75 on FRI. 

I recommend the following tests: 

Feature Match: Information Processing Speed 

Spatial Span: Visual-Spatial Working Memory

Digit Span: Auditory(Phonological Loop) Working Memory/Short-term Memory

Monkeyladder: Visual-Spatial Working Memory

Double-Trouble: Inhibition Control/Decision Making/Processing Speed

Odd One Out: Logical Reasoning

Rotations: Spatial Perception and Manipulation

Polygons: Spatial Perception/Logical Reasoning

Doing the tests on PC/Laptops is allowed, but I would recommend using a Smartphone with a screen refresh rate of at least 60. 

Don't get discouraged about your first results on the test;
You need to take each test probably 10-20+ times. After about 20 tries on each test, I need your first score, your average score and your highest score, on each test listed above. You can do the Tests whenever you feel like it :). 

If possible, please answer the following questions(not required):
- Device Name (Modelnumber/complete list of setup(Hardware/Software))
- Connection Type: Ethernet/WiFi
- Age
- Height
- Weight
- Occupational Level
- Head circumference
- Impaired Vision? (Myopia)
- Test Scores of proctored Tests (not necessary, but highly appreciated) 
- Recorded Disorders on either the DSMV or the ICD11


I already collected scores from 52 individuals with varying IQ's/cognitive profiles. All of them have done a proctored IQ Test with a licensed psychologist. 

So i have created normative data for age 15-35:12.


Scores show very high correlation between my Theory of first score, average score and most importantly, highest score achieved on each test. Do not use any techniques, which might inflate the scores. 

Corresponding strength and weaknesses on the IQ Tests can be observed on brainlabs, after plateau has been reached. 

Have fun, and give your absolute best on each try! 

Note: Scores which seem to be cheated, will be reviewed separately to ensure credibility. Either through a Discord Call, or a Screen Recording)

Thanks for everyone deciding to participate.

Hello, 

Thanks for making the effort to conduct this experiment. I am willing to share my scores, but I won't provide a screen recording or have a discord call, I will however provide screenshots of my brainlabs.me test history if necessary. I have been using brainlabs for a while now and I think I have plateaued on most tests. 

According to the most reliable online IQ tests (JCTI ,raven's 2, TIG-1 and TIG-2...), my IQ score is 137. You can find these tests in the wiki section of the r/cognitivetesting subreddit. All of the aforementioned tests are professionally developed with solid norms.

I have a question regarding the tests : I use chunking in working memory tests, does your norming account for that? (chunking is allowed on WAIS digit span afaik).
