98-CI IS UNDER DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION.

This score reflects performance on the current 98 assessment version under the stated conditions. It is not a clinical diagnosis and does not, by itself, establish employability, future achievement, or standing relative to any other person.

What is measured today

  • Whether a candidate answers each generated item correctly, under a server-enforced time limit.
  • A proportion-correct estimate per attempt, computed by a documented, versioned scoring algorithm (fixed-form-v1).
  • Basic device/session integrity signals (backgrounding, timing anomalies) used to flag attempts for human review.

What is not measured

  • A clinical or 'verified' IQ score of any kind.
  • A percentile ranking against the general population, or against 'humanity'.
  • Employability, future achievement, or standing relative to any other person.
  • Anything about a candidate once outside the specific timed conditions of the assessment.

Full detail on construct definition, sampling, reliability, fairness (DIF), accessibility, and exactly what would have to be true before 98 could enable VALIDATED_MODE lives in the validation plan.
