The ASVAB can be studied for and grinded, though, like the SAT, it would require more effort with a low IQ. Iirc the breadth is less than the SAT. Is there another test you are referring to in terms of this "IQ test proxy"?
For fair disclosure, there was a study which showed that as IQ decreased, the span of time for a perfect IQ score prep increased almost infinitely, as the low IQ kids forgot the material they already learned. Maybe I will look for it later, would be very relevant here.
- Retric 7y agoYou can actually prepare for specific IQ tests and thus inflate your score. Though presumably that's just gaming a test and has zero impact on IQ as measured by unrelated tests. However as this makes the tests less accurate it's discouraged.
- ohaideredevs 7y agoRight. That's a huge problem even when trying to figure out if your IQ changed over time. Even with Raven's progressive matrices, just knowing roughly what type of manipulations can be done to the shapes can help a lot with your score.
