So out of curiosity I went and took a modern test that someone on reddit said is supposed to have a very good reliability rating (not that that says much). Yup, there were still some cultural/knowledge questions (“Which of these is a church most likely to have”), not just general problem solving and such.
Most importantly though I passed the test of not paying 15$ for getting the final result and instead googled what the percentile was equivalent to as it said I scored higher than X out of 1000 people. Perhaps if I was a white American I’d have scored a tiny bit higher, but honestly I’m very happy with the score I got, IF the test is accurate at all.
Edit: I also took another test and the vocabulary section was very much a “high-end school in English-speaking country” ordeal IMO. Most of those were not words you’d ever use. It was brutal, I had to go by vibes personally. More successful than I thought I’d be, but felt like an impostor lol
