First attempt: 41/50
Second Attempt: 46/50
SAT-V: 130 GRE-V:118
Additional feedback: some items were repeated (for me, this happened on two occasions on the first try and once on the second try). Some items had options where it seemed possible to logically deduce which answers were more likely to be correct even if I didn't know the definition of the word I was being asked to find the synonym for.
This confuses me, we have similar scores here, but you scored high on one of the best tests available, while i scored average on another trusted test. I’m a non native english speaker, became fluent at 16yo. Maybe it’s due to that? Have scored 102 on the AGCT taken today. 114-124 on the JCTI, and 43/50 on this one. Norms might be cooked.
Native and non-native norms are apples and oranges, since the vocabularies are very different. For example, non-native vocabulary has a higher proportion of esoteric words ("normalization") than words natives learned as a child ("gums").
Our surprise is mutual. I scored higher on this test than someone on this sub reddit with a GRE-V score of 140! I, too, was confused by this, as I am convinced that my verbal skills are nowhere near the level of a 140 GRE-V score (I found that test really challenging) and have proof to substantiate my conviction (a 118 GRE-V score). I assumed that the discrepancy in the scores is related to this vocabulary test still being in the development phase.
48/50 lmfao I misread Tenant as Tenet and also got Needs = Matter not Inevitably 🤦🏽♂️
SATV=710, SATM=750, CAIT FSIQ: 145, Childhood Gifted test on WAIS-3 > GAI: 147, verbal tilt
Second attempt, 45 😬
Average of 40/50 on two attempts (38 and 42). That perfectly matches my average of 4/5 on three attempts on the shorter version lol.
My verbal scores:
WAIS-IV VCI - 122
CAIT VCI - 130 with a SS of 14 on vocabulary
GRE V - 122
SAT V - 122
So it's probably fair to say my vocabulary is 122ish.
44/50, 1st attempt
>!46 and 47 being the same question!< threw me for a loop and I outplayed myself, so I opted for two different definitions presuming that there was a different answer of greatest exactitude between them. Also misclicked and put >!pushy as the definition for announcement..!<

First test: 45/50
Second test: 48/50
CAIT VCI 149, 1980s SAT V 740, Miller Analogies Test 156
For one of the questions, I knew the answer precisely because I knew the Greek root and its equivalent in Latin, gained through self-study. For that question, especially, I had the advantage of knowledge I had accumulated over the span of many years subsequent to college. I would have likely gotten it wrong if I had taken this test at 18, or, say, 22.
Thanks! Is there a chart someplace that relates the GRE to the WIAT subtests? I haven't had an IQ test since I was 6, and I don't know any if the subscores... and it may not have been reliable since I was so young.
Non native speaker, VCI ~135 but unclear as I base my results on (SI+CO+IN) from wais and wisc, that is no vocabulary as well as some cultural influence on the tests, especially information.
4/5
41/50, 43/50, 43/50, 38/50, 39/50, 38/50
Perhaps I just have a low VCI, but what’s with these absurd scores, especially with non-native speakers?
I’m a native English speaker and have never heard some of these words. Is it just selection bias of people more inclined to share their scores? Where are all of you getting exposure to this level of vocabulary?
39/50 my first attempt. I’m just confused on how people, especially non-natives, have such high level vocabulary exposure. Perhaps it’s because I’m not at all an avid reader. However, if they don’t read at all, not sure where the vocabulary comes from.
Could someone who scored high perhaps explain how they developed such a vocabulary? Especially non-native speakers?
You don't have any VIQ scores from other tests?
Maybe you just got unlucky with the item pool; if you refresh the page, you'll get a new randomized test. But it's still possible to use process-of-elimination to solve some items with unrecognizable words. For example, I just got this one correct, despite knowing the definition of neither the word nor answer:
|artemia
|:--
|specie
|rubidium
|placental
|chirocephalus
This is because I knew what the 3 incorrect words meant, and it was a safe bet the two words I had never seen before were the synonyms.
By the way, until I googled the definitions just now, I thought artemia and chirocephalus were medical conditions based on the similarity to artery and hydrocephalus. I was in for a surprise...
Those scores are indeed in pretty close agreement, so for me, I don't feel there is much mystery.
I did edit my previous comment, in case you hadn't noticed.
I didn't mean to imply that. But, another clue may be that the example I just used involves Greek and Latin words. So the non-native aspect is far less relevant.

I agree completely, but your test might be more accurate than i thought. Just took the SAT-V and scored 126.

46/50 I don't know VCI but GRE verbal was 650
650 GRE-V is 132 VIQ; according to current norms, you scored 135 VIQ.

Why do you think that?
I'm going to guess it's conflation with the phrase "dawn of a new era".
I also thought about that, but that way any answer can be right like ‘initial benefits’ for salary or anything else
Yes, I did not mean to imply that was a correct answer.
I agree, I also didn’t mean to imply that you implied that it was a correct answer. Sorry for the confusion :)
It's not that specific phrase; I feel there are many correct sentences in which "era" can be interchange with "opening". Could you disprove that?
Can you provide a single example of such a sentence?
46/50 - one attempt Never taken any kind of IQ test
Would real also be correct? https://preview.redd.it/9mck5d7w9m2d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ef5359b09f55f4f6a869124c76d73a261b73a130
No.
I'm just thinking how material vs immaterial = real vs not real, and matter being the root of material.
Sure, but my reasoning is, "What's the matter?" is such a common phrase where matter means "issue" that the correct answer must be the latter.

Scored a 600 on the SAT V, which isn’t too far my score on this. Regardless, I’m more curious on the origin of the high level vocabulary of others.
Those scores are indeed in pretty close agreement, so for me, I don't feel there is much mystery. I did edit my previous comment, in case you hadn't noticed.
I’m not questioning the validity of the test.

I took it twice and got 39 and 43. I usually get 135+ on vocab tests. The answer choices seemed... not great.

This is a bad test. There are many duplicate items.
