    I don’t know, when I got tested it seemed like they were testing the right stuff.

    I’m pretty sure it’s a well-made test that provides fairly accurate results. Even if what they claim to be measuring in each category isn’t reflected in the test, it is, at the very least measuring the abilities required to take the test and that exactly.

    It seems pretty straightforward to see how good a kid is at solving a puzzle, right?

    If you took a test as a child, it was probably WISC-V.

    This assessment provides the following scores:

    • A Composite Score that represents a child’s overall intellectual ability (FSIQ)
    • Primary Index Scores that measure the following areas of cognitive functioning: Verbal Comprehension Index (VCI), Visual Spatial Index (VSI), Fluid Reasoning Index (FRI), Working Memory Index (WMI), and the Processing Speed Index (PSI).
    • Ancillary Index Scores are also provided: The Quantitative Reasoning Index (QRI) ; Auditory Working Memory Index (AWMI); Nonverbal Index (NVI); General Ability Index (GAI); and the Cognitive Proficiency Index (CPI).

    Which seems very reasonable to me. This was originally intended to be an aptitude test, not strictly to measure your intelligence.
