All the same test? Those are troubling results indeed, since the 2pt change from 2002-2004 looks like a practice effect, but a 35pt fall is surely not a practice effect.
Presumably you'd measure your domain expertise by your domain results. That's how most experts get by: lots of domain knowledge, not so much need for fluid intelligence.
The problem is that, in many situations, I was so poor at playing political games that I wound up accepting other people's political measurements of my domain expertise, instead of accurate, objective measurements. I've eventually developed a sort of neurotic "learned helplessness" that makes it nigh-impossible to accept accurate, objective measurements of any of my capacities, if they would have a positive connotation.
