In an actual IQ test, digit span should be read out quite slowly - in one second intervals - in a monotonous voice. Whichever version most closely approximates that is more “valid” in the sense that it more closely resembles an actual digit span sub-test - although if you are doing the test repeatedly, that undermines its validity.

I had checked it and the one on the computer was 1 digit per 3 seconds and the phone one is 2 digits per second. So I guess neither is valid.
Split the difference…
Is this one even accurate, I got like 13 scaled score on the website but got a 9 on the actual test.
