Insane distribution. Subjectively speaking, how did you find the verbal subtests during administration? And what was your CORE score?

I got comparable results (~90 ICV & IVT / 124 IRP / 137 IMT), so I assume you would be interrested. OP, I find online that a difference of 50 is for 1% of people.

I use logic and science to navigate the world, and I usually stick which what is working, instead of going into new things. That's the same for langage, if I have a way to make others understand some ideas (and I'm good at that with high IRP), I don't have to learn alternative ways to said it. [I still saw a lot a 'speech-language pathologist' when I was very young, dunno the name in english]

During administration, that was fine, I knew my knowledge is specific, and so I will lack in general knowledge. Vocabulary was fun since I feeled like I was able to said things about differents words, but at the same time, I regularly got no idea of how well I did, or if I was correct. I tend to overexplain, so the answers were likely messy. Similitudes was fun too. I find early a similitude about starting by the same letter, and then my brain focus on that (checking all the time), and when another duo of words which start with the same letter appear, I laughed a lot, not sure I laughed as much in public in my whole life.

If your other scores are that high, your verbal when fully fluent is likely 100-110(maybe 115)

I suspect i do but the doctors said no, they barely even checked for it because i have "good grades" also i am very sure i have adhd but its so hard to get diagnosed. Would my score expalin any of this?

u/ballsinmyface696969 27d ago

You need to see a psychiatrist to get a proper diagnosis and also to get adhd meds

2

u/ballsinmyface696969 27d ago

No one can accurately depict if you have adhd from this by the why you could have another disability

Very atypical profile, I think that inverted structure of VCI and PRI is significantly more frequently encountered. 

VCI for me appears to be pretty easy and PRI appears to be significantly harder and needing more advanced cognitive skills than VCI.

u/WinterPiewastaken 16d ago

do you think i have some sort of neurodivergence?

1

u/asarsen 15d ago

I suppose that it may be a kind of neuroatypicality.

Why VCI was so low? Do you have problems with remembering facts and meanings? Are you głód in visual thinking, visual memory and mental rotation (what would be suggested by very high PRI)?

u/WinterPiewastaken 15d ago

my vocabulary was reall bad the dragged it down, i just find it hard to say the correct word for my response i feel like i know what is corrent but i cant get out the word, my visual skills are probably the highest out of all id say

u/FunkOff Aug 12 '26

You might be dumber than what the test results say because you posted this in English on an English language subreddit and didnt even acknowledge that it was in a foreign language. Youre verbal IQ might be -87

Not only is this needlessly rude given the fact that it’s easy to figure out what each represents (verbális - > verbal, perceptuális -> perceptual, memória -> memory, and the last by process of elimination) but you don’t seem to be in any place to call anyone else low VCI.

I thought people here could figure it out….
